     You are quite right, very different, I am just extending the
current
UN into the future.   Making the orginization even more corrupt than it
currently is.	To quote Jon "in the FT universe there are no good
guys".

     As far as the PT episode:
1) The momey for the development of the new weapon had to come from 
somewhere, how about skimming it from the humanitarian and disaster
funds.
2) Why was a new weapon being developed for starship combat by an
organization that has no starships? 
3) Why does the UN have a weapons program at all?

Just some things to think about!

Bye for now,
