A few of the worlds from the Serenity Visual Companion....what do we know about them?

Liann Juin
Highgate
Harvest
Regina
Whittier
Kerry
Salisbury
Three Hills
Deadwood
Muir

Obviously we've gotten next to nothing "officially" regarding these places, but I was wondering if any fan-fic type things had established anything about them, and if there was any effort to coordinate such things if so.

I'm including them all in Escape Velocity: Firefly (still not dead, despite the long vacations I've taken from it!), and I need to write a paragraph or two for each. Something interesting, maybe even something that a brief storyline could be spun out of eventually.

Last time I posted a thread asking for planet descriptions on this project----years ago----I got a very good response. Some of the more interesting elements from those descriptions (such as the secretive group called the Jade Jaguars) ended up getting sizable roles in the story-so-far. There's still more to be done, but I'm wrapping up the tail end of the project at this point....hope to get it out this decade, anyway! :) (Part 1 at least. Who even knows about Part 2....)

There is some information in the Official Map of the Verse and the White Paper put out by QMx. These would show the placement of the planets in the Verse and some details of mass, orbit, etc.

I know that Harvest is called the 'Bread Basket of the Verse."

It's a shame I've already designed my universe, that would have been useful.

I just need planet descriptions for the above. Unfortunately there's no way I'm going to be making any more major changes to the layout. I'm using the 1 big, 4 medium, 3 small star layout seen in some drawings.

I was under the impression The Train Job occurred on Georgia.

Georgia is a system, as far as I know. Regina is in it.

Muir is a moon off of Dyton, and Badger's actual homeworld. (Can't remember where I read that, but it was somewhere 'official'.)

In the absence of anything definite, go with what the names suggest to you. Deadwood always sounded like Jayne's homeworld to me, so I wrote it that way. Looking at the pictures in the Serenity OVC, you can get a good idea of which worlds might have a decent climate, and which ones are scary little rocks.

edit: Holy Cr*P. I just read that maths guys take on the 'Verse.

I found an error in the Verse in Numbers FAQ. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, the Serenity Blue Ray Disk special features says that Persephone, Hera, and Shadow were the three major Independence supporting planets.

Ha, one of the moons around Three Hills is called "Bob." Titan A.E. reference?

re: Three Hills- it's not cannonical, but I recently asked about Kaylee's origin. According to the replies, the consensus on another fan board is that Three Hills is the town/moon/planet that Kaylee came from, where the scenes with Bester from OOG were set. Place also had a Chinese name that I forget.
