I'm not sure Dirty Pair *is* that significant a part of the setting, aside from Kei and Yuri.

Seeing MKR wouldn't hurt either, but probably isn't as important. But since SotS is sort of like a continuation of RGU... yeah, that'd help.

I think part of the problem is that the Core page explicitly says "They should be read first if this is your first visit to the UF universe."

I'm pretty sure that was put there before SotS was even started. A lot of the stuff that's been written since then stands on it's own better, but the prior stuff I think tends to assume knowledge of the events in Core.

Okay, okay. So...how is this any different from if Kilovolt was a completely original character?

That's the tricky part. We don't know.

Some references in UF are there just for perceived awesomeness factor, and because people enjoy it when they spot a reference. Others times, what looks like a side reference turns out to be a prelude to a more significant use of that source. (It's hard to give examples of this, because they'd be spoilers for later SotS developments... o.O )

And at this point, it's way too early to tell what's going to happen with this particular one.
