Very nice History Sir, I learned alot from that. must have taken you awhile to gather all that information.

[Myles Keogh]

It is very, very cool. I love the 'future history' of the 7th SCS as well. The Siege of New York, Battle of Betazed and Romulan actions are worthy of being written as books.

Very nice job!
