[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Probably the Cardassians were short on both resources and time when constructing the orbital defences of Chin'toka. IIRC, the system had recently been virtually emptied of starships in preparation of an offensive, and Damar was making G�ring-style unfounded promises about how he could still protect the system. These orbital platforms were being constructed, but they were not ready yet. And when time ran out, Damar's forces probably simply omitted the power sources and instead opted for a makeshift centralized power source. A longer preparation time would have allowed for a more redundant and durable network. About the Defiant penetrating Earth's surveillance nets: I don't think she ever did that. In "Paradise Lost", she was heading towards Earth at high speed, uncloaked, when she was intercepted by the Lakota in what looked like deep space. Worf decided it was too late to cloak since the Lakota was already firing. A battle ensued, the Lakota capitulated, and both ships then sailed to Earth openly and without cloaking. In "The Die is Cast", the Romulans estimated they'd destroy the planet's crust in an hour, and the mantle in five after that. What they ended up with was 30% of the crust destroyed with initial volley. But the wording (which I have to check once again) did NOT explicitly claim it was 30% of the WHOLE planet (although this may have been the writers' intention). The word "planet" was not used in the sentence. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
