This all started when Sy threw me out of the tent one night, claiming he absolutely had to get some privacy and some peace and quiet. So, what to do? I walked to and fro with Charp (and how I miss the little slithering pup now!), and began staring up at the stars. Man, you can't count those little diamonds!
I knew the names of a few, and knew which ones are inhabited, more or less, but I realised I was pretty ignorant. Just another ordinary nomad who gets pushed around by his elder brother. So I started this catalog. And last week when I was hopping over to Elmara again in the Stonebird, I heard a good bit of radio traffic between E-One and some seven-space freighters. I even plucked up my courage and asked a few questions of the starfolk I met. Here's most of what I learned.

Can't find a photo of this place anywhere. That's odd.

| Nychame's star system is like a mad game of billiards! |
Dyrendore

| Imagine living in this steel can. Still, three million humans and aliens can't all be wrong, can they? |
Uvantikrove

| They say you can't see the stars at night on Uvantikrove for all the city lights. Sad. |
