[[Xenobiology]] (sometimes referred to as ''astrobiology'') is the study of biology of foreign life forms. The [[Anglic]] prefix ''xeno-'' means "foreign", so the term refers to the biological science of life forms not native to the world of the scientist.  
+
[[Exobiology]] (...also called [[astrobiology]] or [[xenobiology]]) is the study of non-Terran [[lifeform]]s.  
 
+
* Any nonhuman sophont species and the other lifeforms that share their [[homeworld]]s
Within the [[Third Imperium]] the term refers to ''Comparative Xenobiology'', comparing how lifeforms evolved and exist in different environments, parallel evolution, and how life evolved in different worlds interact when placed in the same biosphere.  
+
* Also includes all other lifeforms from [[environment]]s that did not yet produce [[sophont]]s
 
+
* The study of Terran lifeforms is known as Terro-biology (...the study of [[Terragen]]s) or often simply biology although that term also applies to all life.
There is a related term of ''Exobiology'', where the prefix ''Exo-'' means outer or external. In some cases this becomes a synonym for Xenobiology, but in modern use ''Exobiology'' refers to the study of things outside of normal biology including [[Unconventional Life]] and [[Exotic Life]].
