[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [qb] Maybe a condition of the Romulan War was the end to the use, or of FURTHER development of cloaking devices. I'm guessing NOT using it ever again. They were going over the Neutral Zone to see if the Romulans had indeed test that assumption. They'd have needed a pretty big reason to do that. I can't remember were they also responding to the destruction of some Neutral Zone bases (or did those happen after the episode started?) Maybe they weren't ever equipped with cloaking nets or anything - cause the condition was NO CLOAKS? [/qb][/QUOTE]IIRC, the episode starts with the bases on "our side" of the Neutral Zone being destroyed. The Enterpise responds, the Romulan ship heads home, the Enterprise pursues and during the course of the battle, the two ships enter the Neutral Zone....I think. The implication is that the cloaking device (or I suppose to rationalise ENT, this generation of the cloacking device) is new, and the Romulans wanted to test whether we had the technology or the backbone to counter it. As for "The Enterprise Incident", my memory is completely non-prsent, so voila [URL=http://www.ericweisstein.com/fun/startrek/TheEnterpriseIncident.html]synopsis[/URL] From the synopsis, it sounds like more a grab and dash, to get an engineering sample of the latest cloaking device presumeably to develop countermeasures. One also has to consider the "Treaty of Algeron", referenced in TNG "The Pegasus", in Picard's words how its kept the peace between the Federation and the Romulans for X years and prohibits Federation R&D into their own cloaking device.
