Dear All,

Without looking it up, Regina is in orbit at around 70 diameters
around Assiniboia, which is a large gas giant probably in orbit 4, so
around 225 million km from the main pair.

The Main star Lusor (from memory) is a fairly hot F class, perhaps F3
with a DM companion. Dark Darrida is an M7V brown dwarf and orbits at
around 5000 AU from Lusor.

Unfortunately, my book 6 scouts is missing in action for a few years!
So I have to go from memory…correct me if I am wrong.

You pretty much figure that in and the sectors that surround the
Spinward Marches you'd have more examples than 1 per sector.  Ditto
the Solomani Rim and sectors where humans/Vargr were transplanted
(Vland, Zhodane, Provence, etc.).

FYI: I'm not actually disagreeing with the idea that there is
something a bit broken about the Book 6: Scouts-based systems for
generating star systems. But as you might gather, my approach toward
game mechanics issues with planetary data tends to be more
conservative than it is for stellar data--for a reason.  Regina for
example is a gas giant moon.  There's no changing that and if you
tried there would be an outcry.  I'd be willing to bet however that
no one without looking it up could tell me what sort of star(s) are in
the Regina system.
