[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]If they'd had one of the big "mushroom" starbases at the wormhole with a dozen Defiants....[/QUOTE]Then they would have attacked much sooner and with overwhelming force. They did what they did because they knew enough about the Federation to know that unless it was directly provoked, the Federation would always explore a diplomatic solution before a military one, so they took the slower, more sneaky approach. It would have worked too, if the Prophets hadn't intervened. The way I see it, to a smaller outside force (like the Ferengi, Breen or Gorn) the Federation looks at first glance like a bunch of soft pacifists. In other words, easy target or something not liable to meddle with their own expansion. Of course the bigger powers like the Romulans and Klingons know differently, that while they're not exactly "Warriors" in either culture's frame of reference, there's a bloody awful lot of them, they all share a respectable level of technology and if you attack one, the other one hundred and forty nine will jump on you. I suppose you could compare the Feds to a particularly large herd of elephants. Essentially peaceful creatures, but you really don't want to piss them off on mass, if you can possibly avoid it. Safer to try picking off the odd straggler when the others aren't looking. [/QB][/QUOTE]
