While the infodump states that Bolthole is "in a system on the far side of the Haven Sector with a population of hundreds of millions", "The Dark Fall" (part of Baen Free Stories 2018) states that the refuge system is about 200 light-years from Sol, and had about 2 billion of population.
Is this a known contradiction? Or RetCon? Or is "the far side of the Haven sector" meant to be only an "in-world guess of the manticorian intelligence services", and not a canonical statement of the author?
(I'm more concerned about the distance / position, than the population size.)
