Au contraire. Humanity (Terrans) discovered Jump 2 before the Vilani (who had
Jump 1) or was that 2 and 3? Anyway the Terrans had a tech advantage, and they
kicked the crap out of the Vilani. This is pretty
well documented in the Traveller background (I think - but then I've
read so much Traveller that I'm not sure which book has this info).

> That's the way the game background in Imperium makes them <shrug>
