[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] The Okuda date of 2218 was based on Spock's comment (in 'The Undiscovered Country')of the fact that, in 2293, there had been 'over 70 years' of hostilities between the two powers. He took 70 years previous (2223) and subtracted a few more years for randomness sake. I dont believe there is any evidence in 'First Contact' (TNG) that stated it was earlier.. Picard said that Klingon first contact had gone disastrously and thats why they 'stake out' new cultures rather than walk up and introduce themselves. This doesnt place it before the birth of the Federation, for even after the 2160s there are numerous examples of cultures being contacted carelessly (the Iotians by the Horizon, the Betans by the Archon, etc...) If the fact that Picard had pointed out the Klingon first contact as the one that made the Federation establish policy towards the Prime Directive, then it most certainly wouldnt have been in 2151, since those other instances occured after it. However, he could just have pointed it out as an example of the worst thing that has ever come out of a first contact, in which case we are all right with continuity: 2151: First Klingon/Human contact. Sometime 2214-2222 ('over 70 years' before ST:VI): Hostilities begin between the Federation and the Klingons It just seems odd that we coexisted with the nearby and pissed off Klingons for some 60 odd years before actual war drums sounded and the long on-off hot war/cold war began. The only reason i typed all this here is i dont believe that 'First Contact' presupposes such an early date as you wrote (unless theres some dialogue i overlooked) Unfortunately I dont have the episode or the chronology here so ill wait to seewho knows for sure what that episode said. PS.. I like Enterprise, but I do feel the the long-time Star Trek fan is getting the ass end of the stick here, but i will save that for another thread [/QB][/QUOTE]
