And yeah, there is no proof he went there at all. Maybe just a cover up for...what?!?

The Abbey is probably on a small moon of its own, kinda like the Celtic habit of building on islands. Either it's a Spanish mission style place,

or it's a big, scary Rievaulx type job. Something like that might even be a space-station of its own. The Brothers of the Void, in a glass cathedral floating against the stars.

Something mad and craggy like the Cathar castles would be fun. Or that place (Mostar?) where the monks had to get up to the entrance in baskets.

I still have this picture of somewhere on a mountain top, early morning, Book and the Abbot bent over a chess-board. (And the Abbot is definitely Morgan Freeman.)

When in doubt, go to the source. I spoke with Jose (writer on 'Trash' and 'Ariel') and Bathgate Abbey is NOT on Ariel. Shepherd was dropped off before they traveled to Ariel. And before you ask, no, he never picked a world for Bathgate. It's just NOT on Ariel.

So at least we know it isn't on Ariel.

If it were me, I'd put it close. I always assumed it was in the same system as Ariel, so they wouldn't have to back track too far to pick him up. I'd put it on Albion, because of the Great Britain & Scotland tie-in by name.

How did you bump into Jose?
You're talking Molina, right?

---

Yes, Molina. We're chasing him for a guest slot at upcoming conventions, so I used the opportunity to ask him about Bathgate. The question had come up elsewhere recently, so I shared the answer in a few places.

Have you asked where Kowlon Fed Base is, or Kaylee's home?

Wow. Tim responded really fast. I asked him where Kaylee was born and raised. Sorry his response doesn't answer the oft debated question...

"damn, I wish I could. I wanted it to feel like a remote "rock" as Mal says -- so I never even gave it name it was such a backwater."
