GU2 Defines them as Horst and Deemi.
We could probably add Easter to this list.

I think I remember the Cambrian Explosion being closer to
560 MYA, but it's been a while since I read about it.

I have altered the entry on Horst. I no longer think SeJ's GURPS Uplift 2nd
ed and the A4P Encyclopedia are incompatible.
An entry for Easter has been added.

Terragens have 10 colonies and their homeworld lease on Earth.

Dear Alberto:
The new colony will be an A+/B- world in orbit around Alpha Centuri A. It
will be called Easter. Its residents will be called 'Pascuans'.
Before do a write-up I needed some dates, so I re-collated the timeline.
Let me know what you think.
1) I got my old timeline and fixed it.

Sort of :-)
They are 11 to 23 AU apart [due to the orbit's eccentricity], which
is something between Saturn [10 AU] and Uranus [19 AU], but
less than Neptune [30 AU].

Ok, the _technical_ names of the stars that make up the Alpha Centauri
system are Alpha Centauri A [the Sun-like star], Alpha Centauri B
[almost Sun-like, but smaller; it's still in the spectral class that usually
is considered fit to have Earth-like planets] and Alpha Centauri C aka

Alberto:
I come up with 10 major Terragen colonies. The problem is that Galactics
wouldn't count Mars or Venus as proper leaseholds, so I get 8 leases.
In fact, my exepectation is that if you asked a Galactic how many leaseholds
their race had they would only report their Homeworld, B, and C c
