Book 1: Pandora's Star
- Ch 9Silvergalde is a likely artificial world nearly three times Earth's size with stable climate, no fossils, no crustal metals, and imported DNA types; apparently a Silfen capital.
- Ch 9Silfen rules ban technology above Victorian-level mechanization; advanced devices glitch or fail, except the CST gateway machinery holding the wormhole open.
- Ch 9About a million and a half humans have emigrated there, mostly gentle spiritualist types drawn by the Silfen.
- Ch 12Silvergalde has a rotation of about twenty-five and a half hours, unlike the roughly ten-hour days they now experience.
- Ch 22Silfen-inhabited planet to which a small 'Exodus' of mostly first-lifers is fleeing, with CST tripling trains there.
