Just because something has 'ium' on it doesn't mean it's an element, boys.
As for the Devereaux, twas a *research* vessel (a planetological research vessel
), not a commercial mining craft.
The Kilrathi 'Assembly of Clans' is what we (Confed) recognize as the government of the former Kilrathi Empire, although they're currently in a 5-way civil war to detemine the new imperial clan. The Treaty of Torgo let them keep their original systems (and apparently returned ones we'd captured), but it required that they relinquish planets taken from us by them. *Presumably* races like the Varni were also freed.
As for Pasqual... *groan*, just because Melek went there in 2673 does not a governmental seat make (G) We don't even know if Melek was still Chancellor in '73.

Acually Chronium IS a word. The definition is...A blue-white metallic element found naturally only in combination and used especially in alloys and in electroplating
Quarto: I didn't pay attention to chemestry class. I just got the words off a bottle of vidamins.
Iradium is also a word, I just spelled it wrong. Is is normally asoiated with radiation.

You might be a redneck if...You refer to the time you won a free case of oil as the "day my ship came in."
