Bezuapan
Bezuapan, Mexico is where the Olmec Artifacts are found. For "cover", the archeological site is turned into a mine owned by the Garza García mining company, a front for the CIA.
Himalia
Before going to Hektor, Sakir lives at a base on Jupiter's moon, Himalia. Himalia is used as a simulation of Earth. The simulation runs 84 years behind actual time on Earth, thus allowing Sakir to be prepared for life on Earth in 1969. Most of the residents of Himalia are robots.
Hektor
Asteroid in Jupiter's L4 Lagrangian point. Site of a space base commanded by Deltarshi. This is the main location from which time travel missions to Earth are initiated. Sometimes a similar facility at Patroclus is also used.
Patroclus
An asteroid at Jupiter's trailing Lagrangian point. Also has a facility for time travel, but Hektor is the primary launch point for time travel missions.
Solatun
A planet in a galaxy in the Shapley Supercluster. Solatun is quite habitable with lush vegetation in some areas. It is about the size of Earth. It is rich in mineral and other natural resources. There are no permanent residents on Solatun, but sometimes visiting Huaoshy return.
Solatun is the origin world of the Huaoshy. Tulghik is the a member of the Huaoshy species that appears in Apollo 23.
The Huaoshy have existed for millions of years. They reached Earth's technology level equivalent of the 1990's about 600 million years ago. The Huaoshy long ago attained a physical symbiosis with nanotalic elements that give them greatly extended life spans and the ability transfer their memories between bodies.
