Horhe asked Christopher G. Nuttall:

In one of the latter Ark Royal books, a character remarks that the UK alone has 200 colonist-carriers, each one carrying a hundred thousand people. Somewhere else, I read fifty thousand people. Regardless, even if a colony transport mission can take several years, that is a lot of people to haul. How many inhabitants does the UK have to afford sending off 10-20 mln every few years? PS When will we get Heirs of Cat. 4?

Christopher G. Nuttall A lot of people . Exact number undisclosed because it might trip me up.

I don't know about a fourth Heirs. Let the publisher know if you want it.
