It is a trip to revisit the Terran Empire period of Poul Anderson's History of Technic Civilization. The seventeen planets listed represent no less than six different interstellar realms:
the Terran Empire
the Merseian Roidhunate
the Domain of Ythri
the Betelgeusean empire
the Gorrazanian remnant
the Dispersal of Ymir
I am pleased to find that the blogs already contain at least some information on each of the listed planets.
I will close June with this 105th post unless I can draft 5 or preferably 10 more before the end of Tuesday. SM Stirling's Conquistadors has arrived but I am also rereading Swamp Thing.
Addenda (in response to comment):
Scotha
Dennitza
Chereion
Talwin
Nyanza
Brae
Kraken
Ramnu
Altai
Diomedes

Kaor, Paul!
Again, I admire your zeal and eagerness in commenting on the works of Poul Anderson!
I think you should have included Scotha in your list of planets. First, because the Frithian kings of Scotha were scheming to attack and invade the Empire (see "Tiger by the Tail). Second, after Flandry thwarted this Scotha became a client or subordinate ally of the Empire, so it continued to have some prominence. Third, we see a Scothan who had enlisted in the Imperial Navy and became a citizen of the Empire in WE CLAIM THESE STARS.
Also, you forgot to include Dennitza in your list!

Sean,
Thank you for comment. Please see addenda to post.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
I noticed! You added a lot more to the list than my mere two! I was focused mostly on Scotha.
