Logic Error
KO target status +1 or greater
QUICK KILL target status +1 or greater
Both refer to target being status +1 or greater which means alert to the action according to page 206 Status
This makes no sense as sneaking up on someone and whacking them on the head to knock would usually mean the opposite condition of the target.. more like status -1 inattentive or worse.

[Minor] Book 2 p.144. Example - maths seems a bit off:
Active Sensors Increase Target Size. An Active Sensor
provides a Mod + Sensor Range S=.
At Range S=7 an ACS ship Size-7 with sensors in Psv
Mode is Size-0 (7-7=0). If it Activates its S=7 Ant AR Radar-9, it becomes Size-7 (7-7+7=0) in the Sensor Task.

p.29 Book 3
Hospitable secondary world generation. Only 1 in 6 produces a hospitable none-main world. And per the note -
- HZ, HZ +HZ
1D Description
1 Inferno
2 Inner World
3 BigWorld
4 StormWorld
5 RadWorld
6 Hospitable*
* Special situation (probably albedo).
This could be a way of getting rid of lots of otherwise nice planets around non-primary stars - but does not really fit with the adjacent comments:
Habitable Zone (HZ) orbit number
indicates a world surface environment
hospitable to humans and similar.
Additionally chart 2B (noted for mainworlds):
HZ+1-Cold. Tundra. trade code Tu., but you are as likely to generate an inferno world as a hospitable using the secondary world generation in HZ+1.
So a cold inferno? Perhaps the note should have applied to inferno worlds?

Can we have a standard errata format
Location:
Book number, page number, column, paragraph number, chart name, chart number
1st and 2nd are a basic requirement to define location of error, other data just makes it easier.
Type of error:
Textual error (spelling, grammar, wrong label, etc)
Logic error (system results in an illogical result)
Mechanic error (mechanic used is used in a improper manner)
Description of issue:
1st paragraph: What it says that is possibly incorrect
2nd paragraph: Why incorrect.
3rd paragraph: What you believe is correct, or if you don't have a solution leave this off

Thanks for the submission. Surprised by bestiry vs bestiary as a spell check should have caught something like that. There is no alternative spelling that would cover that.
Location:
Book number 1, page 73 versus Book 1, page 83
Type of error: Mechanic Error
Description of issue:
The Career summary chart on page 73 lists Agent Risk and Reward as Str C2 C3 Int. The Career page on page 83, lists it as C1 C2 C3 C4
C1 C2 C3 C4 seems better since an agent is embedded within their own society (typically). Not sure of the actual intent,

This is one that is
confusing but it is not incorrect.C1 is str, C2 (can be multiple names), C3(Can be multiple names), and C4 is Int
C1 is always Strength
c2, Dexterity, or Agility, or Grace
c3, Endurance, or Stamina, or Vigor
C4 is always Intelligence.
so Str, C2, C3, Int is the same (synonymous) as saying C1, C2, C3, C4
I do agree staying with the C1 to C4 format makes more sense.
maybe this should be treated as a
TEXTUAL ERROR?

do you have a page number for the reference to gas giants... I know the method doesn't have a page number from your description.
Book 3 page 73 is where the terrain types for a gas giant are listed.
Book 3 Page 74 has the Habitat and the instructions on how to map a habitat.

Book 3 page 29 is used for determining planetary orbits. This is where you will find how to place gas giants.
Starting page 56 to page 73 world building is planetary surfaces and not related to the design of the star system on a orbital level.
Page 74 refers designing space habitats not habital zones.
The placement of that chart is ok but your understanding of the section is a bit wrong. Pg 73 is informational to generating the map on pg 72 of your gas giant if you so desire to map the gas giant,
it is not referencing the orbits at all but the planetary "surface".
If you want the orbits for gas giants please see Book 3 page 29
Book 3 Page 126, Armor Stage Effects - Are the values for Improved and Modified correct? The Ar through Se numbers seem to be swapped.
