I have always wondered:  Where did the dreadnoughts come from?  I know they
are in the Tech Manual, but they were never mentioned in the series
(were they?). Who had the 'authority' to put them into the manual if they
were not in the series? 
For that matter, were does all this other stuff come from that is in
the manual?  I would much prefer to see a manual that stuck to the
series (even the animated, but that is stretching it).
