Therefore, The Technic Civilization Saga, Volume III, Rise Of The Terran Empire, collects in their correct order:
Mirkheim
"Wingless"
"Rescue on Avalon"
"The Star Plunderer"
"Sargasso of Lost Starships"
The People Of The Wind
This is the pivotal Saga volume, beginning with the decline of the Polesotechnic League and ending with the early Terran Empire. The League begins in Volume I, the Empire ends in Volume VII and there is history both before the League and after the Empire.

Kaor, Paul!
I've gotten the impression that Anderson hesitated for a long time over including "Sargasso" in the Technic series, because it was so different from the other stories in that History. But we both agreed that if we think of "Sargasso" as a fiction written centuries later, during the Empire, it could be fitted in as a fiction within the fiction.
We do have the precedent of ENSIGN FLANDRY mentioning two pop novels of Flandry's youth: OUTLAW BLASTMAN and PLANET OF SIN.
Ad astra! Sean
