[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Well, "warp" has nothing to do w/ a matter/antimatter reaction, if that's what you're thinking. Warp drive simply refers to the use of a subspace field to get from point A to point B faster than the speed of light. You can power it w/ a M/A reaction, forced quantum singularities, nuclear fusion (probably what the Romulans were using during TOS, given Scotty's "impulse power" line in BoT), or whatever you can find that will generate enough energy to make enough plasma to react w/ the warp coils and produce an effective subspace field. As for the Vulco-Romulan War, my preference is to say that it lasted from around 2050 to around 2150. This would be soon before the Terro-Romulan War, which might explain why the Vulcans didn't involve themselves in that. Of course, there are equally satisfactory times at which to place it, also. Oh, and for anyone who's going to try to reference Dougherty's line in ST9 about Romulan thugs and warp drive... I don't think he meant that these "thugs" were the first ones to introduce warp drive to the Romulan civilization. I thik he may have just meant that they brought about a much more [i]effective[/i] warp drive (perhaps the introduction of artificial singularities, rather than fusion power). However, I don't remember exactly what the wording was, so this may or may not fit what he said. [/QB][/QUOTE]
