I'd like to know about the other Erewhon wormwhole
terminus. Various maps show it in different places.
Also two names are given Joshua & Sasebo. Which
placement and name is correct.

The terminus has 3 known connections:
  • Terra Haute - 390 ly
  • Joshua - 359 ly
  • Sasebo - 859 ly (uncertain)
The location of Joshua is a bit uncertain because it's location has been determined by looking at maps printed in books and they aren't always that exact and may change a bit from book to book.

Also, some fan made maps have given the name Sasebo to Joshua and vice versa.

The location of Joshua should be at 1/3 of the distance on an almost straight line to Erewhon, ie. NE of Sol at a distance of ~172 ly.

Sasebo should be located somewhere SW of Sol, exact location not known.

The third terminus (Sasebo) was mentioned in the short story Beauty and the Beast found in the sixth Honorverse anthology Beginnings.

See the Honorverse Wiki on Sasebo.

It's on p.215 of the hardcover, and there's only one reference in the story that I could find. The next paragraph doesn't make any sense, at least to me, and I still have no idea where the 859 ly comes from.

I think it's a typo from one the sources I used, it should probably be 359 and refer to Joshua.

It is, see the scanned book originals. It's in JRMN and the Evergreen one.
