It would take a phenomenally advanced technology to create that; but then, as we've all suddenly been granted superhuman powers, quantum hyperfield theory is the least of our problems.

2002 -, Peter F. Hamilton -, Misspent Youth:

The hyperfield itself could not be moved and remained there on the lava field suspended in the suds of the continuum at the exact point where the arc had entered the inertial frame of the Earth.

(science fiction) cloaking device, stealth device


microplanetoid

I mean, the Fomalhauters weren't having enough problems with the repairs to their exhaust duct—their StarGrazer'd taken a hit from a rogue microplanetoid—then this earthbound yo-yo tries to put a goddam drift netter up their tailpipe.

1998, Dana Stabenow, Killing Grounds, →ISBN, page 104:

The loose group of rocks, sand, random molecules, and microplanetoids known as the Hallelujah node was traveling in company around the Sun at a speed of eleven miles per second.

2009, Robert A. Heinlein, The Rolling Stones, →ISBN:

Around three hundred meters long and a little less than half as wide, the new shape was much smaller than the microplanetoid configuration.

2015, John Steiner, Flipspace:Astraeus Event, Missions 10-12, →ISBN, page 81:

(science fiction) An astronomical body smaller than a planetoid, such as an asteroid or planetesimal.


underbreed

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-underbreed.wav

Leaf felt degraded by that — hiring on, in effect, as an indentured underbreed — but what choice was there for him?

1973, Terry Carr, Richard A. Lupoff, Robert Silverberg, No Mind of Man: Three Original Novellas of Science Fiction, page 122:

I had an idea who it was but called the command post and demanded the names of the underbreeds who had last piloted the jet

1995, Alan Cockrell, Tail of the Storm: Flying Missions in the First Gulf War, →ISBN, page 49:

Hi is thinking about those strange advertisements they read in the tabloid to titillate themselves, and the present in which he exists seems suddenly like some weird science fiction movie of the future in which the world is organized in a strange manner with certain people as an underbreed in which they are manipulated by economics to sell their bodies to others who live in another sphere where the repression of their carnality is required as an imagined requisite for social order.

2013, Thomas E. Kennedy, Kerrigan in Copenhagen, →ISBN, page 119:

(chiefly science fiction) An inferior or subservient breed of people or sentient beings.


underperson

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-underperson.wav

For I felt sure these underpeople had taken it.

1895, Herbert George Wells, The Time Machine, page 118:

Life is no longer the long, easy ride the true men are accustomed to, and although life is not exactly fraught with peril, the true men learn of vulnerability and danger, things that the underpeople have long lived with.

2001, Karen L. Hellekson, The Science Fiction of Cordwainer Smith, →ISBN, page 69:

The Administrator sent me here on a crazy errand, killing an unknown underperson. I find out that the person is really a little girl. Then I find out that she is not an underperson, but a frightening old dead woman, still walking around alive.

2012, Gardner Dozois, A Day in the Life, →ISBN:

These underpeople were even less human than the androids, their very appearance making obvious their animal origins.

2015, A. Bertram Chandler, The Inheritors, →ISBN:

(science fiction) A member of a subhuman sentient species.
