- Artifacts: the forty text logs that carry Dead Space 3's backstoryArtifacts are the forty collectible text logs of Dead Space 3, split across four factions and scattered from the New Horizons Lunar Colony to Tau Volantis. Collecting all of them awards the Flight Suit.
- Phantom Necromorphs: the red eyed grade above EnhancedPhantom Necromorphs were a sub breed of the infection met aboard the USG Ishimura in the 2023 remake of Dead Space, mostly in New Game+, marked by black, red or near purple tissue and glowing red eyes. They fought exactly as their base forms did and endured roughly twice the punishment an Enhanced specimen of the same strain could absorb.
- Split-Face: the compound Necromorph of the Chicxulub facilityThe Split-Face was a compound Necromorph form built from a mass of human torsos, carrying two heads, seven blade-like legs and a yellow and black pustule slung beneath its body. It borrowed the offensive habits of several separate strains at once, and it was killed by Michael Altman during the outbreak that gutted the research facility above the Chicxulub crater.
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star: The Lullaby of the OutbreaksTwinkle Twinkle Little Star was an old Earth lullaby that recurred through the Necromorph outbreaks, sung by dying crew, by Marker maddened believers, and by the hallucinations the Markers built from the dead. Survivors heard it aboard the USG Ishimura and the USG O'Bannon, and it was written into Isaac Clarke's psychiatric records on Titan Station.
- Aliens: The Lost Civilization of Tau VolantisThe Aliens were a semi-aquatic, technologically advanced species native to the ocean world of Tau Volantis. More than two million years ago they discovered a Black Marker, fell to a Necromorph outbreak, and in a final act built a planet-freezing Machine to halt the Brethren Moon they had spawned.
- ANTIANTI, the Artificial Network Transmitting Intelligence, was the holographic artificial intelligence that governed the systems of Titan Station under the Station Director's orders. During the Necromorph outbreak it worked to block Isaac Clarke from the Solar Array until he destroyed its core.
- Brethren MoonsThe Brethren Moons were gigantic, intelligent space-faring Necromorphs and the ultimate source of every Marker signal. Formed by a Convergence Event, they spread Black Markers across the stars to seed new civilizations, harvest them, and birth more of their kind in an endless cycle of extinction.
- ConvergenceConvergence was the final stage of the Marker cycle, an event in which a Marker pulled every corpse and Necromorph into the sky to merge into a new Brethren Moon. It was the true goal behind every Marker, every outbreak, and the doctrine of the Church of Unitology.
- MarkerMarkers were enigmatic double-helix obelisks that broadcast a signal capable of reanimating the dead, driving the living to madness, and seeding their own replication. Their purpose was to spread the Necromorph infection across intelligent civilizations until a Convergence Event could form a Brethren Moon.
- NecromorphNecromorphs were aggressive creatures formed when the Markers' electromagnetic signal reshaped dead tissue into monstrous new forms. Driven to kill the living and gather corpses for Convergence, they were the recurring plague that destroyed the Aegis VII colony, the USG Ishimura, and Titan Station.
- RIGThe RIG, or Resource Integration Gear, was the standard worn equipment of spacefaring workers and soldiers in the 26th century. It sealed its wearer against hostile environments, carried their identity for security access, and linked them to others through the RIGlink communication system.
