    I’m rereading the Faded Sun and am wondering which other books in the AU universe the mri appear? I’ve been searching but am flummoxed!

      Thanks CJ. I was thinking I’d heard of them before reading this. It’s one of my favorites and was delighted when I saw it in audio! Snapped it right up.

    What do the downers look like? I know they have soft, fine fur and that the females don’t show much when they’re expecting – anything else? Fan art? Concept art?

    Now that Alliance Rising is out, is there a timeframe for releasing the (updated) “Alliance-Union History” on Closed Circle?

    This is a timeline I worked up for the U/A books back in 2000, modified slightly in 2003, and slightly in 2020.

    Note that this is my best guess on many things, and it has not been revised to reflect the most recent U/A novel “Alliance Rising”, set at the very beginning of the Company War.

    Also, the initial reason I wrote this was to help people who wanted to read the books in internal chronological order. So I ignored any prologues or epilogues that were at significantly different times from the main events of the book.

    Comments and corrections are welcome.

    2300 AD (Company War officially begins (but some fighting has been going on previously, including the death of Fletcher Neihart, referred to in “Finity’s End”))

    2323 “Heavy Time” (Collected in “Devil To the Belt”)

    2324 “Hellburner” (Collected in “Devil To the Belt”)

    2352-2353 “Downbelow Station”

    2354 (Treaty of Pell ends Company War)

    2354-2658 “Forty Thousand in Gehenna”

    2355?? “Merchanter’s Luck”

    2355-2356 “Voyager in Night”

    2358? “Rimrunners”

    2369? “Finity’s End”

    sometime roughly between 2369 and 2380 “Tripoint” (but after the end of “Finity’s End”)

    mid-to-late 2300s “The Pride of Chanur”

    mid-to-late 2300s + 1-2 years “Chanur’s Venture”

    mid-to-late 2300s + 1-2 years “The Kif Strike Back”

    mid-to-late 2300s + 1-2 years “Chanur’s Homecoming”

    mid-to-late 2300s + 10? years “Chanur’s Legacy”

    2404-2423 “Cyteen”

    2423-? “Cyteen: Regenesis”

    2410? “The Sandman, The Tinman, and The BettyB”

    2744? “The Faded Sun Kesrith”

    2744? “The Faded Sun Shon’jir”

    2744? “The Faded Sun Kutath”

    3141 – 3180?? “Serpent’s Reach”

    3260? “Angel with the Sword” (“Merovingen Nights” shared world anthologies #1 – #7 cover the next 5 years or so.)

    4200?? “Brothers of Earth”

    “Very, very far down the timeline” “Hunter of Worlds”

    “Wave Without a Shore”, “Cuckoo’s Egg” and “Port Eternity” can’t really be pinned down to a specific time, but probably at least a few centuries after 2400 AD. “The Scapegoat” would also be in this category, AFAIK. (I’ve only read it once, there may be more specific dating details I’ve forgotten.)

    The Morgaine novels can be argued to be part of the U/A universe but given the nature of the time travel involved, can’t be dated.
    “Gate of Ivrel”
    “Well of Shiuan”
    “Fires of Azeroth”
    “Exiles’ Gate”

    Note that the “Foreigner” books are *not* part of the U/A universe.
    IMHO, “Hestia” isn’t either.
