[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] One way to have a STL war that lasts only four years is to have a Romulan conquest fleet begin to move towards Earth in 2050 or so from a location only a couple of dozen lightyears from Earth. The fleet then encounters a human world in 2156, probably not Earth itself, and wreaks havoc. Earth's possession of warp drive comes as a rude surprise to the fleet, which is decimated, and Earth traces the aggressors back to their home system, which they assault with warpships. But now the Romulans have the home turf advantage, and make short work of the warpships in situations where warp is useless. Earth can no longer back down, but keeps pumping ships into the Romulan system until either Earth or Romulan resources and patience run out. However possible that scenario would be, I still prefer to interpret things so that Romulans always had interstellar warp and used that tech to move from Vulcan to Romulus. It's just that not all of their warships possess that drive. There is little [i]need[/i] for it if the Romulans are not allowed out of their home system, after all. The ship seen in "BoT" could have been a warp-driven patrol vessel similar to those seen intercepting the Enterprise in "The Deadly Years", simply modified so that the drive is replaced by the cloaking device (or power rerouted so that the cloak uses it all up).
