# Glossary

| Term                         | Meaning                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pelusium**                 | Logistics tooling for **EVE Frontier**: on-chain **freight jobs** and SUI escrow, plus discovery features like **shops** and the **Cargo Well**.                                            |
| **Freight job**              | A **contract** on Sui that locks payment and tracks pickup → delivery between two **SSUs**.                                                                                                 |
| **SUI**                      | The token used for **escrow** and fees on the **Sui** network (your wallet holds it).                                                                                                       |
| **SSU**                      | **Smart Storage Unit** in EVE Frontier — on-chain storage at a structure. Jobs name a **pickup** and **drop-off** SSU. See **[Completely new](/completely-new)** for a plain-language tour. |
| **EVE Vault**                | Official EVE Frontier **wallet and identity** (Chrome extension or web). Connect it to Pelusium; use a **separate** exchange account if you cash out SUI.                                   |
| **LUX**                      | In-game currency in EVE Frontier for many purchases and trades (held in EVE Vault). Pelusium freight **escrow** uses **SUI**, not LUX.                                                      |
| **Ephemeral inventory**      | A **per-character** storage slot on an SSU (not the owner’s primary locker). Cargo can land here after delivery — see **[SSU consolidate](/ssu-consolidate-after-delivery)**.               |
| **Pelusium extension**       | **Permission** on an SSU so Pelusium can record **pickup** and **delivery** on-chain for jobs using that unit.                                                                              |
| **Shipper**                  | Who **creates** the job and locks escrow (often the **buyer** or their representative).                                                                                                     |
| **Courier**                  | Who **accepts** the job and completes pickup and delivery on-chain.                                                                                                                         |
| **3D route planner**         | Visual map in Pelusium for exploring systems, building a proposed path, and copying the ordered route before committing to a haul.                                                          |
| **Cargo mass**               | Weight used by the route planner when estimating ship jump performance.                                                                                                                     |
| **Jump radius**              | Maximum distance for a jump in the route planner. It can come from the selected ship profile or from a manual override.                                                                     |
| **Shop**                     | **Storefront directory**: player businesses listing cargo for sale from an SSU.                                                                                                             |
| **Cargo Well**               | **Market board** for one **commodity type** at a time—listed sells and standing buys to help you **price** and **plan** a haul.                                                             |
| **Listing**                  | A **sell line**: quantity, optional **total price in SUI**, notes, tied to a store.                                                                                                         |
| **Buy order / standing bid** | A **buy line**: how much you want and what you’re willing to pay (per unit or “contact me”).                                                                                                |
| **Settlement**               | When the job completes and **escrow pays out** per the on-chain rules (courier, seller if any, protocol).                                                                                   |
| **Discovery**                | **Seeing** prices and counterparties in the app; **settlement** is the **freight job** on-chain.                                                                                            |
| **Speculation pool**         | **Experimental** on-chain pools tied to job outcomes—see [Speculation](/speculation).                                                                                                       |

**Behind the scenes:** the on-chain program uses internal names for jobs and configuration—you don’t need those to play.
