Lancaster Pennsylvania.  There was previously also a West Coast Con
but this past year it was more of a Middle East Con.

We have top men working on it.	:-)  Rumor has it that Jon is more or
less happy with the basic design and just needs to write it.

UN (http://star-ranger.com/UNSCpreview.htm ) has grasers, anti-matter
torpedos and three-row hulls.  The Japanese will have some kind of
anime wavegun-ish weapon, plus a a horde of fighters and missiles.
The OutRim Coalition will have a EMP weapon to disable enemy ships.
New Israel may have stealth.  The Islamic Fed will probably have
standard weapons but will make use of More Thrust missiles.

FT3 would be Full Thrust version 3.
