[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Why would the Breen or the Romulans lose anybody? Save for some insignificant four- or five-digit number in ship crews. We'd need solid proof of massacre-type orbital bombardment to get six-digit casualties out of a Trek-style space war, and that proof is still missing. The Maquis seemed to live in a communities of a few thousand people at most, apparently one community per planet. Lose a Maquis planet, lose a starship, you still don't get much in the way of casualties. I'm sure the Klingons or the Jem'Hadar were sent to die in surface action by the millions. But would those count as casualties? Both would be sent to die in surface action even during the solidest peace, just for the fun of it! :p The "Jack Pack" estimate of hundreds of billions of dead never was backed by satisfactory dialogue. Our heroes spoke of "occupied" planets, but never of civilian dead. Even if Klingons or Romulans don't believe in bushido, it would suffice if the Feds and the Jem'Hadar did...
