Yes, this is true, but I'm not sure how this would affect redeployment of
these forces in the face of incursions. I doubt the Regency admiralty
would permit these forces to be destroyed needlessly trying to defend
their home ports. Faced with defeat at the hands of the *ihatei* (or
other foes) I believe they would withdraw and regroup. Keep in mind
that by TNE many of the `overrun' regions have been recovered and these
fleet units could be redeployed to protect these `gains' once again.

Well, maybe, except that an Aslan-crewed force would need ships and equipment
designed for Aslan. Furthermore, it appears by TNE that the Patrol no
longer exists - it has been `absorbed' by the Quarantine Service.

This also `dilutes' any internal threat.

Interesting.

This would include Tarkine 1434, which conflicts with the *Imp Enc* data
I posted. Good work.

This includes the following worlds in Trin's Veil subsector that I may have
missed when I looked at *IE*:
2537 Dobham
2538 Pyramus
2539 Thisbe
2540 Aramis
2637 Robin
2638 D'Mara
2639 Keltcher

This misses Pysadi 3008 which I cited from the *IE* UWP data. Clearly the
border was quite fluid during these incursions.

Into Gulf (Deneb M), or maybe Pretoria (Deneb A) instead?

This is a great idea, Jeff. (Although are you sure `rice papers' isn't
a little too tongue-in-cheek? :-) Can anyone post a RICE paper?

What with the uncertain timelines and all maybe it would be a good idea
to include a `date' for when the RICE paper was written that ties it to
the source for the basic UWP data?

Jeff's given you (and all of us) the answer. Call it kismet. :-)
