Actually, Imsk isn't among those worlds.  Invasion! itself featured
Imskians working alongside the Durlans.  Also, Btgzl(sp?) was never, to
my knowledge, a human-descended world.  Also, Thanagar is obviously not
of human descent, unless you want to argue that humans are a long lost
Thanagarian colony.  (The other possibility involves the Atlantean
spaceship sent off a million years back.  It could have conceivably
seeded some of the worlds with humanoids, such as Thanagar and Rann, or
even Imsk and Btgzl.)
