Romance of the Renegade

     Killick Toofrick's, Romance of the Renegade, is a popular history of the storied fighting unit and clan. The work is well researched and documented. Though it lacks in critical analysis of some of the more controversial events covered it still represents a sound history with broad appeal to the general public if not to historians. Of particular value is Toofrick's documentation of the supression of the clan by the Family Of One and of the recent resurgence of interest in Clan Renegade and the explosion of claims of descent from members of the original clan.

The Garden Of Yast & The Yazerian Star Exodus

Despite the title this book only focuses on the rise to power by the Family of One during the Star Exodus and only gives cursory coverage to the yazi-forming of Yast and the mass exodus from the yazerian home world. It represents the comprehensive history of the rise to power by the Family of One and its domination of yazerian society in the early days of the Frontier.    
     The "bloodless" coop and rise to power of the Family by jettisoning the colonial governor and his Clan Renegade body guard while in suspended animation on the trip to Yast receives comprehensive coverage and is even handed in its treatment. The resulting suppression of Clan Renegade by the Family and the declaration of 'life enemy' of the Family by the clan read more like popular fiction than history.
     Several chapters cover the social reforms and reorganization of yazerian society on Yast and its impact on Frontier wide yazerian society. The volume ends with a serious evaluation of the "seeds of civil war," as the author coined the phrase, and a prediction of the eventual break away of all of Yast's daughter colonies.

The Metaphysical Foundations of Dralasite Morality

The Metaphysical Foundations of Dralasite Morality, written by Grod of Truane's Star Civil Service, is an immense monograph that has seen better circulation as an electronic document than a hard copy. Popular only in dralasite communities, it experience a breif resurgence in interest when news of Grod's disappearence on Volturnus surfaced.

The Vursk Atlas

The Vusk Atlas, produced by the Vursk Atlas Corporation, is the gold standard of cartography within the Frontier. It is issued as both an individual edition for each inhabited planet, a system edition and as the Vurst Encyclopedic Atlas of the Frontier for the entirety of the Frontier. Both of the Vursk Atlas, Volturnus and Vustk Atlas, Zebulon editions are dedicated to the memory of Itklikdil, a company employee who died exploring Volturnus.

Glacticana Encyclopedia

The Glacticana Encyclopedia attempts to cover all knowledge and each edition is obsolete as soon as it is published due to the exponentially expanding amount of information. This is why the company focues on mainly electronic editions though owning a hard copy of the encyclopedia is a popular status symbol with the rich.

Ballad of Lt. Johnson

The Ballad of Lt Johnson is a drinking song, popular with the Royal Guard of Clarion. It commemorates a semi-mythical stand made on Laco against the sathar during the First Sathar War.

Ballad of Lt. Johnson

Ol’ Lt. Johnson had troubles of his own
He joined the Army and was sent far from home;
A loyal man was he, willing to serve country and king,
He had answered the call with its Clarion ring;

To Laco’s dusty ball to fight in the fray,
To fight the bloody sathar, come what may.
Stationed on the flank lest the sathar come around,
There he fought all the worms they found.

Chorus
But the sathar came back the very next day,
The worms came back, they did not stay away
But the sathar came back; they couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea

Ordered to hold, he called for private dralasite,
To the blob he said its time for the kaboomite;
So the blob of a private went to mine the approaches,
Scurry he did fearing the worm’s encroaches.

The worms came on and the private was pinned,
Corporal Vrusk ran forward to get him
But Sathar swarmed on and they could not get away.
So they triggered the explosive and won the day.

Chorus
But the sathar came back the very next day,
The worms came back, they did not stay away
But the sathar came back; they couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea

To his sergeant Yazirian the Lieutenant said,
Well we’re the last but I fear we are dead;
The sergeant drew his sword and said if die we must
Let’s kill some worms and grind them to dust.

Ol’ Lt. Johnson had troubles of his own,
He fought a valiant battle far from home.
Ordered to hold, come what may.
He gave his life on that fateful day.

Chorus
But the sathar came back the very next day,
The worms came back, they did not stay away
But the sathar came back; they couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
