Sandra Miesel's interstitial notes refer to:
Nicholas van Rijn
Manuel Argos
Dominic Flandry
Roan Tom
- even though, of these four, only Argos and Tom appear in the current volume. Miesel summarizes the Imperial period that follows the Troubles:
from slavery to imperium;
interstellar peace;
protection;
security;
local autonomy;
size and complexity;
collision with Merseia;
decadence;
injustices;
tyranny;
Freeholder resistance.
Again, Miesel summarizes the entire Technic History, not just the concluding Long Night.

Kaor, Paul!
And the rebellion of the Outbackers on Freehold could have been crushed if the Empire had been willing to use overwhelming force to break it. The fact the Imperium was willing to settle for a compromise on Freehold shows Terra had not gone wholly bad.
Ad astra! Sean
