^ Oh, no doubt.
And the Venture is a canonically established ship (in "The Way of the Warrior," among other places). I just decided to run with it.
Trust me, I'd like to think I know the ship inside and out now, save for the color of the carpet and the upholstery on the bridge.
It is 40 Eridani A for Vulcan's star.
Oh, what sad economic times we're in if honest, hard-working novelists can only afford to eat worms instead of crow.
KRAD, quick couple of questions. Are you doing annotations for ASD, and if so, when do you expect to have them up?
That's it?
That is a long-term plan, though some ships are going to be more adaptable than others.
Finished this book earlier this week. I had been reluctant to pick it up because I feared it would focus too much on President Bacco and I wasn't a fan of Articles of the Federation, and I wasn't all that bowled over by her Destiny scenes either, despite them being necessary. I also wasn't sure I would find Sonek Pran all that engaging.
I was pleasantly surprised. The Federation presidency stuff was kept to a minimum, Sonek Pran was engaging enough, and I liked KRAD's big-picture take of the post-Destiny landscape. It definitely left me wanting more of the Typhon Pact.
Since the Sisko/Tzenkethi novel might not see the light of day, hopefully they'll get fleshed out in the upcoming Typhon Pact series.
Question about the Kinshaya, are they supposed to favor bats or birds? Or neither. I got the impression they were a batlike species from their description, well that's how I pictured them anyway. Was that physical description also in "The Final Reflection" or an invention by KRAD?
The Kinshaya titles also seemed odd. So are do the military leadership hold military and religious roles? Is the Kinshaya govt. a theocracy?

which 2 comic books are you working on KRAD??
The Kinshaya were only briefly referenced in TFR, never seen. KRAD's description of them is original (and different from the one given in some role-playing game materials). To me, the description of the Kinshaya suggested that they somewhat resemble griffins.
The Vomnin in Orion's Hounds were built somewhat like gorillas and were facultative bipeds -- i.e. generally walked on all fours (on their knuckles) but could take a bipedal stance when they needed to use their hands. Their ships were thus designed with the consoles and controls close to the ground.
