Ah, hah! Now I'm getting a vision of that old ST-TOS episode where there was a city floating in the sky where the affluent elite lived while the workers (trogs) labored in the mines on the surface. If the city was on a different planet then it would all fit into the TU just fine & explain how a low-pop hi-tech rating could appear for a system that required a lot more people.... p.s. So that's why Rorise in the 'Marches purchased that surplus buffered planetoid warship from the IN. It would keep the 'peons' on the other (secondary) planet in line! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Mon, 1/9/17, tmr0195@comcast.net <tmr0195@comcast.net> wrote: Subject: Re: [TML] The Lunion Project, resend To: "TML" <xxxxxx@simplelists.com> Date: Monday, January 9, 2017, 1:42 PM Hello Phil Pugliese, >Since I came into Trav some years before MT, I've always figured that POP was for the entire system as CT >didn't break things down at that time.

At the time it seemed to me that the main thrust was towards eliminating all the TL16 worlds that had cropped up over the years. However, I suppose it could've also encompassed other 'corrections'. (Remember when Regina in the 'Marches suddenly gained 2-3 TL's? And that was some 20+ years ago.) Since I came into Trav some years before MT, I've always figured that POP was for the entire system as CT didn't break things down at that time. But starting from the very beginning there always were 'weird' systems that made me think, "Huh, wonder how that system came to be that way?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Sun, 1/8/17, Kenneth Barns <xxxxxx@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [TML] The Lunion Project, resend To: xxxxxx@simplelists.com Date: Sunday, January 8, 2017, 11:51 PM Always with the Ancients! :) Personally, I think an IISS review of which is the "main world" would be a better bet as a canon explanation. I was just wondering whether anyone was aware of who made the decision to re-do the UWP and why. CT, MT, TNE, and GT all used the LoPop UWP. I don't have MongT on hand to check their UWP. --Cheers!
