D'oh, <i>of course</i> there are listings. These seems to apply for BA as well: "# 35: War is good for business." "# 76: Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies." "# 117: You can't free a PZ from water." [There seems to be a mistake in the original.

And finally: "# 65: Win or lose, there's always Hyperian beetle snuff." Now I know roughly where Hyperion is, but I suspect BA will have to figure out which coordinates Hyperian has. Just in case.
