G'day,

> So whens the book out. :]

When my writing ability improves by orders of magnitude - so likely
never ;)

> Stupid question but where did you get the place names for Mars from.

I started with the NASA Atlas map of Mars and then for smaller features
(e.g. cities or regions) I used a Markov chain to say which of the
GZG/Earth nations had influenced its settlement so we created a map
(particularly of the region of the conflict). There were also moments of
whimsy (trying to reflect the dumb/silly names people have called things
on Earth) - for instance there is a Minas Tirith and a Minas Morgul....
All of that used to be on line, but then our service provider got silly
about charge rates for space so its VERY SLOWLY being migrated to google
(one day we will get a server of our own, but I wouldn't hold your
breath).

Tuffeyverse.

Nyrath's maps are up on Jerry's site (the galactica link on the post
earlier today) and we use those a lot for stuff beyond the Sol system.

Cheers

Beth
