The Novas, Strategi, Streamers and the Erasers briefly mentioned in Chapter 23 are plugs from a RPG setting I devised around that time. There are four other groups, whose names and details I don't remember and the file is in this here HD in my hands I can't access until I fix my computer, which I plan on doing this week. Then I'll be able to add more details to the articles.

Cool. Whenever you can--if the eight of them call all fall under one big branch, that might be helpful in the organization.
