[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] 1: I like the theory that their warp drives ran off fusion reactors. They had to have warp, and that fits with the "impulse power only" line. Earth's warp drives might have been operated on similar principles at the time of the war, so the fleets would have been more evenly matched. 2: They probably just got a workable warp (one with a M/ARA) from the Klingons. 3: Oddly enough, Romulus and Earth are rather close together (along with Qo'noS and Cardassia, with Bajor right in the middle. Shadow of things to come? Maybe the Romulans, Klingons, Bajor, and what's left of Cardassia should join the Federation in the next movie, and move the capital to Bajor. Just a thought...), so bad warp drives would be good enough to fight a war with. 4: There's no way to know. If I were writing the story, I'd say that the Romulans attacked first, and nearly defeated Earth very quickly, but then Tellar, Andor, and Vulcan joined the war and just as quickly beat back the Romulan fleet to their homeworlds. The Romulans then surrendered, to protect Romulus and Remus (Romii?). But that's just me. Something just occured to me. Remember the anomalous "Romii" on the viewer in BoT? That may just have been a major star system, leaving Romulus and Remus as planets in another system. 5: I think they just got really close. Martok said in "The Changing Face of Evil" (IIRC) that not even the Klingons had tried to attack Earth directly. 6: I think that both sides probably thought the other was the agressor. An Earth ship enters Romulan space, the Romulans try to commandeer it, and the Earth ship fights back. The Rommies return fire, destroying the ship. All Earth knows is that one of their ships was destroyed, and all Romulus knows is that there is an unknown power now invading their space (good enough reason to start a war, given their mentality).
