Romulans

A patient and cunning race mostly known for their violence, Romulans have an interesting heritage. According to old teachings Romulans and Vulcans were once one species existing on the planet Vulcan. They were an extremely violent race until around the 4th Century during the “Time of the Awakening” during which many of the populace began following the teachings of Surak. The group who disagreed with Surak began to leave Vulcan in search for a new home world eventually settling on the planet now known as Romulus. After many generations of planetary and cultural adaptations and evolutions, they have become two distinctive races. Unlike their biological cousins, Romulans are only devoted to the protection of the Romulan Star Empire. Romulans put the safety of the Romulan Star Empire above all else.

Romulans migrated to the planet currently known as Romulus. Vulcan, now a peaceful planet distinguished by the active volcanoes and tectonic plates; was once in a state of chaos due to uncontrolled emotions. During this time a Vulcan named Surak, began teachings of logic that were adopted by the Vulcan’s but not the Romulans. Not long after the adopting of these teachings the Romulans left Vulcan in search for a new home world. Eventually after a long and perilous journey the Romulans found Romulus, a Minshara class planet in the Beta Quadrant. Unlike their biological cousins, Romulans are only devoted to the protection of the Romulan Star Empire. Romulans put the safety of the Romulan Star Empire above all else.

The Romulan planetary system consists of another world, Remus, of which little is known, overall, to Federation intelligence. The Remans are second-, perhaps even third-class, citizens of the Romulan Empire, and work as slaves and in the mines on the dark, harsh surface of Remus. In the 24th century, a failed clone of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, named Shinzon, created by Romulan Intelligence, was exiled to Remus, and eventually lead a revolt and a coup, establishing himself as Praetor of the Romulan Empire. Shinzon was later killed in hand-to-hand combat with Picard.

In later years, the elderly Ambassador Spock attempted to help with the stabilization of the aging Romulan sun; the attempt failed, and the sun exploded, destroying the system and everything in it. Spock was sent through a time warp into the past and, pursued by the vengeance-crazed Romulan Commander Nero, created a new, altered timeline in which Vulcan was destroyed and the Federation and Starfleet were of a somewhat different configuration.
