		The tails are both prehensile when flat and usually carried folded into a furry 'tube' which appears much as a Terran cat tail would.
		They do not, except in the rarest of circumstances, as both their ethos of bonding and strong inhibitions preclude this, probably as an evolutionary adaptation to social living as telepath/empaths.

		Honor Harrington is a fictional character, the eponymous heroine of a series of science fiction books set in the "Honorverse", written by David Weber and published by Baen Books.
		These are fitting parallels in that during much of Harrington's career her native Star Kingdom of Manticore is at war with the neighboring People's Republic of Haven, a conflict that bears more than passing resemblance to the antagonism between the British Empire and France during the Napoleonic Wars.
		She is a yeoman; i.e., not descended from one of the very first Manticoran colonists who became the star kingdom's nobility.

	Author David Weber Interviewed.
		Given the constraints of the technology I set up, yes, it is possible to "cross the T" in naval warfare in the "Honorverse" (as some of my readers on the side of the pond have christened it).
		It takes a fairly incompetent or completely out of luck opponent to let you get away with it, but the tactics are workable -- especially at relatively short range -- given the weapons and maneuvering systems I established.
		At the moment, I'm calling at the "Saganami Island" series, and it will focus on very junior officers who were Honor's students at the Academy as she was Raoul Courvoisier's student and protegee.

		This is the first book of such works; it includes one tale each by David Drake, S.M. Stirling, and by Weber himself, including a lengthy pieces on the series background; this latter is, I imagine, the place where Weber goes to look stuff so that he doesn't make foolish mistakes.
		The first tale is called "A Beautiful Friendship"; it concerns the first contact between humans and treecats on the planet Sphinx.

		There is no such thing as a boarding action in Honorverse, that what happens when you wrap gravity waves around you ship as defence.
		I ask because since Sphinx is gonna be a prime target, I wonder if a treecat could sense that something was not right with certain individuals like they did with that assassin trying to take out IIRC then Princess Elizabeth at the Sphinx Forrestry Service building?
		But it is smarter to use missiles for a BDZ, their wedges will havew the same effect and they move faster, adding 130 tons at.99 c of kinetic energy to the damage the wedge causes.

	New Manticoran Shipyards
		The raw materials that an Honorverse extraction center needs to produce the components which go into Honorverse warships can be extracted from a huge number of sources, including asteroids.
		And even given the size of the ships built in the Honorverse, the resource base provided by an entire star system to a society which can generate gravity, or counter-gravity, at will is literally incalculable.
		It might become a problem eventually, but not until they finished using up not only the asteroid belts of both components of the binary star system, but also the moons of the various planets.

		It didn't do a thing about her mass, and any object fell at over thirteen meters per second per second in Sphinx's gravity, which meant she would hit the ground just as fast and with just as much momentum as if she'd had no countergrav at all.
		But what she could do was let herself down the stay, whose torn anchorage would never have supported her normal weight.
		Cathy Montaigne is the first believable Liberal that the Honorverse ever sees, and this book deals with the adventures of her partner and daughter (and a minor Royal) on a nominally allied planet of Manticore; dealing with slavery and intrigue.
