As I look at completing Privateer’s Supremacy – Privateer Tales #20, I realize that there is a lot of technical data that is never shared in the books. For an author of a lengthy series, consistency is critical. Planets shouldn’t move around, pet cats shouldn’t randomly appear and disappear (sorry Felix), you get the general idea. The featured image is a flattened view of the Dwingeloo solar systems where our crew is generally located (Mhina is where Elea Station is). I ran into this image and some technical data and thought I’d share it. What follows are some fun facts. And if you’re wondering, Dwingeloo is real, everything else is made up.
Aeratroas is 300 (1000 light-years) parsecs wide, shaped like a watermelon.
