[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The Romulans reach Earth? I don't think so. According to "Homefront/Paradise Lost", a state of emergency is declared on Earth at that time, or something like that, nothing more. The closest we hear about Romulans is a battle at Tau Ceti in Kirk's time (or perhaps it was a simulated battle?), mentioned offhand in "Whom Gods Destroy". And they got to Alpha Centauri in the alternate universe where Sisko didn't replace Gabriel Bell. The end of the war leads to the founding of the UFP? Possibly, but it's not stated anywhere. The war could well have continued beyond the founding of the Federation. Or even been started *after* the founding, if we ditch the interpretation that an "Earth/Romulan" war cannot be a Fed/Romulan one. We don't have solid dates, just the concept that it all happened "a century" before "Balance of Terror". The Battle of Cheron is the decisive battle, but perhaps not the very last. Nitpicking, I know, but there's the chance that the war dragged on quite a bit after the Romulans lost, with a peace treaty signed decades after Cheron. Why speculate on such things? Because Spock lets slip that there were Romulan "wars", plural, in one sentence in "Balance of Terror". The uncertainty between singular and plural is a typical feature of long conflicts.
