Hi guys,
After a long absence in these parts I've decided to dust off my Slammer's 15mm and start playing again.
Before I had to stop because of work and my band I had started to compile a list of planets in the novels.
It's pretty advanced but not finished, I'm in the process of adding the missing ones and the ones from the other Slammerverse novels (Cross the stars and Voyage) as well as those in the Slammers RPG from Mongoose Pub.
All right, the list is composed of the name of the planet, then separated by commas every info on the planet that I could gleam or infer from the novels.
When an information is follow by a question mark it means it's an inference/assumption on my part.
The items are:
climate: The prevailing climate of the planet or at least the area/time in which the novel is taking place.
ressource: The main exports/ressources of that planet, which will often be the source of conflict on that planet. When it's "high/industrial" it means an advanced planet that doesn't have a ressource that can be singled out, for example New Friesland.
origin: The main ethnic origin/origins of the colonist of that planet.
campaign: The Slammers campaign on that planet, with the opponents separated by "vs.", the first one always being the oponent the Slammers are fighting for, when an oponent is followed by another name in parentheses, it's a merc company they hired, for example "Government vs. Densonites (Foster's)" for Thrush ("The Butcher's Bill")
period: The place in the Slammers timeline of the novel, expressed in relation to the other novels (before X, after Y) with the clues that lead to that placing.
referenced in: The novel where that particular planet is referenced in.
places of interest: Towns or battle sites referenced in the novel.
All right, there goes the list, I'll add to it as soon as I can:
Terra and the Sol system.
