[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] This sounds quite good. Regardless of how the Klingons got their cloaks, the technology would probably remain "new" for a few decades at least. So even a mission in the 2270 would fit the bill, even though we have no direct verification of Klingon aggressions towards the UFP in that period. However, the way Kor mentions the "old" D-5 cruisers does make me yearn for something a little more dated. And I agree that a Klingon attack some time before "Balance of Terror" could still involve cloaks, as long as the surprise was so complete that no witnesses remained to the use. Perhaps Caleb IV was annihilated. Or perhaps the people who saw the cloaks in action (the ATC officers or the perimeter patrol teams) were killed, and only "ignorant bystanders" survived. If we go by "Unexpected", we might in fact say that the Klingons got the cloaks first, and then gave them to the Romulans. Being new to the device, the Romulans badly botched up their first mission and revealed the secret of the device's existence. The device wouldn't be very "new" to Kor then, though, unless it took a century or so to refine it from the "Unexpected" form to the final practical TOS form. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
