[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Since we're sharing theories about the cause of the war, I might as well share mine. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] 2063: First contact between Earth and Vulcan. Despite great differences between the two species, they find themselves drawn together. Vulcan logic provides a much-needed calming influence on humanity's more self-destructive tendancies, while raw human energy accelerates the sleepy pace of Vulcan technology. 2063-mid 2100's: Inspired by the great success of the Earth/Vulcan alliance, Vulcans make contact with several more species, including the Andorians and the Tellarites. The area around Sector 001 experiences a "golden age". Meanwhile, some light years distance, the Romulans begin to learn that Vulcan is forming a number of alliances in regions of space quite near to Romulus itself. Fearing that Vulcan is attempting to surround itself with an empire that will ultimately be used against them, as well as the alarming number of ships active in the area, the Romulans decide their best chance is to make a quick preemptive strike against Vulcan's new allies. 2156: Romulan ships attack targets throughout the area. Earth quickly responds, though the source of the attacks is initially unknown. Other worlds follow suit, eventually leading to the establishment of a military alliance. Vulcan turns down membership, stating that they will seek a logical and diplomatic resolution. Vulcan contributes large amounts of aid to the alliance, however. The reason for Vulcan reluctance is unknown at the time, despite some wild claims that they are "in on it" somehow. Relations with Vulcan sour to the point that, while Vulcan will become a founding an influential member of the United Federation of Planets, no Vulcans will serve in Starfleet for some time. The real reason, of course, is that the Vulcan government knew exactly who these aggressors were. They feared that if the knowledge of what the Romulans represented was known, it would not be long until their new allies turned on them as well. 2160: The Romulan War ends with a decisive alliance victory, destroying much of the Romulan fleet. 2161: The United Federation of Planets is founded. On Romulus, a political decision of equal weight is made. Fearing that the new Federation intends to finish what the alliance started, the Romulans begin a program of expansion into the Beta Quadrant. The Romulan Star Empire begins to grow into the interstellar power it is today. [/QB][/QUOTE]
