The Deep and the Dark: errata

Thanks again -- I was rounding down tonnage for the drives and cargo. When I don't, my numbers line up with yours.
IMO, there is nothing wrong with the numbers being off by 10% to 15%. I just figure it is variations of model, maker and year. The rules mention that the designs can vary. If I am making a personal ship, I do use the rules as given though.
 
  • Page 174, 'Daken', 1st paragraph: "This colony life spreads over large areas of Daken’s erg deserts, utilising a chemosynthetic process for energy." - ... what's an 'erg desert'?
Erg deserts are the sort that people classically think of when you talk about desert landscapes: vast areas covered with sand dunes. There are lots of different types of deserts but these are ones like the Great Eastern Erg in the Sahara or the Empty Quarter in Saudi.
 
Hlewela, page 119 - clan should be listed as "Multiworld" instead of "Extirpated," with capital at Akhya (Staihaia'yo 2323, A437A58-E).

For some reason I thought Gareth Hanrahan's The Span of the Stars was set in an earlier time period, but it's pretty clear it takes place in the Reach in or around 1105, and the protagonist is an ihatei of the Hlewela clan, which is said to control worlds in the Hierate proper as opposed to the Trans-rift colonies. Short but highly recommended.
