[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] [QUOTE]I searched Memory Alpha for Romulan War and found that Battle of Cheron wich was a pivotal battle in the war took place in 2160. The battle ended the Romulan War. That places the beginning of the Romulan War somewhere between 2155 and 2160. [/QUOTE]Hmm. Almost everything in that MA entry is speculation. -Nobody ever says that Cheron was a pivotal battle. Instead, Admiral Jarok in TNG "The Defector" merely says it was a "humiliating defeat" for the Romulans. Kasserine Pass was a humiliating defeat for the US forces in WWII, but it was in no way pivotal: Rommel was doomed from the moment the US troops first landed in North Africa, all the way to his final surrender, completely regardless of what happened at Kasserine in between. -Nobody says Cheron was in any manner connected with the old Romulan War, let alone that it was the ending clash of that war. Instead, wouldn't it be more logical to assume that the event is fairly recent, because Jarok considers it an unavenged one? It probably is something related to why the Romulans began half a century of silence in 2311. -...Because nobody ever gives a date for Cheron. Most definitely not 2160. -Finally, we don't see the exact spelling anywhere on screen. So if we wish, we could say the battle is unrelated to the planet Cheron which was central to the TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield". Or we could say that the battle took place at Charon, the moon of Pluto in our solar system. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
