*Shrug* I was just going from my fuzzy memories of my RPG manual (my reference book in lieu of a visual companion... for now) and on the Alliance Database extra feature on the Serenity DVD. I couldn't remember exactly, so I went back to check. Might be a different planet or a moon, but Regina is the only one I read that specifically refers to Bowden's.

But I do agree that the training house is not on a core world. Whether it's border or rim, less certain.

I'm one of those annoying people that don't consider something to be canon if it's not written by Joss and Co. I don't object to anyone using the RPG manual as a reference at all, but I don't think it's unchangeable by another fanfic writer, either.

Ah. I guess that's understandable. It does only say "based on the motion picture screenplay by Joss Whedon" not "Actually bona fide written by the Joss Boss."

I would be willing to go with the bonus material on a bluray over an RPG, tho.
In TTJ, Hancock and Paradiso were the towns mentioned (train traveling from on to the other). Niska's Skyplew was orbiting Ezra and some have assumed that the 2 towns were on Ezra. According to the Map Of The verse, Ezra is the first planet around Georgia, and Regina is the second. Ezra's moon is Herschel. not sure which of these the train was supposed to be on.

Have'nt heard of that Regina reference - is it on the bluray thing? can you confirm?

There is a flaw in everyone's approach to this question. The last conversation we see with Inara takes place right after the repairs to the ship, remember, so they were on Beaumonde when Mal has his last conversation with the operative, talks with Zoe, and then tells Inara that they can drop her off. So... Bottom line? The training house is on a planet or moon "about 10 hours time" from Beaumonde.

Knock yourselves out lol.

I found Regina on the fireflywiki, but I couldn't find their source, so I'm unsure as to whether it's from the companion (which I would regard as Canon) or the RPG (which I probably wouldn't)

Trainging House may be 10 hours from The Repair Yard, but is also "couple hours" away from Haven, and also "couple Hours" to get to Haven. Not sure where Beaumonde comes into this schedule?

Are we saying the repair yard was on Beaumonde?

I have the Serenity Companion and both
Volumes of Firefly Companions, have not found any reference to Paradiso or Hancock being on Regina.

I've been looking for that place for years.

The White Paper for the Map of the Verse came out in Feb.
It specifies Mr Universe's location as Comm Ring 2 Station 2e.
The orbital distances are also specified, narrowing the Training House location down to Deadwood or one of it's moons, Haven or New Omaha.
