a small item of future history

I used to own a whole lance of these in lead. I just found a note I wrote many moons ago when I was researching the history of the Successor States setting, the background fluff for BattleTech.

Here's what it says:
2305-2309 War between the Sian Supremacy and the Capellan Hegemony.

2449-3049 The BattleMech Era

It's the second item that floored me a few moments ago. That's exactly six centuries of giant robot slugfests. Hot damn!

    I originally read that as "2305-2309 War between the SIMIAN Supremacy", which coolifies it further by a factor of 9.

    You're right. The Simian Supremacy is an utterly awesome couple of words to pair together.
