It would be nice.

However, the Haven equivalent in UF is -VERY- badly in flux, as there are no current story plans requiring it or its people. The best vision I've had of it in UF- and this is so unofficial it's not funny- is as a part of an older personal vision, the New Paris system.

New Paris is not a world, it's a solar system where not less than -SIX- M-class worlds exist. Haven (or, if I change my mind, Nouveau Paris) was the only one to be scouted by the robot probe, and it turned out to be the worst of the lot. You also have Aquitaine, Burgundy, Normandy, Britanny, and the two largest moons of the system's gas giant, Sardinia and Corsica.

The New Paris system secedes from the United Galactica during the economic turmoil following Sonfall. Before then, it had become -the- tourist/vacation mecca of the Galactica. During the early Exile, it became a conquering star empire, but by 2365 it had been checked, stopped, and effectively destroyed except for its home system, and efforts by various parties to either bring peace or gain advantage left the system with no fewer than five governments claiming some or all of the system, all at war with each other.

The place of the canonical Havenite commanders in such a situation is, to say the least, very fluid, but it doesn't admit easily of extraction therefrom.
