Space : Space is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space. If you hold a lungful of air you can survive in the total vacuum of space for about thirty seconds. However, what with space being the mind-boggling size it is, the chances of getting picked up by another ship within those thirty seconds are two to the power of two hundred and seventy-six thousand seven hundred and nine to one against.

Slo-Time Envelope (Wicket Gate) : While the people of Krikkit were busy preparing to exterminate all other life forms, the multiverse was enjoying a period of peace and prosperity. This was symbolized by the Wicket Gate, which was made up of five pieces. The left upright was made of steel, symbolising strength and power. The middle upright was wood, symbolising nature and spirituality. The column on the right was made of perspex, symbolising science and reason. They were joined across the top by two other pieces: the gold bail of prosperity, and the silver bail of peace. The Wicket Gate is the key to the Slo-Time Envelope that houses the planet of Krikkit and its sun. The pieces of the gate were scattered across the universe, following an attempt by the Krikkitmen to capture it and release their masters.

Slartibartfast : A Magrathean coastline designer who won a major award for his use of fjords on the coast of Norway, Earth. He was woken from a five million year sleep by a final order for a duplicate Earth. Its premature demolition caused a terrible hooha, and a new copy was ordered from the original blueprints. It was Slartibartfast who told Arthur Dent that his home was, in fact, an enormous computer working on the ultimate question to the ultimate answer. He has never been very good at threats. His name is… not important.
