[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Or then the supposed alliance between the empires involved a mutual protection pact? Alternately, the alliance had crumbled by that time already, and Klingons were infamous for using Romulan space for their assorted acts of piracy and mayhem, both against Romulans and any other nearby prey. Or then we could just say "It's a simulation!" and leave it at that. Hey, in ST6, the Romulans apparently are allies of the Feds. Perhaps the no-win scenario had to be hastily updated when this alliance was formed, with every reference to "those evil Romulans" replaced by one to "those evil Klingons". ;) In any case, making Gamma Hydra proximal to both empires would complicate things quite a bit, what with it being relatively distant and coreward from Earth. If the Klingon/Romulan border moves that far "northeast", then a map based on "Okudaic" distances will look odd indeed. Of course, if one drops the assumption of Okudaic distances, which assume that 100 ly is a weeks-long trip, this matters little. TOS is replete with examples of 100 ly being a seconds-long trip! However, the Star Charts (and Christian's map referred above) assume Okudaic scaling because they rely partially on Okudaic onscreen maps... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
