Gee, thanks Anthony! I was quite happy being a lurker until you went and
dragged me into the limelight :) ...
FYI, the work I did on Antares (must have been three or four years ago
now <sigh>) was based around the Antares Ring Confederation, a high-tech
Solomani/Vargr autonomous enclave in Sarar subsector (Antares F). OK, so
these guys were political enemies of the League of Antares, the Julians,
and just about anyone else you care to mention, but that was no reason to
turn them into the archetypical bad guys portrayed in James Malisewski's
Challenge articles <snff, snff>...:)
If you're interested in seeing any of the ARC articles, the best person
to contact is Clayton Bush of HIWG (as my copies of the Antares archives
are about 100 miles away at the moment). Clay's address is:-
