^ :dubious: ^ A team of astronomers have discovered the location of [Romulus and Remus](http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap050818.html). Goodness, and they’re _close_, too, less than 3.5 A.U. away. Kind of smaller than I thought they’d be, though, only 18 and 7 kilometers in diameter. Still, I guess we’d better be careful not to violate the Neutral Zone, especially with them right in our backyard like this. ---

They must have been cloaked until now. The Romulans are our friends now, after the Dominion war.Their fleet got pretty smashed up, and there’s all the Shinzon business… ---
