In looking through HoS, I noticed a map of the modern SEM, including portions of Silesia and Talbot on it. I've seen this map before and hadn't given it more than a cursorary glance. Yet, just a moment ago I noticed 2 items on the Silesia map that I had never paid attention to before.
1) a star in the upper middle marks the Capitol - This presumably is Silesia itself and when comparing it to the confederacy map in SITS 2 (Setting book, pages 17-18), is perfectly placed for Silesia. 2) There is a trio of stars in the upper right - this is the Chalice (Jarmon, Hendrikson, and Willis) that Warneke (the villian at Sidemore from HAE) took over in his original rise to power. Now rotating the SITS map so these 2 points are aligned, we see the division of Silesia. If I'm reading this correct.... The Sectors of Saginaw (8 stars), Hillman(4 stars) and Terrance (7 stars) are completely inside of the SEM sphere, The Posnan sector is split with Posnan and 7 other systems (so every system but Zoaraster) in the SEM umbrella as is the Silesia Sector with Silesia and the 5 systems in the Western 1/2 of the sector. The System of Tumult (the seat of the Tumult sector) appears to be included as well. This gives the RMN 34 systems including the following named systems: Shiller Sigma Posnan Sharon's Star Tyler's Star Creswell Arendshelt Magyar Psyche Prism Melchor Hera Saginaw Krieger's Star Horus Lutrell Silesia Hillman Terrance Jarmon Henrikson Willis Tumult (maybe) The IAN received the NE 1/2 of the Confederacy, with the entire Sachsen (5 stars), Breslau (11 stars), and Carlton (6 stars) sectors. The 4 eastern stars in Tumult join the IAN as do the 3 easternmost stars in the Silesian sector and most likely Zoraster from the Posnan sector. If correct, this gives the IAN 30 systems, including the following named systems: Brennan Sachsen Trellis Melbourne Slocum Adelaide Harston Libau Breslau Gosset Hume Walther Lau Hiler Telmach Brinkman Sandhill Carlton Sarah Zoraster (maybe) Obviously, if you look on the HoS map, you will see I'm lining up little dots that could be randomish and not exact, so take this with a grain of salt. If anyone has access to SITS2 and HoS please backstop me and throw in your intrepretation. Depending on how you look at it, the Stars of Shiller and Sigma in Posnan may also be in IAN hands. ******

You forgot the Casmir system (and a few others) which IIRC is near Saginaw |

I was only going off the named stars on the SITS 2 map - only about 1/2 the stars were named on said map and at least 3 stars have 2 habitable planets. If you know where Casmir is, please add it to the relevant list. ******
