Significant dates are still needed for the following:
Declaration of the Regency
The `Rape of Trin' (Gram?)
Death of Norris(?)
Openings to the Zhodani(?)
Others?
SUBSECTOR MAPS AND UWP DATA
I would suggest a typical subsector on each of the Regency frontiers: the
Zhodani frontier (Jewell), the Vargr frontier (Regina, Aramis, or Pretoria),
the Virus frontier (Lamas, Dunmag or Usani) and the Aslan *ihatei* frontier
(Tobia, Gazulin, Pax Rulin or Glisten). The capital subsector, Mora, would
be representative of the Regency 'core'. Maybe a subsector in the Deneb Wilds?
Let's follow the *Path of Tears* format with Imperial Era (IE) and Post-
Imperial Era (PIE) UWP stats.
MAJOR WORLDS OF THE REGENCY
Major worlds ought to be Mora/Mora, Deneb/Usani, Gazulin/Gazulin,
Regina/Regina, Rhylanor/Rhylanor, Glisten/Glisten, Lintl/Vestus,
Pretoria/Pretoria, Magash/Sabine, Vincennes/Vincennes and Lunion/Lunion.
Any other candidates?
REGENCY LANGUAGE
Anyone care to offer a few examples of Riftian jargon after 70 years of
divergence from Galanglic?
REGENCY MEGACORPS
Delgado Trading (miniturization, heavy mining & refining, publishing and
trading)
- -A key player in the war against the Virus.
General Products (starships, non-starships, heavy machinery)
- -Quality problems were threatening existence by Rebellion. Domain/Regency
susbsidies would be likely in order to maintain a major shipbuilder (cf.
the Chrysler bailout).
GSbAG (starships)
- -Probably doing well equipping the Quarantine Service and the Deneb Navy.
Hortalez et Cie (banking and investment)
- -With addition of Zirunkariish assets most likely dominates Domain.
Instellarms (military products)
- -Probably doing well, although mercenary actions can be expected to be
limited in Deneb by government efforts to conserve resources. Can be
expected to favor the Expansionists and Santanocheevists.
Ling Standard Products (mining, electronics and computers, starships,
starship systems, power generation, small arms)
- -Probably the primary commercial and military contractor combating the Virus.
SuSAG (chemicals, pharmaceuticals, geneering, extra-Imperial psi drugs)
- -Will the illegal psi drug manufacturing move into the Regency? Obviously,
SuSAG will support the Tolerant bloc, if not openly then certainly with
financial backing.
Sternmetal Horizons (mining, manufacturing, power generation, food processors)
- -Probably doing well.
Tukera Lines (shipping)
- -Probably still active and possibly a supporter of the Imperialist bloc.
Vilani Bureaux (probably not active in Deneb after the Collapse):
Makhidkarun
Sharurshid
Naasirka (assets acquired by LSP?)
Zirunkariish (assets acquired by Hortalez)
End of Part I
Parts II (~16K), III (~13K) and IV (~26K) are quite large. I'll hold off
posting them for a few days to give anyone who'd rather not see them a chance
to object. Maybe someone who knows how would be willing to post them to an
ftp site. Let me know by direct e-mail and I'll mail them to you.
Happy Travelling,
