[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The two concerns could sort of cancel out each other. If Sulu has to spell out for his pals who the Kzinti are or were, then it only makes sense that nobody else ever mentions them, either. IIRC, Sulu says the Kzinti lost four wars because Earth had warp, echoing the original Known Space history. Surely it would be possible for a pre-Archer Starfleet armed with mere plasma cannon to outfight four sublight invasion fleets, even humiliatingly so? So the Kzinti would think they had fought four glorious wars. The Earthlings would think they stopped four waves of particularly odious illegal aliens in a fairly successful immigration control operation. For Sulu to call the engagements "wars" would merely be courtesy shown in the presence of a dozen sets of imposing claws, even if they were attached to slouching cats clad in pink. "Slaver Weapon" takes place in the late 2260s, that much is commonly agreed, yes? The "200 yrs" reference could still be taken to mean something like 2101, giving Earth time to build some plausible defenses after WWIII. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
