I brought these pages back online due to someone wanting a little more information in a "Quick Run-Down." So as to obliging to their needs, as well as pulling these pages from the graveyard, here they are updated and ready to go. These pages will shrink and grow as I continue to edit them and add more information as I get time to do so.
