Simple question:  what was the name of the world where the Dark Caste and Society prepared for the Wars of Reaving?  Where was it located in relation to the Kerensky Cluster?  This is for my Scorpio Ascendant fic.

Several places the main ones being - Tameron the Coyote Homeworld (in the Kerensky Cluster) was a hive of Society Cells.

The Tainte Worlds held by the Cobras and Adder/Burrock forces located just outside the Kerensky Cluster just off the Exodus Road

But the problem with the Society was they were broken into cells and were located everywhere any scientist caste of the Homeworlds had cells of them - they even had factories on Strana Mechty right under the Clans noses.

They were able to get away with it because other Clans caused the confusion

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

You could always use the old FASA system, which is not too far from the Pentagon, allowing your combined Clan forces to strike there very quickly.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

FASA is definitely a good choice, but as DC mentioned, the Society was EVERYWHERE.

Yeah like the plague and if I remember right the Society was split between Etienne Balzac's Society and the Coyote's Society. His Planet was between the Jade Falcons Zone and their route to the Homeworlds.

Not quite, the Jade Falcon's major Society Cells were concentrated at Etienne, but also elsewhere. The Society was like a Clan-wide cancer. It was all over the place.

Oh I thought their was two basic groups. Unfortunately I am at work and do not have access to my books. When I get home I will look it up and see.

Originally they were the same group but Etienne had his own plans for the Society - can't remember if it was stated but I got the impression the Society in the Homeworlds began to see Etienne as a bit of a liability and hung him out to dry.

The falcons took the extreme route wiping out their Scientist caste.

In the Homeworlds the only Clans that really supported the Society were the Coyotes and the Burrocks (within Clan Star Adder).  Tameron became a hub of the Society as did the tainte worlds which the Burrocks pretty much took over and rebuilt.  However they had cells in all the Clans on all the worlds, even Strana Mechty as Knightmare said a cancer that spread like a plague (mixing metaphors I know)

Must admit I loved How the Coyotes turned it around in the end cutting down the Society Elements within them emerging as a "pure Clan" the others happy for it to happen it appears.

I just need to get The Reaving Supplemental PDF to round up the Homeworlds info
