Notes[edit]
- Köningsberg is named after the historical Hanseatic League city of Königsberg, also known as "Koningsbergen" and "Kaliningrad." The system was spelled Königsberg in Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade. It has been confirmed[6] by author and BattleTech cartographer Øystein Tvedten that "Köningsberg" is the correct canonical spelling; it is Low German, which was the real Hanse's lingua franca.
