Now that I've finished going through the Plotbunny thread, I've added a few more locations, ranging from the USAF base at L4 to the Tipsy Senshi in Crystal Tokyo.
If tehre's anything else to be added, I didn't see it in any of the existing posts...

Um... when I looked at the Fendom-friendly locations in Australia, this got me a might concerned; 'Kingsford Smith International Spaceport, Sydney'.
Especally after the report that the shipboard AI, Trigon pretty much fried a nearby national park (mostly consisting of Tea Tree shrubs). A park which, while it is under the flightpath of Airborne craft coming into land, is adjacent to a large oil refinerey, and there's smaller storage sites in the area. Infact after that, certain vessel types would be directed to Avalon & Point Wilson Aerospace & Aqua port, Melbourne.
The air traffic controllers at KS would be happier too, as the amount of fen-traffic could be reduced. For you've got to take into account that Kingsford Smith airport is Australia's version of Heathrow and that due to the local residents it's hours of operation are limited. The Rich and Powerful must get their sleep and they 'live' near Sydney airport.

Noted. I trust it's okay to have both Sydney and Melbourne host spaceports, as long as the traffic is spread between them...

Greenwood is semi-mobile, but as of the start of OGJ, she's at the Earth/Luna L4 point, in company with the TSAB station.--

The entry for Pallas should be updated a bit. It's more than just a truck stop (although I'm sure that's what most free-floating fen are likely to think of it as). The entire asteroid has been converted into a shirt-sleeve environment that's available for anyone who wants to buy property for farming, homes, manufacturing, etc. The Wiki entry for Pallas has a lot more detail, for those who are interested.--

I have no problem with the asteroid being turned into the system's largest greenhouse, but what does that do to the setting's financial situation? (We did decide to base the economy on biomass, after all - is there's enough plant life on Pallas to make the inhabitants independently wealthy? If there is, why hasn't anyone heard about them?)
Resolving this apparent glitch could be the basis of a story...
Edit: And I'll hold off on updating the master list for a day or two, to let you consider a response to my question. (And to let a few more entries accumulate, maybe.)-Rob Kelk

It may help to say that the terraforming projects own a considerable portion and use it as a storage and experimentation site with a reasonably controlable environment. That would explain where the resources to construct it came from, and it would mean the Boskonians wouldn't come after it because of the numbers of ships around. Otherwise they'd try to capture it to hold large amounts of Fenspace at ransom (all that food under their control).

[robkelk]

List updated. (In-depth descriptions belong in the Gazetteer, not here...)
