*Crumples Up Outline*

RAGE: Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage, Black and murderous, that cost the Greeks Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls Of heroes into Hades' dark, And left their bodies to rot as feasts For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was done.

The Anglic was 'Albireo'.

It's obviously space hippies.

I also have thought too much about this and I agree nothing seems to really fit the description. The one illustration that comes closest (from Travellers' Digest 17) also seems the weirdest: I don't know if it's the hand configuration itself or if the perspective of the arm is off, but it...

Khaukheairl, pg. 116: Clan Status should be "F (2nd)", not "A (2nd)".

No, coffee table book structured like a Terran Trade Authority book, as an in-universe artifact with essays and library data entries illustrating Charted Space. Zero rules, like Starship Operator's Guide.

The Tlaukhu Power Blocs, Sixth bloc, Pg. 60: The correct spelling of the Aslan name for Iphigenaia sector is Kyatulyare’, not Kyatvlyare’. The Tlaukhu Power Blocs, at both Sixth and Tenth blocs in the table, Pg. 60; Cisrift, Pg. 154: The correct spelling of the Aslan name for Verge sector is...

Holdings, pg. 69: Change "All Single World clans have Holdings 5, while all Tlaukhu clans have at least Holdings 10." to All Single World clans have Holdings 5, while all Tlaukhu clans have at least Holdings 8.

Tlelis, pg. 184: This is the Aslan name for Danvers subsector in Dark Nebula, not Reaver’s Deep.

As I wrote it up, the three Aslan Client States are more like "mini Hierates" than true centralized interstellar governments. Like the Hierate, the states are also confederations of different clans united by shared values and history. Because the Client States were isolated from the Hierate for...

The power dynamic between patron and client can vary widely. In some cases, a client state is essentially an adjunct of the patron or a vassal state. In other cases, they share a free trade agreement and that's it. In yet others, it might be trade plus a mutual defense agreement. In the case of...

Also, a Oh, I don't know that they are not Hiver or K'kree client states. Like the "Aslan Client States" the label is ambiguous. It could mean "Hiver worlds that are client states of the Imperium" (seems unlikely) or "human worlds that are client states of the one of the three great powers." I...

You're right that the average male Aslan might not understand a client state, but a female Aslan almost certainly would get the importance of using "soft power projection" alongside "hard power projection". I think there are several worlds inside the Buffer that could probably be called Aslan...

They are client states of the Third Imperium. Client states do not necessarily need to be limited to one world. Going back to old CT map of the Imperium, three big blobs rimward of the Hierate are labeled "Aslan Client States." Several small blobs spinward of the Marches and rimward of the...
