When FASA published their Star Trek RPG they included as canon all the episodes, the movies, and most of the animateds, but specifically excluded that episode, since Kzin, Slavers, Stasis Fields, etc. open up too large a can of worms. I totally agree with them that Kzin belong in Known Space, NOT Star Trek. Besides, the Kzin *have* a homeworld, and their females aren't sentient - Farrendahl could hardly be Kzin! I hope she shows up again someday... "Speaker to Trekkies" ..!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher
