Ian, There is a canon mention of the Gurkhas in existence. It is entirely conjectural as to how they exist. My proposition (and I even got a world set aside for it by Nyrath the Indispensable on the GZGverse maps of space) is that at some point there is a mass lift of dissident elements from Nepal before it is absorbed by the ESU (which is organized by the British). And that Gurkhas currently operate from their base on Gorkha as well as within India (part of the ESU), from Brunei (part of the IF with ties to the NAC), and from other places that the Emperor (formerly King of Nepal) of Gorkha deems appropriate (and revenue generating). Besides, they have _very_ cool figures that I spent a time (with a few other listers) organizing and getting sculpted, which is all the argument we gamers really need now isn't it? Ayo, Gurkhali! For a (we hope) complete look at the canonical history of the GZGverse, you may refer to: http://www.stargrunt.ca/settings_hist/gzg_timeline/gzg_timeline.htm Also, I dropped you an e-mail offlist and never got a reply.... it may not have arrived. But www.stargrunt.ca would also love to host your map (another mirror!).:)
