Purity of Union polity reference?
- Thread starter maksimsmelchak
- Start date
I know of all the resources here:
http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Purity_Union
I am especially trying to track down which four worlds formed the Purity of Union.
I have only found two worlds so far:
* Purgatory (RD 2239) (world)
* Purity (world)
Thank you for any help.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

The four number came from the "Into the Deep" fanzine.
This site: http://candlesagainstthenight.net/rd/ro.html
...also seems to indicate more than two.
I have not checked Zho Berka yet.
Thanks for your input.

Hi Don,
I've noticed that T5SS misses out on many polities that must be semi- or quasi- or even non-canon, but it still lists their O:xxxx and C:xxxx relationships. I use the C:xxxx entry to indicates colonies, which someone else must have done before. I have updated the Traveller Wiki with this information for future T5SS reviews and general use.
This page records many of the observations I've made including notes after the standard stellar entry: http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Reaver's_Deep_Sector/layout_data
I've noted the following polities and potential omissions:
* http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Gralyn_Union
* http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Hoa_(world) ) [T5SS mistakenly reads home of "Hoa"]
* http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Khan_World_League
* http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Kolan_Hegemony
* http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Purity_Union
* http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Tlyetrai_Assembly
Thanks.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

How many of these are Classic Era polities? The Gralyn Union certainly isn't. It is formed not many years before 1201. (If the T5 list lists Botany Bay as owned by Gralyn in 1105, it's a mistake).

Hans,
I don't have all of the answers yet. I'd be very happy to benefit from your research. I am still performing my own and don't have your breadth of knowledge.
Thanks.

In this case my breadth of knowledge only extends to one of the cases you bring up, the Gralyn Union. If I had known the answer for any of the others, I would have said so. I merely point out the possibility that some of these other polities do not exist in 1105.

This is one of the toughest parts about editing the wiki -- lots of the legacy data was flat-out non-canonical and/or from the TNE milieu, but aren't clearly flagged as either. And many of the external references that might have cleared up these questions are long vanished from the web. RIP, Geocities.
It takes a lot of sleuthing to verify, but I've found it helpful to assume that everything on the wiki that isn't clearly sourced and delineated into "canon" and "non-canon" is non-canonical. It might even be helpful to establish templates for passages that are under review.

Thanks, Garnfellow. Appreciate your input. You are, of course, right.
Still, I've made a lot of progress. And I'm having a good time doing it.
So, a-sleuthing I will go...

T5SS doesn't (or shouldn't) use C:xxxx yet. O: is the only relationship we're defining at the moment.
And the T5SS wiped out many polities on purpose. Many two- or three-world polities fell to 6'ing the lesser world(s).
And many of the polities on your list aren't 1105 polities, and since the only source of the minor on Hoa is not canon, I've changed T5SS to show (minor).
I get that, Don (...and even agree with it), but I have the heart of a Bwap and want to record it all in its entirety... LOL ;-)
Such heartache the record keepers and librarians of the Third Empire must feel with all of its exceptions, secrets, and laziness in proper record-keeping...
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
The Bwaps have to have something to do when they're not making a PCs life miserable with bureaucracy.
Amen, Brutha!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
I think the current templates all include a Metadata section that could be used to provide this kind of explanation.
Cheers,
