![]() Why would Kirk bring up the time gap if Romulan vessels had not been seen a hundred years ago?Īlso, it worth noting that Romulan ships have never been shown to be capable of firing weapons while cloaked. This quote tells us absolutely nothing about what any party has seen of the other's ships.Īfter a whole century, what will a Romulan ship look like, Mister Stiles? The Enterprise is not a Human and the Bird of Prey is not a Romulan. This tells us that no Human has ever seen a Romulan. Therefore, no Human, Romulan, or ally has ever seen the other. I interpret Spock's remark to mean that the Federation and the Romulans were unable/unwilling to utilize their viewscreens for communication, relying on audio only. The absence of ship-to-ship visual communication does not rule out ship-to-ship visual contact. Nor was there even ship-to-ship, visual communication Nothing in the quotes you've provided supports the conclusion that this was the first time the Federation had seen Romulan ships. I have not seen Star Trek: Discovery or Star Trek: Enterprise, so if you have answers from those TV series, please provide them. They do have a giant bird of prey painted on them.ĭid the Federation actually see enemy spaceships from the Romulan war a century earlier? And that every ship they saw had a bird of prey emblem on it? They're painted like a giant bird-of-prey. KIRK: After a whole century, what will a Romulan ship look like, Mister Stiles? I doubt they'll radio and identify themselves. When a cloaked ship attacks Federation outposts along the Neutral Zone, Captain Kirk says nobody knows what the Romulans and their ships look like. ![]() Nor was there even ship-to-ship, visual communication* therefore, **no Human, Romulan, or ally has ever seen the other. SPOCK: As you recall from your histories, this conflict was fought, by our standards today, with primitive atomic weapons and in primitive space vessels which allowed no quarter, no captives. Nor were there contacts by subspace radio since the Romulan War. After the Treaty of Algeron, the Romulans had stayed on their side of the Neutral Zone for a 100 years.
