[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] "Dragon's Teeth" more or less says the Borg became a threat to the Waadvaur no earlier than 900 years ago. It doesn't necessarily say the Borg did not exist before that, and did not rule the galaxy (although apparently the writers did want to imply that). Earlier episodes give other figures. In "Q Who?", Guinan says the Borg have been around for hundreds of millennia, and Q seems to confirm this, so something between 200,000 and 900,000 years of age would seem the most likely. The Dominion has been referred to as 2,000 years old in "To the Death", but a) that's probably just the lower age limit and b) it's probably disinformation fed by the Founders themselves anyway. Then again, the Dominion is not a single lifeform - and even if we count the Changelings as a single pool of goo, it probably hasn't grown in size much since its conception. A hundred "babies" per a thousand years or so was the implication in "The Search" where Odo's return in less than two centuries was considered vastly premature, and no mention was made of another, later batch of babies. The really really ancient humanoids from "The Chase" might count if they ultimately merged into a single being, but we saw no hint of such a fate. Of the cloud things, wasn't the amoeba just 11,000 km across? Still bigger than the other space dwellers, save for V'Ger (80 AU cloud included) and the coffee nebula - what were its dimensions? Oh, and TAS "One of Our Planets is Missing" had a big antimatter cloud thing that seemed capable of enveloping planets, so 11,000 km would be the lower size limit. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
