[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] On the subject of Vulcan being 40 Eri, I trust the writers of "Enterprise" would have no reason to be for [i]or[/i] against such a claim. It would make no difference to them or to their stories. In contrast, we know that the tech people, who are in the habit of giving us all these cool "no difference" factoids in the form of obscure computer screen readouts or dedication plaques or whatnot, do have an interest in preserving "Trek lore". Okuda tries to work the cubed warp-speed factor into "Enterprise" even though it's a losing battle, since he thinks it's part of the original Trek mythos. I'm sure he's making a similar attempt with the 40 Eri thing, and he's more likely to succeed there since no plot demands are hampering that effort. As for Andor's identity, I can see pros and cons in the Epsilon Indi idea. The systems *are* rather proximate, even if there are other systems (like Sol!) in between. Contact between them would be trivially easy with starships of NX-01's caliber, and supposedly Vulcans have had ships like that for some time already. And both systems have K-class stars that thus might be of strategic interest to the other party (a home away from home), thereby promoting contact. Then again, Epsilon Indi was never associated with Andorians in any episode, even though the star was mentioned. In fact, the Triacus folks (Gorgan's ancestors) were said to have operated there. But the omissions of the earlier shows could easily be rectified in ENT. One could even innocuously have an Andorian refer to the Triacus pirates that so burdened and influenced his society's distant past, or something. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
