Summary
We learn that there are about 500 planets in the
Federation. (p. 1)
The events in Uller Uprising must have occurred shortly before 526, AE. (p. 28) One of the Terra-Baldur-Marduk lines is named for Konkrook, the Kragan capital on Uller. (p. 210)
While Fuzzy Sapiens tells us that Gimli is the closest inhabited planet to Zarathustra and that Marduk is the closest major planet, we learn that the first regular stop on the way to Terra is Volund. (p. 210). Four-Day Planet told us that Gimli was the next planet toward Odin from Fenris and that Volund was between Fenris and Terra.
Other planets mentioned include Ishtar, Xipototec, Ithavoll, and Lugaluru. (pp. 210 & 214)
Competitors of Terra-Baldur-Marduk Spacelines include Pan-Federation (Spacelines?) and Terra-Odin (Spacelines?). (p. 213)
