[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] [QUOTE] Why is Pacifica sooo far from Sol when the Enterprise managed to get from there back to Sol in [Conspiracy] pretty damn fast (days at most, I'd guess). [/QUOTE]That's because Pacifica has to be next door to Mira, the place where Picard meets Walker Keel. And Mira is a real star (Omicron Ceti) at that distance from Earth. Omicron Ceti also appears in TOS "This Side of Paradise". If Kirk and a bunch of colonists could reach the location in reasonable time, I'd assume Picard could do the same or better. And Mira isn't THAT far in comparison with places like Canopus, Antares or Rigel: when the reason is good and the cause is just, our heroes in TOS and TNG alike can span distances of several hundred lightyears in a matter of days. As for the Sheliak, I sort of assume they actually live at Sheliak and not in some nearby location in the direction of Sheliak. That's because Tau Cygna (sic) is also a real star, and quite a bit farther away than the "usual suspects". How the colonists got past or through Cardassian or Breen territory isn't that big a mystery, considering how leaky Cardassian space is in DS9... There's also always the third dimension.
