Romulan Star Empire
One of the most powerful nations in known space, the Romulan Star Empire (sometimes simply referred to as the Romulan Empire) is the modern Romulan state. It was founded as a result of the settlement of twin homeworlds, Romulus and Remus by dissident Vulcans approximately 2,000 years ago, and existed at least as early as 2152, when it made first contact with United Earth. The Romulan Star Empire is well known for its xenophobic and expansionist policies.
Since the death of Praetor Shinzon, and the fall of the Tal Shiar, the empire has endured a dark period of time as it rebuilt its economy and intelligence division to its once proud status.
During the Federation Civil War, the Romulans did not officially declare if they stood with LoDona or Doentiz, however they came close to declaring hostilities with the Federation (52nd Fleet) after an invasion of the USS Nimitz by the IRV Red Claw.
On Stardate 2407.12.28, the Romulan Senate decided to attempt to re-open negotiations with the Federation following the end of the civil war. With their military might returned to what it once was, and the Tal Shiar back to full operation, the empire stands in a good position of power, with some parties rallying for a war with the now weakened Federation, yet the Praetor insisted that peace with the Federation was the best choice. Managing to silence the dissident members of the senate temporarily, the Romulan Homeworld guardedly opened its arms to the USS Hades and its crew as talk commenced.
