Quote: THe book Far Country talks about a civilization that became lost when they mis-jumped, around the time that 'mechs first appeared. By 3025 they had set up a reasonable civilization, even tanks. But they were almost exclusively warriors and support personel, and they lacked the ability to trade or even leave the system, as well as the lack of heavy metals. By the time the second group of people arrived, it was about 600 years later(I could be wrong).
While the idea was novel, due to the talking birds it wasn't a great book. That though was one of the glaring let-downs. Another was that an ECE (External Combustion Engine) even in the 20th century are quite capable of outperforming a 20th century ICE (Internal Combustion Engine that we use in most vehicles on this planet). A third was that talking of the lack of existance of heavy metals but have gold replace iron and other common metals as one of the most common strikes me as rather ironic.
Quote: The Wolverines had space travel, technicians and if a world did not have what they needed, they could get it elsewhere.
This is a point. They spent alot of time scouting out possible places for a new start and I think their criteria was more than one planet clusters so even finding a suitable planet if it was too far away from other suitable planets may have been overlooked and the information on the planet largely ignored by the clans. The tribe though would probably only be looking for 1 really good planet possibly even a already settled planet but one largely forgotten none-the-less.
Quote: Another possibility is that they stumbled upon a former Star Leauge outpost. That does not seem far-fetched to me, as the Tanite worlds near the Pentagon worlds are much further-flung. That would give them a population base to start with, as well as the trappings of civilization.
Unlikely but they would probably know the location of many of the Star League caches in say .... Kurita for example.
