Based upon the location of The Rack when maps from [[Handbook: Major Periphery States]] and [[Handbook: House Steiner]] are overlaid at the same scale, The Rack may be the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] system known as [[Port Vail]]. A question has been asked on the CGL forums to attempt to obtain confirmation for this.

It was confirmed that Port Vail and The Rack were one and the same by the [http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,9040.0.html Catalyst Game Labs writing staff.]
