« on: August 21, 2011, 06:19:18 AM »
[ooc]I have renewed Brightstar and moved the planets and some information across from 5.42 and into 5.52, although much of the data is not consistent, I have ported across several ship names and style and the primary systems have the same mineral resources. I took the opportunity to change the story a little that why I launched 10 year ahead of the date last reported[/ooc]
