Supermetals And The Baldic League

Mirkheim, VII.

On Mirkheim, Sandra Tamarin meets a gang of Supermetals workers comprising Ikranankans, Cynthians, a Gorzuni, an Ivanhoan and human colonials, all led by the Vixenite, Henry Kittredge. So some Gorzuni, taking a break from working as mercenaries, have joined Supermetal although this does not prevent members of their species from later sacking Earth and enslaving human beings during the Time of Troubles. They do this as part of the Baldic League which also includes renegade human colonials. "The Star Plunderer" was published twenty five years before Mirkheim. But longer term benefits of Supermetals include the weather stations on Vixen and that planet later founds a colony, New Vixen. A New Vixenite becomes a Ranger of the Commonalty and contacts descendants of Aenean rebels exiled by Dominic Flandry and that really does bring us to the end of the Technic History.

Kaor, Paul!

And its share of the profits from Mirkheim might have been what later enabled Gorzun to make its bid for empire under the Baldic League during the Time of Troubles.

Ad astra! Sean
