Hm, neither very handy for Ashford the intervening weekend, so overseas Redeemers will have to travel... By the way, I've lost the note saying when the next video (Hostage/Countdown, by my reckoning) was due out. Could you remind me? I've still got my surplus Shadow/Weapon and Horizon/Pressure Point, if anyone's interested.

I'm not sure what led to the formation of the Federation government, but there is mention of "atomic wars" and "pre-atomic" during the series, which leads me to believe that it was a significant point in B7 history. One might also speculate that the domes were built to protect the populace from something.
