*On page 82 the ''Ace of Spades'' is said to enter a low geostationary orbit around Locanio. Planets only ever have a single altitude for geostationary orbits though, for example there isn't a low and a high geostationary orbit for Earth; it only happens for satellites 35,786 km above the equator. On Earth, this is considered a medium orbit, but given Laconia has a thin atmosphere, a geostationary orbit of Laconia would likely be in a high orbit because the atmosphere doesn't go as high up as Earth's. A low geostationary orbit would not exist around Laconia. | *On page 82 the ''Ace of Spades'' is said to enter a low geostationary orbit around Locanio.
