@nkcampbell The cloak on the Defiant was on loan from the Romulan Empire. After the Defiant's destruction and replacement with the Sao Paolo, there was no longer a cloak available.

It's questionable whether or not the Federation developed the core cloaking technology on their own, having captured at least two devices (Romulan in 2268, Klingon in 2286). The phase-cloak from Pegasus was probably an extrapolation of one or both of those devices.

@AndrewSavinykh please do also add your answer, even if you don't want to accept it. Your question could be helpful for anyone looking for Halfway House in the future.

It is also possible Picard shaved his head while at the Academy.

Just to throw in two cents, Picard had his hair when he was de-aged in Rascals.

Or it could be Yavin IV. The Death Star is facing the wrong direction to blast it in either case.

While it is obviously plot powered, in the Voyager episode Basics (part 1) the self destruct mechanism is damaged beyond use.

@Ellesedil The Borg initiated contact with 8472. Unfortunately, while we know they started the war, we don't know how much the Borg knew of fluidic space or it's inhabitants before it went there, or if the simple act of the Borg going there was enough to start the war, of if the Borg actively provoked 8472 (as the Borg are apt to do).

@MikeEdenfield To be honest "Hot Springs" wasn't very creative of them either.

@randal'thor Do imaginary locations...exist in the real world? (need 10k rep)

Best advice, when in doubt ask the question. Worst case it'll be VTC'd.

@randal'thor I'd say it's okay, but that's me.

@WadCheber I wouldn't have known.

@WadCheber Are you sure? Maybe the Furlings did and that's why no one has seen one.

@ThePopMachine I missed your in different films or episodes requirement anyway, so they wouldn't count.

@Shane That Equinox device was something they picked up along the way and wasn't of Federation origin. As for when holodecks were developed, I would guess sometime between 2344 and 2363 (between Ent-C and Ent-D), although I have no facts to back that up.

How is this off topic? Although it is asking for a real world explanation, it does relate directly to a cited work of fiction.

There is a kickstarter for a Veronica Mars movie, if anyone here got into that show.
