[QUOTE]Originally posted by TerraZ: [QB] Well, here are my thought on the subject... 1) I remember reading a possible story by a fan in which an Earth spaceship crossed inside Romulan territory for peace talks or something. However, the Romulans probably panicked (xenophobia and all) and killed the crew and reverse-enginereed the warp drive to equip there own ships. Hence they did not have it before the war but quickly catched up. It might explain why they lost, since their own warp drive would still have been primitive due to lack of understanding. 2) It probably had warp drive since those definitely look like warp nacelles and it couldn't have crossed the neutral zone without it. 3) I'd probably go with a small Federation (1000 ly) and the fact that maybe they had primitave warp technology but during the settlement on their new worlds, they probably used all the technology they had to survive and build a suitable colony. 4) Probably close to the Romulan Homeworlds since without warp drive, they couldn't have had a vast empire at the time. When they did get it, they must have moved quickly toward Earth, hence the reference in "Homefront". 5) I don't think the Romulans would have mounted a full scale assault on Earth. They probably came quite close and caused heavy damage to a few cities or to orbital installations before being destroyed or pushed back. 6) I prefer to think that Humans weren't the agressors. Please see 1). 7) I think an alliance of all "reasonable" races in almost certain. As for the Vulcans, in "Balance of Terror", they did not know the Romulans were the exiled ones. So, there probably were no real face-to-face contact during the war, hence more a war in space. 8) Like I said, it was the Romulans who started the war out of fear so the Federation was probably founded to guard against further Romulans xenophobia. 9) If they (both Earth and Romulans) didn't have subspace radio, I'm pretty sure they didn't have subspace sensors as well. 10) Like Sol System said, they probably had a few big subspace communication arrays with huge antennas and the like, meaning Earth planets probably had subspace radio but starship had not. Hope that helps. Nice work on your Starfeet Museum page. It's really great but I just have a comment to make. You seem to include elements that have never been canon like Starfleet Marines, combat suits and the like. It expands the Star Trek Universe, but it loses some authenticity. Great work nevertheless. I really admire your work. Keep adding to it. That's an order! [/QB][/QUOTE]
