History
There were many arguments between the Browncoats and Heinleinians over "ownership" of Ganymede in the early days of the Fen Diaspora, based on the factions' respective source fiction. The Fivers eventually got them to share.
The 2014 Convention was held in Serenity Valley. Because someone leaked to the Boskonians that the Whole Fenspace Catalog was to be released at that Convention, it became one of the largest battles[1] in the Boskone War.
