   Why?  The Romulan vessel had already done the damage.

   The explosion that took out Romulus is AFTER all of the other canon   
   works.  What inconsistency?  Insurrection and the end of DS9 were in   
   2375.  Voyager ran until 2378.  Nemesis was in 2379.  The explosion   
   was in 2387.  You're complaining that a story in 2375 didn't mention   
   an explosion a dozen years in the future???
