Bernadette - is the administrative centre for emigration. The terraforming didn't quite work as well as it could on this asteroid - all the living is under domes. Outside is rock and scree, and thin cold air ripped by sleety wind.

Inside the domes, it is the Core dream. Wide walkways through manicured parks. Neat little restaurants and boutiques (nothing so common as a mere shop) Everything is quiet and peaceful and clean and ordered, from waking up in your neat little apartment, to the neat order of the quiet, clean mag-train through the communal spaces to the clean, orderly cubicle where you work.

It's so dull, you could gnaw your leg off with boredom.

Even the emigration is orderly, waiting in the great drafty halls, or the tidy barracks, to go through the gate to new worlds. Of course, there is no credence given to the idea of Reavers, nasty myth propogated by the rebels, because the Alliance would never send its people out into danger, or allow them to be used as indentured labour, or sent to worlds with dodgy terraforming...

(My OC lived on Bernadette for a while, processing supply dockets. She still has the odd nightmare about being back in a cubicle hell.)

Do you have any idea were some Scottish decendants might be?

(Thanks in advance, I love your stuff)

The Scots get everywhere! Like many other cultural groups that have apparently been assimilated into the mainstream, they still survive. On Londinium, there are enclaves of folk who maintain old family traditions. The area known as Albion has a large number of what would once have been English and Scots-Irish folk.

Further afield, they can be found on any rugged planet, mining, engineering or farming. On worlds like Harvest, you are as likely to come across a MacDonald or a McTavish as you are a Li or a Chang.

(Oddly enough, the world of Aberdeen is rather more multi-cultural, and if anything, rather more Sihnese than otherwise - named after the harbour in HongKong, this is where the big shipping lines are based.)

And more directly what can be said of the surrounding worlds??, have yet to locate it.
Asteroids can be like that.

I always thought it would be located in the motherlode asteroid belt

A waystation for ships heading out, the original asteroid is lost somewhere beneath gantries, cranes, huge cisterns and pipework you could fly a small shuttle through. Some of them run through the rock. If there was ever any water on the surface, it has long since been turned to steam, which jets out like the breath of hell. There is very little of anything natural left here; even the noises are industrial, steam hammers, thrumming pipes under pressure, the air all hot carbon. However, the sunsets are fabulous.

That's an amazing write up. Thanks for putting my creating in such a good light.

Piratecat: NICE advert. I would like a sip of liquid sunshine, except I think it would fry my brains. Or some such thing. "It'll blow your mind..."
Hmmm...:D

"I think we lost our fuzzy dice back there."
"Going for a ride."

Awesome thread, we need some fleshing out of those rocks in space. Hopefully saintful rocks...(ok, ok, "canonized"..."canon"...eh, lame I know...)

The White Paper was released last month. It notes that Bernadette has the home office of the Alliance Colony & Settlement Authority.
I think the Map of the Verse has mention of things for Londinium and Sihnon, I'll take another look.

Map of the Verse lists a few things.
Capitals of the Core (White Sun) are Londinium and Sihnon. Capitals of Georgia System are Athens and Hera. Red Sun is Jiangyin. Kalidasa is Beaumonde. Blue Sun is Meridian.
