Unreferenced date December 2009 in Anne McCaffrey s Dragonriders of Pern series of science fiction novels, the Oldtimers are a group of dragonriders who are brought forward in time . In the Dragonriders series, Pern is subject to periodic incursions of Thread Pern Thread , a voracious and deadly space borne organism that devours any organic matter it touches. Defending the population from Threadfall are Dragons Pern dragons who can breathe fire to singe the Thread from the sky. In McCaffrey s first Pern novel, Dragonflight , the dragonriders of Pern are concerned that they are not sufficiently numerous to fight the imminently arriving Thread. In the novel s climax, Weyrwoman Lessa brings 1,800 dragons and their riders plus support staff and equipment forward in time 400 Turns years , thereby ensuring a sufficiently large force to fight Thread. In later books of the series, the appellation Oldtimers is given to those who came forward from the past. Rebellion and Exile When the Oldtimers were brought forward, they were used to matchless respect from Holders and Craftsmen. After their arrival in the present, this led to dissent among the common folk of Pern who respected the dragonmen, but no longer believed them entitled to every woman and craft that they desired. The Oldtime Weyrleaders considered themselves to be superior to the other Pernese, and would not listen to reason. Eventually, in the novel Dragonquest , F lar fought a duel with one of the Oldtimer leaders. Upon his victory, any Oldtimers who would not accept F lar s leadership of Pern were exiled to the Southern Continent. The consequent use of the phrase Oldtimer referred only to those who had been exiled. McCaffrey s The White Dragon recounts other efforts of the Oldtimers to reassert themselves on Pern, the most important of which is the foiled theft of a Queen dragon s egg. In later novels the Oldtimers become less important as their numbers diminished through attrition. Category Dragonriders of Pern ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 In the series of books Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey , all forms of human knowledge are maintained by one or more crafthalls . Based loosely on the medieval system of guilds, the crafthall system on Pern is designed to maintain both theoretical and practical knowledge across a broad area in the absence of widespread printing, advanced communications, or record keeping technology. History of the Crafthall system Pern did not have time to establish systems of learning before the calamities of the First Pass however, pre colonization plans included a system similar to the Crafthall system. Originally, the Crafthalls were centralized as a University at Fort Hold, built around the computer databanks available there. With the breakdown of the available computers and the loss of electrical power at the beginning of the Second Pass Dragonseye , there was little point in continuing to confine the scholars of Pern away from the subjects of their study. Contrariwise, there were political and economic reasons to distribute the Crafts around the settlements of the Northern Continent. As a result, the Halls drifted apart physically. Over time, this led to the Halls adopting the same philosophy and politics of autonomy that already dominated the Holds by the Eighth Pass, this trend had led to the breakdown of nearly all cross craft technical collaboration.
