[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] As for withdrawing the fleet from the Klingon border: the peace treaty had been signed and wasn't broken afterwards. It was in the Klingon interest to cooperate with the Federation against the Dominion. I think leaving just Picard on the Ent-E would be enough for this kind of patrol mission because we know he'll broker every agreement and never die. :) As for the speed -- it's always the newest and the latest ships that have high speeds (Prometheus, Sovereign (wasn't it Warp 9.95 according to Captain's Chair?), Intrepid). Even the Defiant's limitation seems to be merely a result of a botched SIF field (which we know was a problem in "Shattered Mirror"), and it's possible that the warp core can indeed generate Warp 9.982 power. All of the other ships in the observed fleets are limited to Warp 9.x or so. The hypothetical courier ships exist only because Rick Sternbach is picky about his personal canon, and doesn't believe in occassionally fast warp speeds. The Wolf 359 ships, being in the generation of Galaxys and Nebulas, are likely to share their speed limitations (which indeeed are the limitations of every ship in the Dominion fleet according to the DS9TM). We could easily have a fleet of Sovereigns/Intrepids/Prometheii moving faster (and we know that a couple of Prometheii would be built by the time of "Endgame"). I don't recall how warp speed affects the sensors, but I would guess that a bunch of ships at high warp = high spatial distortion = more easily detectable. Also, they've just been seen far too rarely to be numerous, and official sources support the idea that it takes a while for the new ships to, er, multiply. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
