Just a few questions that have come up while thinking about role playing games and the C.J. Cherryh universe:

1) What happens when crew members of Mazian's fleet grow old?

It doesn't happen: (1) Jump stretches the lifespan. (2) Rejuv(?) stretches the lifespan. (3) The war was "only" 30 years.
If none of the Mazianni was older than biological 40 years when the fleet was build, they would be 75 at the end of the war - if they had spent all their time in realspace. The drugs that prevent aging keep people fit nearly until they die.

As Onno points out, they haven't gotten old yet within the timespan of any of Cherryh's books.
