-Poul Anderson, "Outpost of Empire" IN Anderson, Captain Flandry: Defender Of The Terran Empire (New York, 2010), pp. 1-72 AT p. 1.
This deceptively simple opening paragraph of a short story makes passing reference to two stars that in fact play major roles in Poul Anderson's Technic History, which is why I have linked to the previous blog posts mentioning either Spica or Betelgeuse.

Kaor, Paul!
And we see mention of Sector Spica in A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS as being plagued, in the troubled years following the death of Josip, by pirates, war lords, crusaders for various weird causes, etc. Emperor Hans was so eager to restore order there that he personally led the fleet assigned to that task.
