In 2784, three days after Kerensky's legendary exodus, Jerome Blake had
reestablished the Prime, or First Circuit of the former SLCOMNET. The
planets of New Earth, Barnard, Alpha C, Bryant, Procyon, and Dieron
became the new First Circuit.
By the late 2850's, ComStar's efforts to strengthen and expand the vast
communications network had succeeded too well. Increased communications
had dramatically slowed transmission time. To decrease the load, Primus
Karpov increased the First Circuit to ten stations in 2857. The newest
members were Precentors Arcturus, Oriente, Altair, and Capella.
