[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The DS9 maps as such pose no limitations on the placement of the Klingon Empire. Never is it indicated that a particular maneuver in a given direction would cut the Klingons off DS9, or that Archanis Sector would lie to the South-Southwest of Bellatrix, or anything like that. However, the Probert map from "Conspiracy" and Keiko's schoolroom shows that planet Kling lies to the South of planet Romulus. Also, Sternbach's DS9 TM maps showing the Klingon and Romulan Empires reflect this relative positioning; however, those maps are not seen onscreen. No particular logic would prevent the Klingons from surrounding the supposedly relatively compact Romulan space from multiple directions, even if Gamma Hydra and Kling lie on opposite sides of Romulus. Just make the tentacles thick enough not to be cut or blockaded. The Charts could easily be amended to show the Klingons filling the Eastern side of the RNZ and reaching all the way to Gamma Hydra. However, it would not be plausible to have their Empire consist SOLELY of a compact ovoid North of Gamma Hydra! The remaining option would be to move the entire Romulan Star Empire North of Gamma Hydra, with the Klingon Empire tagging along and coming to rest just South of Gamma Hydra... This would nicely jibe with the ENT idea that Klingons are closer to Earth than Romulans. And all it would contradict would be Sternbach's noncanon DS9 TM maps... And perhaps a few travel time references. Certainly worth some consideration... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
