The plot summary here is inaccurate. The US and Soviet explorers did not "use" the Minervans to carry out a war by proxy. They were unwillingly trapped into participating on opposite sides of a war between opposing Minervan groups that was already starting when they arrived. I will be happy to correct this if no one objects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.204.210.237 ( talk) 17:20, 8 September 2012 (UTC) reply
