The background is definitely different from what it should be at this stage in this future history series. A Service sends exploratory expeditions which are away for years at a time and therefore consist of married couples. The ship carries atomic weapons. This Star Ship had been a few weeks out from the obscure outpost of Avandar which has probably grown since then. There are too many stars for the Galactic Coordinators to be able to find ships that do not return. Expansion into this particular region had not been scheduled for two more centuries. None of this sounds like the stage the Psychotechnic History should be at so soon after the invention of the hyperdrive and even before the founding of the Stellar Union.

Kaor, Paul!
I dunno, with FTL tech there should be less, not more need for the crews of ships being married couples. Unless they went on journeys lasting years.
Ad astra! Sean
