[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Well, Badlands can be reached from the "north" half of the DMZ by flying across the "gulf" of the Bajor sector. And that sector is Maquis-sympathetic wilderness, with the semi-friendly Feds the only authoritarian presence, and a weak one at that. Also, DS9 immediately becomes a logical center for gunrunning when Maquis assets are distributed on both sides of it. Also, historically one would expect the belt of UFP colonies to continue from the top left end of the DMZ towards "northwest", since this is where the border apparently formerly ran. While no DMZ is shown along that section of the belt, it would still provide friendly access for the colonists from the DMZ to the Badlands and beyond. In fact, this stretch of the belt would be the safest staging area for the militant Maquis, completely outside the reach of the Cardassians. Of course, were a map to be devised with direct access from the DMZ to the Badlands, things would be simpler. And a closer look at the map we saw in "For the Cause" in fact shows that the DMZ does run along the UFP/Cardassian border all the way to the Badlands. It just becomes a heck of a lot thinner when it passes between Bajor and Cardassia... Which may be why it doesn't show up on Mandel's map! There would be no Maquis planets on that narrow section of the Zone, but there might be a safe passage for them there. So just reinterpret that yellow dotted line as part of the DMZ and not just as another "regular" border... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
