First, static values, which are stored in trek.exe or stbof.res, and loaded into the RAM from there. These values are relatively easy to ahndle, since they do not change, and they can be manipulated by us to see what they're good for.
Second, dynamic values, which are only visible while the game is running. These are harder to keep track of, but some of them are of paramount importance, so when stumbling across them in the assembler code, it would be good to know what they do.
A lot of the dynamic data is just table after table (star systems etc.), but there are some "key" variables relatively close to the beginning of the dynamic data. This topic is to collect as much of them as we can identify, in order to make future assembler analysis easier
All known dynamic key variables should be posted here, and I'll add them to the list

I would like to see 2,000,000 pages viewed and 8000 members in first year 
pages we should make but 500 members in little over 1 month will be tough.
