[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] This is certainly one working model of how things could be. There's plenty of room for models to the contrary, though. So far we mostly have absence of evidence instead of evidence of absence when it comes to early cloaking devices. And that's to be expected, isn't it, when we are talking about something that *cannot be seen* when it's working right? <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Consider this: we know little about how Klingons age, except that they are fully grown adults at eight (at least if they are 1/4 human like Alexander) and tend to grey out by sixty or so (Worf in "AGT..") but can survive till the triple digits (Kor, Kang, Koloth, Darvin). See the other thread. So Kor could have been walloping Calder IV well before TOS, and could in theory be alive in Archer's time already if dramatically needed. Klingon cloaks could have been a novelty back then. And given how Klingons are so utterly superior to humans at that point it would be no wonder if their attacks left no witnesses and their cloaks stayed a secret for the better part of a century. It would only be with the escalating of hostilities in the 2220s that the Klingons would be pressed to closer contact with humans, and the battlefield would be leveled somewhat. Kor would have plenty of time to fall in some disfavor & accumulate the years that would make him senior enough to be a planetary governor. The fashion statements of the day would hide his age easily enough. Kang could be fifty years his junior or more... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
