The secret of the Chinese defense of the Hyades Cluster was that it was a defense in depth. First, they kept an eye on every star system within a hundred lightyears of the Hyades. That was mostly passive sensors to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One of the primary reasons people live on Frostydale at all is “because it’s there.” Being totally honest. “Because it’s there” is one of the most common reasons for why someone has gone anywhere on old Earth or in the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
One thing to understand about the Hyades Cluster during The War is that there were no uninhabited systems. It is a common myth amongst most people that there are thousands of systems were nobody goes just within a few hundred[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Frostydale is a debatably-habitable frozen ball of rock nearly four times as far away from Sunnydale as Earth is from the Sun. She’s significantly larger than Earth, but has a much thinner atmosphere at sea level. Those seas are frozen[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Cheyenne Mountain is generally considered to be a quadruple star system. Two giant stars orbit a common center of gravity, and each of them has their own companion star. There are other stars in the area, of course. The Hyades[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The original surveyors designated Sunnydale’s sole asteroid belt with the ironic name of Cobbledale. Most locals call it the Cobbles, and leave it at that. They aren’t very rich with heavy metals, or anything else for that matter, but asteroid[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Hyades Cluster is not native to our region of the galaxy. It has been traveling for eons, from some long ago birthplace where heavy metals were more common. The star population is different, and the very interstellar dust and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The joker who named the planetary bodies of the Sunnydale system was in rare form when he named the three major moons of Torchdale. Char, Sear, and Toast are about as habitable as their names suggest. But after a liberal[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
