[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Well, it takes us back to the three dimensional aspect of space that cant be translated well as a 2-D map. The Klingons could have crossed unclaimed territory "under" federation space to get at Cardassia (also explaining how they could have effectivlt fought the Federation while occupying planets in the Cardassian Union- whatever [i]that[/i] is in planetary numbers(?). Despite the crowded way most maps of the major powers are shown, there must remain a vast unclaimed space between each for interstellar commerce and exploration to be possible without having to travel through someone's "backyard". Otherwise, a small(ish) empire like the Cardassians/Romulans would find itself boxed in by hostile neighbors. The Yidrian ship in "Birthright" semed prety sunstansial to me- for a civillian ship (consider those dinky Ferengi shuttlepods that get to DS9 just fine from Fereginar). Thinking on it, mabye the "badlands" served as a kind of natural buffer between Cardassian Union and the UFP- I'd imagine more than a few ships have been lost there over the decades. [/QB][/QUOTE]
