I now have enough 'net back to be a bit more specific. Here is the
start of the main first storyline where they feature:

http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20010514.html

For the impatient, Howard's version of the Dyson Sphere comes in here:

http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20010702.html

From the second page (and bringing me a bit back on topic for the
list): "The F'shergl-Ganni have built several of these spheres, which
they call 'Buuthandi'. That word is the shorterned form of an ancient
F'shergl-Ganni phrase.... Literally: 'This was expensive to build'."
