Talk:Cassilldan

Given their location and the name "Ambemshan" for the Cassilldan homeworld, I'd propose that the following may be Cassilldan worlds:

• Anashakila (Antares 0204) -- in a neighbouring subsector
• Andrussovo (Antares 0318) -- in close proximity to Ambemshan
• Anshasham (Antares 1913) -- admittedly a bit far, but on a main which terminates very close to Ambemshan
• Nasseathin (Antares 1014) -- in relative proximity to Ambemshan, within 10 parsecs
• Pomstedonn (Antares 0408) -- in relative proximity to Ambemshan, within 10 parsecs
• Sheslassim (Antares 0316) -- in close proximity to Ambemshan
• Wyshamshen (Antares 08240 -- in relative proximity to Ambemshan, just over 10 parsecs

Agent of the Imperium implies (as, I suppose does that initial appearance in "Solomani & Aslan") that the Cassilldan are prominent enough to mention in the same breath as the Geonee and the Suerrat. Presumably, then, they have multiple systems.

Notes (2016)

There are not very many documented mentions of this sophont species:

1. Cassilldans (also spelled Casilldans or Cassildans) are pictured in Solomani & Aslan, p. 24 as a tall, sword-wielding minor human race. No other details are provided.
2. In Traveller Chronicle 11 they are described for the New Era as "contacted by the Terrans during the Second Imperium (Rule of Man). Their total fascination with all things Terran, and a belief that they were to play a significant role in Terran history, led and them in 605 to establish a colony on Terra on the coast of Lebanon near Tyre" (35).
3. Illustrations also appear in Traveller 5th on pages 54 (craftsman) and 572 (Core Rules v5.09). There they are described as "a minor branch of Humanity, abandoned by one of Grandfather’s Sons on a low gravity world in the aftermath of the Ancient War.'
4. Their homeworld, Ambemsham (Antares 0216 A5457BC-B), is a tide-locked world in orbit 0 of Krof, an M3 V star with an M6 V companion in Antares Sector (Core Rules pp. 546 and 572).
