	Trantor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trantor was first described in the 1940s when the Foundation Series first appeared in print (in the form of short stories).
		One of the prominent features of Trantor is the Library of Trantor (variously referred to as the Imperial Library, the University of Trantor Library, and the Galactic Library), in which librarians index the entirety of human knowledge by walking up to a different computer terminal every day and resuming where the previous librarian left off.
		Trantor also illustrates the mentality of human beings that was first encountered in Asimov's The Caves of Steel, wherein human technology will ultimately result in a complete encapsulation of a population, and that population will eventually suffer psychosis associated with that total encapsulation.

		The grounds were originally the family estate of the Morovian family in the early days of the Kingdom of Trantor.

	Galactic Central, Trantor
		The white-hot glow at the center is the brilliant main sequence sun of Trantor, which only registers as a star of fourth magnitude to your earthly astronomers.
		Its location, in the center of the galactic hub, was chosen because the light of the nearby nebulae and star clusters literally tore to shreds the darkness of conventional space; and the Emperor thought that the magnificence of its lighting, that of ten thousand nearby stars, matched only the magnificence of the Imperial Regent himself.
		Trantor also untangled the myriads of threads of Galactic Rule which eventually found their way into and out of this hub of Empire.

		LMB Send private responses to: "Gary Fortune" There was book by Trantor at the shop at Edinborough castle which described some modern day folks trying to keep the Stone from being found/taken.
		For example, Trantor's triology on the Bruce describes the Earl of Carrick and his calvary coming to save Wallace at Falkirk, which most historians consider inaccurate with Bruce no where near there at the time of the battle.
		Trantor describes in his books that the Stone was hidden prior to Longshank's taking it from Scone with a replacement left in its place.

		"Trantor class" (as the warning/caveat I posted on the wiki page with the dump of planet types clearly states) is (despite bugs which display the name to the user) a purely internal naming convention.
		Nor do Trantor, Coruscant and their ilk have any place unless, for edifying reference for the uninitiated reader, you wished to populate a "see also" section with some links to wikipedia articles on planet-scale development throughout the history of science fiction.
		In short, you wrote a very misleading description based upon a name that's eventually going to be completely hidden to the player about a planet whose fundamental natures are not yet entirely stable.

		Trantors are the solution because they travel faster (maximum speed of over 45mph), use less fuel and are more comfortable than conventional tractors.
		This multi-purpose design means that Trantors are suitable for use in day-to-day transport, not only in the fields.

		The exciting and well-drawn title screen is followed by an intro featuring the biggest sprite you've ever seen (the spaceship shown below) landing, your character getting out and running along a short distance (plenty of frames in the animation, nice and smooth), and finally, the spaceship exploding.
		The graphics, as I'm sure I've mentioned before, are dull and monochrome, and the aliens you fight (which pour onto the screen randomly and mill about equally randomly) are tiny, stupid and utterly un-fearsome.
		As a demonstration to ST owners just how bad things were on the ZX Spectrum, Trantor is superb; the only thing it lacks is attribute clash.

		Gaal had waited for the first of those jumps with a little dread curled gently in his stomach, and it ended in nothing more than a trifling jar, a little internal kick which ceased an instant before he could be sure he had felt it.
		The steel shutter-lids were rolled back at announced times and he was always there, watching the hard brilliance of the stars, enjoying the incredible hazy swarm of a star cluster, like a giant conglomeration of fireflies caught in mid-motion and stilled forever.
		The first sight of Trantor's sun was that of a hard, white speck all but lost in a myriad such, and recognizable only because it was pointed out by the ship's guide.

		If the adapter is set for another interrupt, the Trantor driver will continue to work, but in a polling fashion that may slow down operation of the system.
		Also, the Trantor driver will register as claiming the use of IRQ 5, and this may disrupt operation of another device actually configured for IRQ 5.
		If you are using one of these Trantor adapters, complete the Windows NT installation normally, and then change the IRQ information for the driver in the Registry.
