Well I speculate that the only way for the Federation to win the war is for
Spock to succeed in his mission on Romulus.  BTW he's still there.  Once
Vulcan and Romulus are one the Romulans will be part of the Federation or
vice versa and along with the Klingons you'll have unstopable force.  But I
think the Romulans are going to need to make some huge sacrfices to win the
trust of the klingons.  They are going to need an Enterprise-C incident type

 Not unsttobble, but very powerfull.
 Oh, is Gowron already unmasked?

 You mean a ship that sacrifices for Klingons when attacked. If Gowron isn't

one she was in Quark became her protector, or smoething like that. I'm going
to have to dig through the episodes to see what he actually became to her.
It was the episode where Worf wanted her, and then ended up helping Quark
