  Since the timelines are different, ie T2k (and 2300??) has a limited nuclear
war and no Vilani on Barnard and MegaT has no nuke war but lots of Vilani at
Barnard, I don't actually see the possibilities of a crossover, unless we are
talking about some other planet than Earth. And even then it could be done
with the origianl rules.
  (Gashikan after the Sack of Gashikan, for example)

  'Dark' is even further from MegaT than T2k and I'd go so far as to say that
I cannot see the justification of a crossover without some major verbal
acrobatics.
