What you know
Book 3: All These Worlds
- Ch 2Many Bobs were lost fighting the Others over the Pav, though backups exist.
- Ch 14Howard says that once the Others are dealt with, the Bobs are more likely to simply leave than take over.
- Ch 21The Bobs scatter 82 Eridani's printers and print heads on separate trajectories toward the colonies to keep them from Medeiros.
- Ch 33After despondency over losing Delta Pavonis 4, the Bobs are more determined than ever to strike back at the Others.
Book 4: Heaven’s River
- Ch 7Bobs are unpopular even on Vulcan and more so on Romulus, so Conan has curtailed his public appearances.
- Ch 7With fragmentation, Bobs have begun tracking chains of instantiation to catalogue behavioral traits across lineages.
- Ch 8At a moot, volunteers flock to help: Skippies on language, the Borg and a hardware group on androids, the Gamers on getting inside.
- Ch 20The Bobs keep a low-key industrial presence in the Poseidon system, outside official economic calculations, now under audit.
- Ch 24A couple of thousand Bobs are heading away from human space, some building stations, some just accelerating.
- Ch 30Only forty-eight percent of the Bobiverse is online; eighteen percent is Starfleet, which has been replicating aggressively.
- Ch 30The Bobs now number in the thousands, approaching tens of thousands.
- Ch 33Bobs in the moot hall form teams to catalogue Starfleet-held systems, plan defenses and retake them.
- Ch 45The Bobiverse has accumulated huge wealth as long-time owners of communications and production systems, possibly fueling human resentment.
- Ch 60Bob-controlled systems are now few, with Epsilon Eridani and Alpha Centauri the biggest.
- Ch 65Many Bobs leave right after the acrimonious moot, raising Bill's concern about lasting division.
- Ch 66The Bobiverse is fracturing: groups have firewalled subnets, casual visits are restricted, and moots are on hiatus.
- Ch 66Bobs are angrier at the Skippies over the unilateral ANEC deal than they were at Starfleet.
Book 5: Not Till We Are Lost
- Ch 1The Bobs now number in the tens of thousands, each by convention adopting a different name when created.
- Ch 22The Bobiverse's standing with bios has plunged since the Starfleet debacle, and colonies resist its resource claims.
- Ch 26After the Starfleet War lawsuits, the Bobs hid most of their wealth by converting assets; they remain collectively rich on every colony.
- Ch 58All members of the Bobiverse are automatically shareholders in Howard's business ventures.
- Ch 69The Bobiverse has kept cloaking technology secret from humans, giving them an advantage.
