Objectives: Periphery, pdf:

Page 1, credits box, developer note reads as follows:
"For more information about the former Free Worlds League Industry see Handbook: Minor Periphery States, Field Manual:
Periphery, Field Manual: Updates, Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers, any of the Jihad line of products, or Technical Readout: 3085."
This is clearly wrong, since this product has nothing to do with the FWL, and there is no Handbook: Minor Periphery States. Those should be in the first case Periphery instead of former FWL, and in the second case Handbook: Major Periphery States.

Suggested solution:
Replace with the following, changes bolded:
"For more information about Periphery Industry see Handbook: Major Periphery States, Field Manual:
Periphery, Field Manual: Updates, Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers, any of the Jihad line of products, or Technical Readout: 3085."

Objectives: Periphery
1st "printing" PDF

p5, Illiushin:
Vandenberg Mechanized Industries: Location has this somewhere called "Cheese Whey" on a continent called "Pasteur". Per the info box for Illiushin, there is no such continent. Rename.

p6, Illiushin:
Illiushin Taurian Academy: Location has this somewhere called "Dairy" on a continent called "Whey". Per the info box for Illiushin, there is no such continent. Rename.

Planetary Militia: Location has this somewhere called "Dairy" on a continent called "Whey". Per the info box for Illiushin, there is no such continent. Rename.

p18, Krimari:
Number of Satellites: replace "Names" with the name of Krimari's single satellite

p21, Filtvelt:
Landmasses: Freedom's Ring is actually the name of the capital city, which was formerly known as Paradiso until April 3066. A different name should be made up for the continent on which Freedom's Ring sits. This will also affect the locations of Colonial Tractors (on this page) and The Marshal Academy (on the next).

p24, Filtvelt:
Filtvelt Academy: Location is "Underdal (Hurum)". Should be "Undredal (Hurum)".
Planetary Militia: Location is "Underdal (Hurum)". Should be "Undredal (Hurum)".

Objectives: Periphery, 1st Printing PDF

Page 25, Industrial Systems: Alphard planet info box

The Landmasses (Capital City) entry indicates the following for Alphard: Italia (Nova Roma), Alba, Gaul, Hispania and Moesia.

Problem: Handbook: Major Periphery States has quite a long section on the Marian Hegemony from page 154 onwards annotated as being presented by Zephaniah Hagan, Senator Emeritus for Alphard. Hagan states that "The patricians of Ostia, Alphard’s southernmost island continent where I hail from..." Ostia is not mentioned in in the Objectives: Periphery entry for Alphard as a landmass.

Suggested solution: Add Ostia to the list of continents.

Objectives: Periphery, PDF

Page 4, Brinton:  The system Brinton (anti-spinward of New Vandenberg, e.g., Handbook: Major Periphery States, p.121) is missing on the map of Objectives: Periphery on page 42. Neither does it show up on the maps in Field Manual: 3085 or the MWDA map.
Although its absence from the maps may be intentional, it seems odd to mention it as an objective but hide its location. On the other hand, Brinton may have been mistaken for Burton which is listed on all maps.

Suggested solution: Either add the system Brinton to the map on page 42 or replace all references to Brinton with Burton.

Not an error. Brinton is intentionally kept off the maps, due to the deadly plague on the planet.

Humm, but it would be missing the Dreadnought Mk II Tractor Module? Was in production in 3072 according to the TRO Prototypes Periphery

p6, Jamestown:
The location for Liberty Arms is listed as Bowie (Bowie Seamount) - however, Bowie Seamount is not a continent listed in the information box. Rename or add Bowie Seamount to the list of continents.

Not every factory is one a continent. A factory on Easter Island would not be on a Terran continent.

p18, Lockton:
Equatorial Temperature: 31°C (Warm Temperate)
Suggest changing Warm Temperate to Arid; there's only 5% water coverage and there's a special note that any weather results of Rain/Snow should be replaced with Dust Storm.

p21, Fronc:
Colonial Tractors
Location: Ayms (Paradisa)
Militia
Location: Marshaltown (Paradisa)
Unless these are supposed to be an island (or underseas mountain inexplicably covered in jungles), Paradisa should be changed to Freedom's Ring, since the Militia write up mentions it is on Freedom's ring outside of the capital (which is Paradiso in the info box).
(Edit: I just noticed Roosterboy's first errata for 'Filtvelt' should have been for Fronc and invalidates mine I believe)

p29, New St. Andrews
There is no write up for Meridian Manufacturing, which is mentioned in the 'strategic overview' on page 28 - it seems odd that there is no coverage for this factory despite it appearing in the overview.

Per the following quotation, change Thunderbird Strike Fighter to STU-K5 Stuka.

XTRO: Deep Periphery was cancelled. The units listed on the Escorpion Imperio RAT should be replaced with the followings:

Pride Conventional Fighter = Meteor Heavy Strike Fighter [45 tons]
Thunderbird Strike Fighter = STU-K5 Stuka [100 tons]

Thanks,
