OK, so let's change Chronologie's mass to about 8.1 times that of Jupiter. Cray, would this alleviate the problems that its current mass level causes? Steve, would this still work with the orbital dyn...

Thanks, Steve! I have just one more request: could you align the numbers in the demographics section into a vertical column like you did for the Restored Ambi Limis article?

I assume that when you say "Equinoxe would be a very hot planet indeed" you mean to say that it would be outright uninhabitable? It was my intention that Jarre be a somewhat poorly-terraformed world, ...
