I'm not going to get anywhere again tonight, although the drabble clocked in at almost five hundred words, so a page a day, nit nothing, but I will write my specifications for the page I should be coding:

• get something done and worry about improving it later!
• that means quick and dirty stars and worlds, point to point, star to star, terrain tile to terrain tile.
• go up from the world to the star, and down from the local interstellar volume to the system, the world, the regions to the smaller bits
