	I think the Crimson Corporation should NOT be listed as the Druuge Membership; it is their government, not an interplanetary league like the Alliance or Hierarchy. Currently, it is like saying that the United States is a member of the Government of the United States. I think the Druuge Membership should be listed as Neutral, because they are neither Hierarchy nor do they join the Alliance — and they are basically at war with Earth after the Captain steals the Precursor Bomb. Additionally, the Slylandro and Melnorme are basically neutral too; the former going so far as having warm relations with the Ur-Quan! So i think we could hav a Neutral page that lists the Druuge, Slylandro, and Melnorme.

 I don't have the energy to edit this, but to say that the Druuge have absolutely no conception of love or honor or loyalty is going a bit far -- they do seem to have such concepts in their culture, just distorted by their general distrust of altruism.

	~~== Value of Trader wreck ==~~

	The value of a Melnorme Trade wreck is stated as 450 RU. I'm wondering how you can know this given that it appears to be impossible to enter conflict with and therefore destroy and salvage them. Is there something I missed in the game?
