The flipside is that if we stretch the timeline too much then there is time for things to happen - like people actually figuring out Handwavium enough for mass-production and the like, or wavetech ships letting the 'Danes project force.
I strongly advise against our timeframe being more than 5 years after Handwavium turns up.
My personal recommendation would be moving the Treaty of KandorCon to 1 year after the first Convention in space, as by this point the 'Danelaw has concluded that the proto-nation(s) aren't going to collapse and some treaty is better than no treaty.
While I'd suggest the Treaty of Kandor-Con be no more than 2 years prior to the SOS-dan's convention, there's more scope for variability there.D for Drakensis
