Welcome to the Sword Worlds Development League, Cynthia!  Thanks a bunch
for some really great stuff on Sacnoth.  We've only got 22 more worlds
to go.

This may be what you've said but I just want to get clear that the *JTAS*
Contact piece says very specifically that this Teutonic heritage is
merely `cultural' and that the Sword Worlds enjoy the full range of
Solomani *ethnic* diversity.

So your work represents the post-5FW era.  Have you brought Sacnoth up
to TNE?  Where do you stand on the capital of the Sword Worlds in TNE?
Does Sacnoth have a chance?  :-)

Is this *TCS* information?  Didn't you say somewhere else (maybe you didn't,
I can't find it now) that Sacnoth's shipyard could only build 5000-ton ships?
If so, where do the larger ships mentioned above get built?

Some great work.  And once again, welcome to the `club'.  :-)

Happy Travelling,
