Introducing Merseians

"Day of Burning" introduces Merseians in the Polesotechnic League period of the Technic History.

Ensign Flandry introduces them in the Young Flandry Trilogy.

"Honorable Enemies" introduces them in the Captain Flandry series.

In fact, the third was the first.

After "Day of Burning," there are only:

the Merseians who join the Baburite space navy in Mirkheim;

the single brief reference to the Roidhunate in The People Of The Wind;

the Merseians in the Flandry period.

However, that last group are diverse, not all from the home planet or even from within the Roidhunate. Entire chapters or chapter sections narrated from Merseian points of view emphasise that this is a Merseian, not just a human, history.

Kaor, Paul!

And we know nothing, zero, about the later history of Merseia. None of the four post-Imperial stories mentions the Merseians in any way. Which strikes me as very odd!
