Re: Number of Colonies and Contact: Harvest

In Response To: Number of Colonies and Contact: Harvest (kr-1426)


: So, I just got Contact: Harvest. The books pretty good so far, but while
: reading it, I noticed several mentions of how the UNSC had only 17
: colonies. Now, this seemed too small a number to me, so I decided to list
: the colonies. Here are all the colonies named in The Fall of Reach, First
: Strike, Ghosts of Onyx, Contact: Harvest, I Love Bees, and the
: Conversations from the Universe booklet that I could find: Atlas
: Ballast
: Beta Centauri System
: Biko
: Charybdis IX
: Chi Ceti IV
: Coral
: Crystal
: Draco III
: Emerald Cove
: Eridanus II
: Far Isle
: Gilgamesh
: Harmony
: Harvest
: Hydra System
: Jerico VII
: Madrigal
: Mamore
: Minister
: New Harmony
: Paris IV
: Reach
: Sigma Octanus IV
: Tribute
: Troy
: Victoria

: That's 27. Far Isle was destroyed by the UNSC in 2492, though, but that still
: leaves 26 colonies. So, assume the Hydra and Beta Centauri systems each
: contain one of the named colonies. That's 24. Chi Ceti IV was a military
: installation only, so assume it's not considered a colony. Assume the same
: for Emerald Cove, too, because the only reference to it is when the
: Spartan IIs are on a training excercise there. That's 22. Off the top of
: my head, Eridanus II, Harvest, Madrigal, and Tribute are mentioned in CH.
: That's 4 of the 17, leaving 13 colonies. That still leaves the following:
: Atlas
: Ballast
: Biko
: Charybdis IX
: Coral
: Crystal
: Draco III
: Gilgamesh
: Harmony
: Jerico VII
: Mamore
: Minister
: New Harmony
: Paris IV
: Sigma Octanus IV
: Troy
: Victoria

: That's 17 colonies, when there's only room for 13 more. I can't really think
: of a way to reconcile the numbers besides either a few more being military
: installations and not full colonies, or maybe not including the ILB
: planets. What do you guys think? And I know, I have too much time on my
: hands, but it was bugging me.

ILB is not necessarily canon.
