Dendarii Free Mercenary Fleet

homage of a concept by Lois McMaster Bujold with only slight modifications to fit our continuity

The Dendarii Free Mercenary Fleet may be named after the small planet Dendarii which belonged to Lord Danar Vorpadaran — I think it still does, but right now it glows in the dark from repeated nuclear bombardment — or possibly from New Dendarii, a backwater gas-mining station on a hyperspace dead end that got converted into a Rebel/Pirate/Survivor base during The Long Night.

 

Whatever the origin, they are a corporation registered out of Tallaan System, the first stop for inbound traffic on the Giju Passage. Back when the Giju Passage was navigable.

 

So, actually, were they registered (maybe under a different name) before the Long Night? Or did they pick that home system because the Dendarii Free Mercenaries seem to be united by fifty liters of loony in a five liter bag?

Having found this while looking for data on the actual group... I chuckled, because of course another reality has to have the Dendarii in it. And Miles. ("Fifty liters of loony in a five liter bag" about sums it up nicely on the manic days. actually....)

Delighted to share! Along with our regularly scheduled series rereads, I fact-checked myself a lot via https://vorkosigan.fandom.com/wiki/Vorkosigan_Wiki and dendarii.com ... which I ought to linkify up above as direct credits. I thought I'd got 'em everywhere! I will go through these pages in July and re-check my attributions.
