Copyright Space Waste, 1988? What is this thing?

Also, "spermal goad"?? That sounds like the name of a metal band where the members all wear spiked codpieces.

As opposed to the Colonial Marines Technical Manual.

Not sure the source but there are some pretty glaring errors.... like "Coprica" instead of "Caprica"

Nah, that's just Sagittaran dialect. They tend to think of Capricans as just kind of shit.

Aaaaaaaand now I gotta go back to ebay and see if I can find one of those viper pilot jackets they used to sell in that little ad in the back of Starlog. I saw one at a yard sale once, and I'm still kicking myself for not buying it.

Why do Sagittaria, Virgon, and Gemina have the same seals?
posted by bryon at 11:52 PM on April 11, 2017

According to this they are supposed to have different colors:

SAGATTARIA - Grey
VIRGON - Purple
GEMINA - Pinkish/Orange
