RE: [FH] Vectorverse

Can we steal from literature and other products?  Or does this need to
be
all original material?	If the former I claim the Swords Worlds (H. Beam
Piper and Traveller).  If the later, I'm working on it...

I'd rather keep it here, since part of the objective is to get wide
acceptance for an alternate setting, and a wider audience is good.  If
multiple List members whine about traffic on this thread, then I'd
take you up on it.

Nation owners first; national character (including economy and such)
will drive the choices the navy makes.	Any takers?

Don't know how much "entirely new" stuff we can generate, but hope to
do a better job of covering the source than, say, Weber did.
