Carr's chronology in *Empire* places the native uprising on Uller in 377,
A.E., and the bankruptcy of the chartered Fenris Company in 390, A.E.  And
yet, we've seen that von Schlichten explains to Quinton in *Uller
Uprising* that the Terran Federation response to the uprising on Uller
will be "worse than Fenris" which we assume means the disaster preceding
the evacuation of the survivors of the Fenris Company.  This suggests that
Carr has his dates incorrect, as *Uller Uprising* must have taken place
*after* the collapse of the Fenris Company for von Schlichten to make this
observation, most likely in the early Fifth Century, A.E., nearly thirty
years later than Carr's date.

We also learn in *Four-Day Planet* that Fenris was settled "back at the
end of the Fourth Century, A.E." and that the Fenris Company went bankrupt
ten years after that.  We also learn that the town-council government of
Port Sandor on Fenris had been around for fifty years by the time of
*Four-Day Planet* which would put it at *least* in the mid-Fifth Century,
A.E.

But there's another interesting piece of information.  They're growing
Zarathustran veldbeest in the carniculture vats on Fenris.  *Little
Fuzzy* takes place in 654, A.E., (as we learn from the trial) and tells us
that Zarathustra was settled 25 years earlier (i.e. 629, A.E., which
agrees with Carr's chronology entry).  This means that *Four-Day Planet*
must take place sometime *after* 629, A.E.  In other worlds, more than
*two hundred* years after Fenris was originally settled. . . .
