Issues

I received this message on one of the forums:

According to Wolf Pack pp. 128, Bristol is not on the I.S. maps and it was the hiding place for the Wolf Dragoons' supply cache. This causes serious problems since all of your sources show it as being on the I.S. maps.

This also means that the entry on MacKenzie Wolf needs updated to show that he was killed in the Bristol system.

Can anyone confirm this and correct the page? Thanks. -BobTheZombie (talk) 13:30, 11 January 2015 (PST)

The Bristol system described in Wolf Pack is an uninhabited system in the Periphery, in which the Wolf's Dragoons cached a lot of equipment before entering the Inner Sphere. The Bristol system described in this article is a different system - a fairly routine Inner Sphere system. Your correspondent seems to think the two systems are the same, which they aren't. It's far from the first time we've ended up with two locations with the same name - look at Albion, York, Victoria, Alexandria, etc. If you look at the articles on the Wolf Dragoons WarShips like the Nelson they highlight that the cache was in the Periphery. We don't have an article specifically on here about the Bristol cache, though. I'm not sure if there's enough information to write a system article - ClanWolverine101 is probably the person to ask, as he spends most of his editing time producing Wolf's Dragoons related articles.

That's interesting. Okay, I'll pass along the message. Thanks for answering! -BobTheZombie (talk) 10:57, 17 January 2015 (PST)
