they can just open the hatch and blow everything into space. no one will care I suppose.

This is how I understand it Trill, I might be wrong somewhere along the line, but here goes.

The Romulan's have a Vulcan origin but they rejected logic and the Vulcan way of life. The Romulan's settled on Romulus and became a mighty empire (Romulan Star Empire). In the Vulcan arc through series four, the Romulan's where intending to take advantage of the lack of Surak's teachings and assimilate Vulcan's into the Romulan way of life. The Reman's are a race that live on the dark side of the moon orbiting Romulus and the Romulans enslaved them to do their somewhat dangerous dilithium mining.

I feel like a history teacher. LOL[/quote]

thanks it's all clear now.

but I heard somewhere from a trekkie (or trekker?) that the remans and the romulans supposedly have the same origin and that they were separated because of a divergence of opinion on certain matters exactly like the vulcans. so I guess this would not be true then and they are not related. but how did they get on the moon anyway? they must come from somewhere...[/quote]

No, Romulans and Remons are two seperate entities and the only thing that relates them is that they live in the same system. The thing to understand is that the Romulan's originally came from Vulcan and arn't indigenous to Romulus. The Remons are indigenous to Remus (the moon orbiting Romulus) and its their homeworld.

Going back a step, you asked if Remon's had emerged in Trek before Nemesis - I think (to my knowledge) the answer to that is no, we haven't seen them until ST Nemesis, unless they have been in TOS and I've forgotten.:)[/quote][/quote]

You're welcome Trill. That's why I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread like this because we can settle our queries!:)

I always get a little stuck with the end of the Vulcan arc in Season 4. In Kir'shara (or however it is spelt), it finalises the story with the Romulan's being the underlying cause of V'los machinations. I know that ties in with the 24th century such as Ambassador Spock's underground movement - but does anyone know (or can even explain) the full story? Am I making any sense here?:)

well plasma ignites which would be pretty useful as a fuel. and dilithium crystals well I know they gotta be aligned to do... something useful to the warp core. cleaning the inside perhaps... it's got something to do with the anti-matter intermix chamber... now I'm just adding words together.

amazingly more efficient. but not sure if it would be cheaper in the end.

oh and I think you're right about the subspace thing. it makes sense to me anyway.

When the ship travels at warp speed, how come it doesn't bump into anything?

What's the difference between warp, warp speed and warp factor? Or are they all the same?[/quote]

1) The main deflector (the big dish at the front) is supposed to deflect any objects that could collide with the ship. Additionally, ships wouldn't travel at warp through a Solar System.

2) Warp & warp speed means travelling faster than light; whereas warp factor relates to a particular speed of warp (such as Warp Factor 6 or Warp Factor 8)

[/quote]

the warp drive generates a warp field that surrounds the ship kinda like a tube in which the ship (and its deflector) travel. I assume he must distort the space/time/matter continuum and move the objects away. well it doesn't really matter how it designed the point is it looks cool on tv.[/quote]

A warp core regulates like a controlled collision between normal matter and anti-matter (fueled by the dilithium crystals) which creates a enormous amount of power. This gets fed into the nacells and in turn generates a displacement field around the ship. Something like that anyway. I think that it sends the ship into whats called 'sub-space' has something to do with it as well. I think the displacement field is a sub-space bubble which collides with normal space, thus making the ship move at an enormous velocity. I think....?[/quote]

yeah that must be pretty close to an explanation... from what we humble fans try to understand. I'm not to sure about the subspace... don't really know what it means. and what's the plasma used for? another kind of fuel?

Connor has expressed strong feelings about forums in the past. He doesn't like anything too personal to be discussed on the boards.

He also doesn't like the smutty innuendo stuff. (Save that for Dom's board, Lekha) If you're going to write fantasy stuff, it has to be in relation to the Trip Tucker character, NOT Connor Trinneer. He is off limits.[/quote]

Yeah I agree. He said at the Con that he doesn't view the forum; but thats not to say that one day he might and it might come across pretty much hurtful.

However, I think the answer to Paris' question would be - they would just have to cope just like people on earth would do if they were single!

Well Trip and T'Pol got together once (more's the pity) and he would then be waiting for seven years. I think we're supposed to accept that an enlightened humanity after first contact can put such things to the backs of their minds and get on with their jobs. (Except Kirk of course).

Well, like Trip and Malcolm, I think that they got lucky with other Aliens that they came across. Plus, I do think that they made it back home for meals. Even throught I think that they are well stocked for at least 5 years. Remember Risa. :D

As i will not be here i will ask a question that i feel never see's the light of day.

If all that lot are in space for 10 years, how did they all stop getting.......well you know.

We all know that Trip and T'pol got together but how did the rest cope, especially the males ?

As i will now depart for a number of weeks you lot can have a field day answering that one. LOL

TMG gave me the idea (inadvertantly) of setting up a topic where we can recieve enlightenment about grey areas we have about Enterprise and the cast.

For instance, someone might ask 'Where was CT born?' in which someone with that knowledge would hastly reply.
