Now if you could only persuade him to fix the "Andor and Candory were discovered in 810" nonsense.This was fixed by Spinward Marches Campaign... "Surveyed and settled at about the same time as Regina, but its culture was structured as isolationist; presented with the opportunity to join the Imperium in 235, it declined and has remained an independent world since (SMC 19)."
The thing is, 40 years is a long time. Long enough for a modest 3% pa. population increase to more than double a population. Or for a 1% pa. increase to change a population multiplier just a bit. Or for an outpost to be created, augmented, or abandoned. Or, of course, if the world has a strict zero-population growth policy, for the population to remain static. So not only does every single population you change have a story behind it, so does every single population you don't change. Limiting the changes to the ones that happens to have been mentioned somewhere in canon would seem highly specious to me.It's Marc's idea. I'm just doing some fact checking to make sure we haven't missed any significant changes from 1065 to 1105.
BTW, any chance of persuading you to make every low-population world an outpost of a world with a bigger population (or to amend the population size)? (OK, not every single low-population world, but every one you can't think of a good reason why the Imperium would treat it as a sovereign member world? (>>Cough!<< Pixie! >>Cough!<<)).
