He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted November 14, 2004 Given that there were references to the same Kahn/Botany Bay and the same Data-esque life that we are familiar with I don't see why the writers would intend that the reference to more modern Trek would be different. However, according to an unofficial map I saw, the Briar Patch in Insurrection is on the opposite side of the Federation as the Klingon Empire is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(and yes they have some 'historical' maps from Archer's time) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeanway 0 Posted November 14, 2004 I thought giving that area of space a new name was a good move on the writers part. Clever :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
