[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] The Vulcan "Reformation" occured about 2,000 years ago, as of the 23rd century. Surak's followers ended the wars and locked away all the particularily nasty effects of Vulcan telepathy. Those Vulcans that rejected Surak's philosophy of logic were either forced out or decided to leave. Now, fandom has generally assumed that Vulcan was a rather advanced planet at the time of those wars. There's really not much evidence either way, but for the renegade Vulcans to seriously consider fleeing the planet as an option, there would have to have been a pretty advanced spacefaring tradition, warp drive or not. They probably had access to all sorts of advanced drive systems that present day space programs would love to get their hands on. So regardless of warp drive, the Romulans could have probably made it to their new home in a relatively short period of time, with a few stops along the way. Of course, an alternate theory would be that not all of the renegade Vulcans agreed with each other, and were dropped on several planets, with only the Romulans surviving. Perhaps this explains the existance of the Mintakans, described as protovulcans. They could have been outcasts who chose Mintaka as their new home, but for some reason were not able to hold on to their history or their technology, and reverted to a primitive society. This does depend on where exactly Mintaka is located, however. Meanwhile, back on Vulcan, the juggernaut of progress is tempered by the cool cautiousness of logic. This explains why Vulcan is not 2,000 years ahead of the rest of the Federation in terms of technology. As for the Romulans, their energies were focused on taming their new home, and they would not look back to the stars until later. [/QB][/QUOTE]
