[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The Diane Duane fans among us will place Romulus at 128 Trianguli. But since the northern constellation Triangulum is "south" of Sol and we want something "northeast", as per all the semi-official maps, it might be better to use Triangulum Australe, visible in the southern hemisphere and very nicely "northeast" from Sol. Triangulum Australe is even in the galactic plane, near Alpha Centauri. And didn't the Romulans reside in Alpha Centauri in the "Past Tense" alternate timeline? This could suggest they came from that general direction and hadn't reached Earth yet in that timeline. There are plenty of suitable stars in the Tri Australe constellation - it's one of those constellations that displays "asterism", that is, most of the stars are actually located near each other instead of just happening to be in the same direction when viewed from Earth. The closest stars would be somewhere in the dozen-ly range, and then it's a steady progression to hundreds of lightyears. I think Tri Australe is wonderful as the location of Romulan space in every respect. And just because there isn't a 128 Tri there yet doesn't mean we couldn't name one of the dimmer stars thusly...
