Ah, hah!

Now I'm getting a vision of that old ST-TOS episode where there was a city floating in the sky where the affluent elite lived while the workers (trogs) labored in the mines on the surface.

If the city was on a different planet then it would all fit into the TU just fine & explain how a low-pop hi-tech rating could appear for a system that required a lot more people....

p.s. So that's why Rorise in the 'Marches purchased that surplus buffered planetoid warship from the IN. It would keep the 'peons' on the other (secondary) planet in line!

 I vaguely recall a post
 from a few years back (after T5 was released) stating that
 there was a review going on.
 At the time it
 seemed to me that the main thrust was towards eliminating
 all the TL16 worlds that had cropped up over the years.
 However, I suppose it could've also
 encompassed other 'corrections'.
 (Remember when Regina in the 'Marches
 suddenly gained 2-3 TL's? And that was some 20+ years
 ago.)
 Since I came into Trav some years
 before MT, I've always figured that POP was for the
 entire system as CT didn't break things down at that
 time.
 But starting from the very beginning
 there always were 'weird' systems that made me
 think, "Huh, wonder how that system came to be that
 way?"

  Always
  with the Ancients!  :)
  Personally, I think an IISS review
  of which is the "main world" would
 be a better bet
  as a canon explanation. 
 I was just wondering whether
  anyone was
 aware of who made the decision to re-do the UWP
  and why.  CT, MT, TNE, and GT all used the
 LoPop UWP.  I
  don't have MongT on
 hand to check their
  UWP.
  --Cheers!

  So what's the deal
  with Tenalphi?
  When
  did the Starport A, high tech world with Pop
 1 gain a few
  hundred million
 inhabitants?
