For many years, we only had a few warships retrofitted with the Peloran technologies.  They were the best of the best, the fastest and most powerful warships we possessed.  They went everywhere, visiting our furthest colonies, exploring new star systems outside The Wall, going where no Terran had gone before.  And they sometimes fought the Russians and Chinese, protecting our colonies when they could.  Unfortunately, they were too few to be everywhere.
