	The planet that was blown up was Borka, not the Grinder. :)
Also, IIRC, the witchlight marauders were never used during IUW.  I think
it says somewhere that the war ended before the marauders were fully
activated, or something like that.

	As far as I know, they first appeared in WCC.

	I guess I should make myself a little more clear as to where I
stand on the Unhuman War issue.  I'm working on a history that makes
sense and is realtively consistent.  TSR's version is not.  In the
process of making mine, I'm looking at the facts presented in the
official material, and trying to come up with a history that includes
as many of those facts as possible.  Pump helms, which are mentioned
in only one suppliment, don't fit this theory... :)
