For most of recorded interstellar history, the Empire has been known for its xenophobic character and policies of extreme secrecy and territorial protectionism. The [[Hobus]] supernova of [[2387]], and the ensuing destruction of [[Romulus]], threw the Empire into a great deal of turmoil, encompassing several civil wars, territorial separation, reunification and re-constitution. Since then, a [[Rihan|new capital]] was established on [[Rator III]], where [[Sela]] eventually proclaimed herself Empress in [[2408]]. However, after her disappearance in [[2409]], the status of Rator III as capital was challanged by Romulan and [[Reman]] fugitives who strive for an eventual re-unification with the [[Vulcan]]s and have founded a new faction - the [[Romulan Republic]] - on [[New Romulus]]. == Culture == Romulan society is secretive and xenophobic. Romulan intellectuals thrive on deceit and subterfuge, and they favor more of a cunning approach to battle rather than sheer brute force, and this is reflected in the fact that most Romulan vessels have cloaking technology. == History == [[File:Romulan Star Empire symbol.png|right|thumb|Emblem of the Romulan Star Empire.]] :''Main article: [[History of the Romulan and Reman peoples]]'' * Hakeev oversees Imperial Forces during the invasion of [[Virinat]] from his flagship, the {{IRW|Khnial}}. ({{mission|Flight from Virinat}}) In a broadcast to the citizens of the Romulan Star Empire, Sela blames the Romulan Republic for the destruction of the colony on [[Virinat]]. ({{mission|Shadow Play}}) * Tal Shiar have taken over [[Gasko Station]] and work on Borg technology there. ({{mission|Gasko Blues}}) * A Tal Shiar fleet that engages the player in orbit of [[Nimbus III]], which hosts the Tal Shiar facility [[Installation 18]]. ({{mission|Installation 18}}) * [[Listening Post Hephaestus]] is discovered, where Hakeev and [[Janek]] are present spying on various powers in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Janek raises concerns over the lives lost during their operations on the planet. * It is discovered that Hakeev and the Tal Shiar are working for the [[Iconian]]s, who have put Hakeev in charge of an arena on [[Nopada Prime]] in order to test the weaknesses of [[Alpha Quadrant]] species. ({{mission|Coliseum}}) * In [[2409]] Romulan and [[Reman]] fugitives under [[D'Tan]] and [[Obisek]], opposing Sela and the [[Tal Shiar]], are motivated by the new vacuum of power. Together they found the [[Romulan Republic]], a peaceful faction open towards the Federation and the Klingons, with [[New Romulus]] as its capital. * In order to dissuade the Federation from its alliance with the Romulan Republic, Sela holds a peace conference between the Star Empire and the Federation in the [[Agrama System]]; however, the conference is a cover for an attack on [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]]. ({{mission|Empress Sela}}) * Sela and Colonel [[Hakeev]] attempt to brainwash Romulan Republic players into working for the Tal Shiar. ({{mission|Mind Game}}) * In the [[Delta Corvi System]] the {{IRW|Leahval}} attempts to take fugitive Reman [[Vrimek]] into custody. ({{mission|Cloak and Dagger}}) * In the [[Iconia System]], Sela demands Federation players to deliver [[Taris]] to the Star Empire her role in the destruction of [[Romulus]]. However, the player instead transfers Taris to the [[U.S.S. Belfast|U.S.S. ''Belfast'']] to be given a Federation trial. ({{mission|Taris}}) * Obisek kills Hakeev following the Reman Resistance's victory over the Tal Shiar in the [[Brea System]]. Sela then engages the attackers in the {{IRW|Leahval}}. After Sela is defeated she disappears as a [[Quas Cruiser|mysterious vessel]] tows the ''Leahval'' through an [[Iconian gateway]]. The resulting power vacuum plunges the Empire even deeper into civil war and causes more elements of the remaining Imperial fleet to break away and defect. ({{mission|Cutting the Cord}}) * [[Khiana]] of the Tal Shiar attempts to do a deal with [[D'Tan]] in order to influence the [[Romulan Republic]] and secure new leadership of the Tal Shiar, which has been in chaos in the absence of Sela and Hakeev. ({{mission|Hidden Camera}}) == Politics and government== [[File:Sela.png|right|thumb|Empress Sela]] The Romulan Star Empire used to be ruled by the '''Romulan Senate''' and the '''Continuing Committee''', both of which were overseen by the [[Praetor]]. In [[2408]], the Romulan Star Empire was transformed into a monarchy ruled by self-proclaimed '''Empress''' Sela on [[Rator III]]. She enjoyed the support of the Empire's noble houses but it is not clear if the Romulan Senate has been dissolved by the latest reforms. === Current head of state === * ''Vacant'' since [[Sela|Empress Sela]]'s disappearance in [[2409]] and detention by the Romulan Republic in [[2410]] === Former heads of state === * Praetor/Empress Sela - 2403-2408 Praetor, 2408-2409 Empress * Praetor [[Taris]] - 2388-2403 (first praetor of the newly constituted Romulan Star Empire) * Praetor [[Chulan]] - 2385-2387 (last praetor of the pre-Hobus Romulan Star Empire) * Praetor [[Tal'aura]] - 2379-2384 * Praetor [[Shinzon]] (only for a short period in 2379 after the Reman coup d'état) * Praetor {{mAlpha|Hiren}} - late 2370s-2379 * Praetor {{mAlpha|Neral}} - 2360s-2370s ==Military== The military arm of the Empire is known as the [[Romulan Star Navy]].
