3101.

And with that,

p.9 "How to Use this Book"
"The Second Combine-Dominion War (3099–3102)" should be
"The Second Combine-Dominion War (3098–3101)"

Historical: Wars of the Republic Era (pdf edition)

Every reference to the 4th Tau Ceti Rangers needs to be changed. Per ER3145, the Rangers were reorganized into the Tau Ceti Lancers around 3100 and first saw action under that name within the first few years of the century. By the time of the Capellan Crusades in 3111, they had been going by the new name for at least a decade.

I think I got all of the page references:

p61, column 2, paragraph 2, line 2
p65, column 2
p80, column 1, paragraph 1, line 1
p86, CC deployment chart
p87, CC deployment chart
p98, ccolumn 1, special abilities paragraph

VERSION: Printed Version (c)2014

LOCATIONS:
- Maps on pages 56 (Halas/Humphries Invasion) and 62 (post war border)
- Texts on pages 55 (1st paragraph), 61 (2nd paragraph after "Andurien's Hard Lessons") and 63 (1st and 2nd paragraph under "Humphreys and Marik's Invasion")

THE ERROR:
- Discrepancies between text and maps, in particular:
(1) Text p.56 states that Andurien troops (First Andurien Guards) attacked Frondas with Cronulla being the jump off point. The maps show Cronulla as Oriente territory.
(2) Text p. 63 says that Oriente lost 2 worlds, Andurien 9, but according to the map p. 62 it is 4 and 7 respectively.
(3) Text p. 61 mentiones the capture of Cronulla and Iknogoro in the part dealing with Andurien, not Oriente, although both maps show those planets as Oriente's.

THE CORRECTION:
- Cronulla and Iknogoro are mentioned in FM3085 as independend worlds and I didn't find any further reference to them prior to the Victoria War.  Labelling both as belonging to Andurien at the onset of war would fit the text and would allow Cronulla as starting point for Andurien troops. Only the borders in both maps would need a minor correction

- An alternative would be to keep both worlds as Oriente's, correct the text describing the losses (4 losses for Oriente, 7 for Andurien) and find an explanation why Andurien forces started their attack from Oriente space.

Problem: Introduction Date Listed incorrectly
Summary: Article's profile notes that the ship was introduced in 3099.  (page 108) Master Unit List profile for the Polaris lists the vessel as being introduced in 3100.
 
Suggested Action: Unless MUL Profile is incorrect, the Profile for the ship's introduction year on page 108 should be changed 3100.
