[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] Valid points, but we don't really know enough about the evacuation of Earth (quick or slow, organised or frantic, etc) to really assume anything. Also, we don't know enough (or anything!) about the way the colonies were founded to assume anything about the prominent people in the first wave who assumed power. Although you're right that if there was a lot of chaos surrounding the establishment of the colonies in the immediate period of the Earth evacuation then any mechanism of acquiring and justifying power could and would have been used, irrespective of accuracy. The easiest was to assume power is to identify yourself with a pre-existing legitimate power, even if that system was very different to that which you replace it with (look at Stalin's appropriation of Peter the Great and Ivan the Terrible). Can't belive we got all of that out of one small error in speech (which could just have been condescention on Sir Warwick's part). Ah, the joys of geekdom... [/QB][/QUOTE]
