Gene also gave a fascinating lecture about how he "talked" with the characters when he was developing the framework of the series. Afterwards Gene answered questions from the audience, one of which concerned the number of starships in the various fleets. His answer: As many as he felt like. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX ..!tektronix!reed!omen!caf Omen Technology Inc 17505-V NW Sauvie IS RD Portland OR 97231 Voice: 503-621-3406 Modem: 503-621-3746
