Alliance stations? When did Alliance have those? They ahd all gone to Union at the end of the war during Mazian' s retreat. Alliance was Pell and then...
... FE says differently, and DS doesn't actually spell it out. I'd have to re-read ML and T to check what they say. Mazian's strategy was to destabilize or...
Hello, I've just joined the group. I've read most of the Union-Alliance novels, the Chanur books, bu I couldn't really get into Cherryh's fantasy novels. I've...
... My take on it is that _Tripoint_ takes place after FE. Without digging the book out, I think that the new trade treaty is the treaty that the senior...
"Does the Fleet really have an Earth-like planet?" I can't help but be amused, Cat, though I'm sure you were not trying to be funny, and your enthusiasm is...

Well, she might have mentioned it at a con or something, I dunno :) I'd just finished the book and it was a 'Wow! The Fleet has a _planet_!' reaction. I think...
Yes, I suppose so, although IIRC Viking wasn't one of the stations that Finity's End visited—the itinerary was Mariner, Voyager, Esperance. So then it looks...
... p. 8. "...the remnant of the old Company Fleet _had_ turned to piracy and _still raided_ merchanters, no different than they had ever done, while Alliance...
... I would say that it's more likely Downbelow has been located, as opposed to Mazian's bolthole ;) Secret bases won't STAY secret -- and unvisited by Sollies...
Reviewing the article will reveal that the expected gravity (of course they could be wrong) of the planet in question is near 2 gravities and that the planet...
My sense is that the U/A Cherryh universe did not account for emerging techniques in extrasolar planetary discovery. So, suspend disbelief. ... much ... the ...
... At the risk of opening a "how does the drive work?" debate, I don't recall anything in CJC's work that indicates the drive is anything other than a...
... Not entirely true. I've played around a lot with near Earth stars in 3D. First starting with the data from The Company War board game, then with improving...
... I think there were rumors on the list at one point that Finisterre (the planet in Rider at the Gate) was the Maziani colony. There are arguments that can...
... From TRIPOINT, we know that Union and Alliance had been doing telescope searches for possible Mazianni planets and bases, and hadn't found any of them. So...
But any remote observational efforts came to naught, so it would appear that these methods are less successful in the U/A books than would be expected a decade...
... If a jump point to a habitable solar system 100 light years away was found, then a planet there colonized, it'd be 100 years before any sign of human...
"Remote searches for Mazian would be a bit pointless." Point taken, but I thought we were also discussing using remote observation to locate potentially...
Which is why you don't search for Mazian, but instead search for habitable planets and points of mass large enough to pull ships out of a jump. Then you...
... Well, I think it's a big top secret that Mazian has found a habitable planet. And, in any event, they are going to be looking for those anyway. But, as...

Is that 60 years from the time of Downbelow Station? I can't help but think that FTL travel takes significantly longer "in station time" than it does "in jump...
