Vincennes: Introduction Vincennes is currently the only industrial world in the Domain of Deneb to have reached a level of technology higher than Imperial standard. Vincennes is in the life zone of the K7V star Undraczech, but it actually orbits that star's dim red companion, the M7V star Ember. Depending on whether Vincennes is between the two stars or on the far side of Ember from Undraczech, its mean temperature varies by approximately 85 K. This wide thermal range leads to tremendous storms sweeping the planet on a regular basis. www.stempest.demon.co.uk /traveller/VincennesInt.html   (448 words)

USS Vincennes Vincennes was founded in 1731 or 1732 by soldier-explorer Francois Marie Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes, and was the site of old Fort Vincennes, captured twice during the American Revolution—in December 1778 and February 1779—by the Virginian, George Rogers Clark. Vincennes sighted her first icebergs on 10 January 1840 and, by the evening of the 11th, a compact barrier of ice blocked further progress, forcing the vessel to heave to for the night. Vincennes left Sydney on 19 March, bound for the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, and arrived there on the 30th to the relief of the other squadron vessels anxiously awaiting her overdue appearance. members.cox.net /tdshiflett/ships/data/sow/vincennes_sow.html   (2914 words)

The largely Solomani population of Vincennes was eager to overthrow the Garhik Dynasty, the last vestige of the invasive Imperial Nobility on Vincennes, and the return of the Humbolts presented them with the opportunity. www.mu.org /~joe/traveller/archive/Rice_Papers/DB-1122-Vincennes.txt   (2592 words)
