I was wondering if people could make for me a few screencaps of the following:
-The S.S. Lakul and S.S. Robert Fox from STAR TREK GENERATIONS. -The Merchantman from STAR TREK III: THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK. -The T'Pau from "Unification" (TNG).
Thanks, -MMoM

And the Three Vulcan ships from Unification II - or did you want the bits of the T'Pau scattered over the Cargobay floor from Unification I? Cause the T'Pau never actually made it to that mini-vulcan-fleet did it?

The T'Pau was part of that fleet:
PICARD A "peace" envoy in a stolen Vulcan ship.
SELA Actually, three Vulcan ships, Captain. The Enterprise is only aware of the one we stole from Qualor II.

We've been through the holes in the Romulan plot many times over, but I was still under the misconception that the T'Pau wasn't in the fleet. Thanks, this clarifies things a bit.
I gather this was a "Moonraker" style plot complication: the Romulans had somehow got their hands on Vulcan transports without having to steal them whole from Starfleet depots and reveal their hand. The Ferengi and the unknown pirates acted as middlemen, clandestinely delivering vital spares. But then something went wrong, and the Romulans suddenly and acutely needed one ship more. So they ramped up their activity and stole an entire ship.
Whatever the original plot of the Romulans, it probably did not involve flying to Vulcan aboard a ship that was known to be officially retired at Qualor, or reported stolen from there. At least that way, some of the more nonsensical aspects of the plan could be ignored.
(Naturally, the "plan" did not exist for real, since the writers obviously hadn't given it any real thought - but we can postulate one posthumously...)
