• I have data for manufacturing centers, including what planet they're on and what components they product (mechs, equipment, etc). Should I update the planets to list what components they produce, manufacturing centers on planet, and also create articles for each manufacturing center? It'll be quite a big update, but it's some cool data. Nicjansma 12:25, 30 September 2006 (CDT)
  • I can't see any reason NOT too. That would be awesome Objective Raid material. --Revanche 14:22, 30 September 2006 (CDT)

Major Problem with Coords

Hey folks. Has anyone else noticed that the coordinates are completely incorrect? The X and Y are always the same and there are maybe 5-10 planets for which that is true (if not just the one - Terra). I know they were all auto-generated, but it seems like they were generated incorrectly. I was checking some things would with Scaletail's edits changing references from Blue Diamond to Menkent, but noticed that the coordinates were way off. So, beyond the fact that they're all incorrect, without going through all 3k planets in the IS, how do we fix this? :) Bdevoe 14:00, 18 August 2007 (CDT)

Apparently Nic has all of the original data that was used to auto-generate the planets, so if that could be modified and re-uploaded, it would be fixed, but (as far as I can tell) that would negate all of the edits that have been made previously. Scaletail 16:02, 18 August 2007 (CDT)

Dang! You guys are right. Let me see how I can regenerate all of the pages w/out blowing away what others have contributed to the planets. I should be able to do it. Nicjansma 10:39, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

That would be awesome. :) Thanks! Bdevoe 14:56, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

Lost Planets

How do we treat "Lost Planets", i.e. those that are mentioned somewhere but do not show up on the starmaps? Off the top of my head, examples of lost planets include:

• Dorwinion, the alledged original manufacturing site of the Dervish in Davion space (may have been rectonned to actually be a region on Belladonna where the firm Cal-Boeing of Dorwinion is located)
• Ilion V, where Hansen's Roughriders fought against loyal Marik forces during their breakaway
• Lincoln, where WHs Imarra and LuSann defeated a Davion force in 3001
• Pacifica, a Steiner planet where the story of the "Crescent Hawks Inception" takes place (turns out Chara is named "Pacifica" in the German Atlas so that one is probably solved; I think the world of Chara III is called Pacifica)
• Remis III, site of a Davion/Lindon's Company battle against Wolf's Dragoons/Black Widow Company from the original BT rulebook
• Tsanna, planet on the Davion/Liao border where WH Ijori mauled Davion forces in 3003 and which is also mentioned in the Sword and Dagger novel

I am sure there are other examples...

Further, there are references to planets that are explicitly stated to be unknown. Examples include:

• Alpha Hydri ("a desolate wasteland discovered a year before", i.e. in 3014) to where Precentor Vesar Kristofur was exiled by ComStar after Anton Marik's failed revolt that he had helped to engineer.
• Trisha (eight jumps into the periphery, presumably from the Lyran Commonwealth), where the ComGuards fought the final battle against pirate forces at the conclusion of the Jolly Roger Affair

From what I can gather, most of these were planets that were created for certain stories, then not canonized as planets in the atlas. Because of this situation, TPTB have had to retcon some of the information, as with Dorwinion and Pacifica above. Tsanna is probably Tsamma. For the others, sources might help. --Scaletail 20:34, 19 January 2008 (CST)
