-Poul Anderson, A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows IN Anderson, Sir Dominic Flandry: The Last Knight Of Terra (Riverdale, NY, 2012), pp. 339-606 AT I, p. 342.
It is true:
Terra
Diomedes
Talwin
Dennitza
Chereion
Van Rijn was on Diomedes;
Flandry was on Talwin before;
we have heard of Chereion;
we have not heard of Dennitza before.
Thus, in true future historical style, Poul Anderson combines background information from earlier installments with new information. That process continues as long as the future history series does.

Kaor, Paul!
Dang! I had forgotten about Talwin, which we see in A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS during its long, long winter. But we see it so briefly in KNIGHT that it's easy to overlook. A pity we are not told more about the Domrath and Ruadrath, the two intelligent races of that planet.
