[QUOTE]Originally posted by jh: [QB] Okay, here's my theory (humbly presented) At some point in their ancient history the Vulcans are technologically advanced species with warp capability but still suffer from their un-suppressed emotions. A savage war breaks out between separate factions. Those who follow the new philosophies of Surak and the those who will eventually come to be called the Romulans. After nearly a hundred years war in which off-Vulcan colonies are destroyed and much of the civiliation is bombed back into the Stone Age the Romulans take the few remaining warp-capable ships and leave for a new home. Some ships are lost along the way, others find homes for themselves (the ruins from Gambit, see also Spocks comments in Paradise Syndrom) and the outlying colonies are either cut off or destroyed leaving a decimated populus on Vulcan and a band of stragglers headed toward Romulus. After a period of time the Vulcans recover under the leadership of T'Planahath and soon are exploring the galaxy again, unaware of what has become of those who left (Balance of Power - Spock apparenty isn't aware of the existence of the Romulans). The Romulans, the few that are left after their journey, make a home on Romulus and begin building a civilization basically from scratch. Though they retain some techonologies they revert to more primitive things in others (not an unheard of thing - witness the Middle Ages) including the non-warp drive that their ships are equipped with at the time of the war with Earth. NOTE: Though we know Earth and Romulus fought a war that occurred after First Contact with the Vulcans we don't know for certain what type of contact there was between them. They could have been faceless enemies, which would explain a lack of knowledge about them, who were identified only post facto. Or Earth and Vulcan ties weren't so close (or were just too new) at the time of the war so the Vulcans weren't told everything. [/QB][/QUOTE]
