Universal Translator

The Universal Translator is a collar device that translates to and from most languages. It is given to members of the Galactic Union as part of its healthcare system, but it can be bought off of the black market. Included is a swallowable nano-electronic that dissolves into the bloodstream and enters the ear, where it then reassembles. It is used by the Vortox Pummelers.

All of the Final Frontier tabletop game, as well as its assorted media (short stories, this wiki, etc.) are written from the perspective of a person experiencing the world through a Universal Translator. This is why many idioms, metaphors, and otherwise local terms are presented in Earth languages, specifically English. However, if this hypothetical narrator had been from another planet, we would not see such Earth-centric language.

Languages
Modern Translators can translate most languages, but some rarer languages are not automatically registered and must be added manually. Some of these include:
 * Zielic
 * Kelpish
 * Dukket
