This is one of many reasons why I think the Romulans were "fracking" their star - something weird was going on with it. Spock's little weird ship was supposed to be FAST, too, and he had trouble outrunning it.Somewhere in Picard, I seem to recall someone saying something that made me calculate that they'd been working on the Evacuation for three years. That either means that the explosion wasn't too much FTL, or they had more warning than the movie suggested. Which they should have, if it was Romulus's star. They should have known for years/centuries that it was gonna go.Of course, in the movie, Nero whined that the Federation did nothing to help. He also time-traveled to the past and as far as we know, did nothing himself, so his opinion is a bit suspect. He was nuts.</blockquote>
