Very true. The whole concept of "Canon" just refers to the Tuffleyverse. 

There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't use FT for an EE-Doc 
Smith "Galactic Patrol" game, a Rodenberry "Star Trek"-TOS game, see
what 
happens when Battlestar Galactica and its Vipers takes on the Empire
with its 
TIE-fighters, or whatever you want.

Certain weapons - such as the Nova Cannon, Cloaking devices etc - don't
appear 
in the Tuffleyverse as far as we know, but are included specifically as
"genre" 
weapons so you can play Space Battleship Yamato or whatever without
having to 
figure out new rules.
