• must have the most devastating weaponry ever seen in a Confed fighter
• integrated addition of a jump drive and a cloaking device

"A Week Later..." ;-) Start of Privateer Righteous Fire; gun stolen. (A week should be enough?)
NOTE: Needless to say, the "One Year Later" legend at the start of Righteous Fire is an error. Privateer
happens in 2669, and a year later would put us at 2670, which would be peace time; but all indications are
in Righteous Fire, that the war keeps heating up and getting worse. Kat superweapons, Terrel's missions,
including one where you meet the Kilrathi 6th Fleet, Bar rumors of carrier losses... Now, it could be argued
that going from a year to a week is "too much"; but IMO it isn't: An error is an error, big or small. 1+1=3
is not righter than 1+1=42. Both statements are equally wrong; and "a year later" is dead wrong.

Platolum is a laser and durasteel shard -proof alloy discovered on Ghorah Khar during excavations of the old Kilrathi base. Bryce Alloys found it when they found argonized platinum containers storing Xanius Moloride. The Xanius Molaride emitted above-infrared rays that contacted nickel-cadmium generators. The rays plus nickel made a new alloy. We're not sure if the platinum containers were involved, but the name seems to imply it. In the month of 2669.217, the alloys made an appearance on the UNXhange market.

”…The Coventry, flagship of his [Jason Bondarevsky's] beloved destroyer squadron [sic], had been heavily engaged in the fighting and nearly torn apart before the whole thing was through” (quoting False Colors verbatim).
Well, there's no such thing as a “destroyer squadron”, so this is open to creative interpretation, I guess…
Jason Bondarevsky is wounded when the TCS Coventry hits a mine on approach to Loki VI, escorting the Behemoth.
The bridge has been hulled and is decompressing. Jason is the only survivor on the bridge.
Janet [Sparks] McCullough leads the team that rescues him. Bondarevsky ended up losing his right arm.

While a few groups of Kilrathi rejected the Clan Assembly, and Melek's presumption at taking on its leadership, most of the present Kilrathi population cooperated with the new government, and are presently working together to rebuild their lives and their society. The new home planet of the Kilrathi was established on Pasqual X in 2672.”

The Belisarius Group plans to support an invasion of the Free Republic of the Landreich by Kal Shintahr Ukar dai Ragark lak Haka, by politically impeding Kruger's military buildup and dismissing his claims about kilrathi incursions.

Focusing on the Dover, it manages to destroy it.
With just the Juneau left, the Karga's systems are all failing, fighters can't be launched due to obstructions on both of its two launch bays. Admiral Largka Cakg dai Nokhtak, a cousin of the Emporer, orders his nephew and others to abandon ship, then tries to blow up the Karga but all power goes down before the countdown completes, but not before managing to destroy what's left of the Juneau with its turrets. Largka and what's left of the Karga's crew commit ritual suicide. Kilrathi and terran survivors land on a frozen moon of Vaku VII and decide to cooperate.
