	Yeah, you've got me.  Basically, interstellar civilization
collapsed
when the FTL drive being used abruptly stopped working.  Now that it's
functioning again, everyone is cheerfully trying to murder his neighbor
again.	Ah, the joys of civilization!  Actually, as far as the
Juggernaut
goes, it's not the tech that's the problem, it's the fact that nobody
currently has the money/resources available to duplicate it.
