Although I lost interest in Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda series somewhere in the third season, I couldn't help notice how many Niven creations had been incorporated, such as Kzin (Magog), Puppeteers (Vedrans) and even the fleet-of-worlds (Magog wold ship). I do recall Niven writing an animated Star Trek episode starring the Kzin. Other than that, I'm not familiar with the extent of their relationship.
I remember reading Ringworld when I was 9 or 10, and Louis Wu's description of rishathra is forever burned in my mind. My parents thought it was good I should be reading such thick books at the time. Needless to say, I didn't discuss anything I read with them.
