[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] I think TSN's and Sol System's theories are close to what I think about the Vulcan/Romulan/Terran problem. Some additional thoughts: 1. There must have been a lot of dissenters that later became the Romulans. Otherwise the event of leaving or being expelled from Vulcan would not have been an important event in Vulcan history, and, after all, the huge Romulan civilization needs some basis. So there must have been a huge fleet of "Romulan" ships leaving Vulcan forever, warp drive or not. 2. Maybe the Vulcans actually lost trace of the dissenters, maybe the later Romulans even left Vulcan prior to the climax of the civil war, whereupon all Vulcan starships might have been destroyed or abandoned. The Vulcans did not tell anyone of the Romulans because they didn't know of them themselves. 3. I think the Romulan War must have been very short (in terms of number of space battles, not necessarily years), just as it has been described several times in this thread. There hasn't obviously been a "normal" first contact situation, and during a long war there would have been lots of possibilities to get to know the enemy, at least what they look like. 4. The Romulans most probably did have warp drive. Even if the Neutral Zone in "Balance of Terror" was directly outside the Romulan star system, it would have taken years to reach the Fed outposts with impulse drive and attack them. Moreover, the complete Romulan War must have taken place inside the Romulan Star system in this case. And no one of the Federation managed to explore the Romulans during this time? [/QB][/QUOTE]
