Talk:Node Inconsistencies

Talania

Further study into the topic has provided enough evidence that Talania was NEVER a canon star system. There is, at the very least, no evidence for it, the lack of a node map containing it being the biggest bit. At best, Talania as a star system is a concoction of various campaign builders and an overactive imagination. I apologize for making a big deal out of this. -- Eishtmo

There is indeed evidence for it - see the Leviathan FS1 tech entry: "...production was started up again after the defeat at the Talania system..." At the very least, we know it exists. Unfortunately we have no further information on what or where it is. -- Goober5000

A nodemap created for the campaign series Cardinal Spear and Cardinal Spear: Vega (1999) was designed to match the appearance of the Volition nodechart. However, the notion that the Talania system exists in the same sense as the Jovian system is an idea that has become more accepted. This would mean that Talania would be a planet in a system at the front of the V-T war, either Beta Aquilae, Antares, or Vega. -- Ace

"More accepted"? I don't think so; I don't think the majority of people care one way or the other. We seem to be the only three people with any more than a passing interest in finding out more about it. ;) Regardless, nowhere in Freespace is the term "system" used to refer to a planet with moons; it's always used to refer to a star with planets. Therefore if Talania exists, it's a star system, not a planet. -- Goober5000
