Location of the Training House

Sunday, December 4, 2011 8:15 PM

So I've been looking into this.

What we know from the comic book and movie is that the training house is on a moon (not a world or a planet) that's lush and well vegetated, and there's little work available there for the crew.

Basically, if someone is going to be able to receive a wave and have a conversation to any degree, they have to be in the same system. This is also shown in the pilot episode, when they have to be "in range" to contact Patience on Whitefall.

Based on this, Inara is probably in the Blue Sun system as well.

Burnet (Meridian)
Shepherd's Mission (Muir)
Perth (Highgate. I like this one because there's a story called "The Fair Maid of Perth" which is somewhat topical for Inara)
Glynis (Dragons Egg)
Nakula (Dragons Egg)


However, she might be in Georgia because it's on the way between Kalidasa and Blue Sun and due to the crew's proximity to Sturges when she left in Those Left Behind.

Conrad (resort ocean and island moon around Three Hills)
Splendor (Population 50,000,000 around New Hope)
Moons of Elphame (Summerhome, Fiddler's Green, Ithendra, Sweethome)
Ithaca or Priam (for the Illiad reference)


And she mentions in Objects in Space that she might disembark on New Melbourne, as a jumping off point to other worlds in the Red Sun system. It doesn't really fit with the movie, but some options there are:

Maria and Destiny (moons around New Melbourne)
Dyton, Agyar (or Greenleaf itself, but it's not a moon)
Clawthorne (moon of Paquin, the Rim's answer to Sihnonese culture and theatre)
