Coined on 5/29/2025 | Colors based on the definition and the band Sleep Token | Venenium comes from venenum (poison in Latin) and somnium (dream in Latin). Óneiros is ancient Greek for Dreams, with Óneiskos being a combination of Óneiros and -iskos, a diminutive suffix. Trestian is based on TrES-2b, the darkest planet, and Kelpian is based on Kelper-1 / TrES-2a, one of the stars TrES-2b orbits

Saru and Burnham: we’re going to use ancient technology to trigger a biological process among a whole entire species at once that, according to their belief system, means they need to kill themselves or they may go insane. This will dismantle their entire religious structure, and the class system on their planet, allowing them to fight their oppressors while at the same time giving their oppressors both motivation and opportunity to kill all of them at once. Whichever side wins will almost certainly decimate the other, destroying all sense of balance on the planet and rewriting every part of their civilization forever
