The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' was the intelligence gathering agency of the [[Romulan Star Empire]] during its height, and in the years since the destruction of [[Romulus]] in [[2387]] has evolved to become very nearly its primary military force. Although a certain rivalry sometimes exists between the self-proclaimed Empress [[Sela]] and the Tal Shiar, the agency basically serves as her means of projecting power internally and externally. As such, the Tal Shiar is notoriously ruthless and secretive, stopping at nothing to defend the Empire's interests. ==Missions involved== * {{mission|Virinat, Invaded||ROM}}: The Tal Shiar and the [[Elachi]] allies invade [[Virinat]] and abduct or kill most of its inhabitants. * {{mission|Flight from Virinat||ROM}}: The [[player]] saves several escaping colonists from the Tal Shiar. * {{mission|The Helix||ROM}}: The {{IRW|Sharrdar}}, {{IRW|Koval}}, and several other warbirds attack a [[Suliban]] Helix in the [[Suliban Helix System]]. * {{mission|Crossroads at Crateris||ROM}}: The Tal Shiar and the Elachi attack [[Crateris]], though much of the population manages to escape with the player's help. * {{mission|Turning Point||ROM}}: Tal Shiar forces attempt to sabotage a conference being held by the Federation and Klingon Empire on [[Khitomer]] to discuss recognizing and supporting the Romulan Republic. * {{mission|Desperate Measures||ROM}}: In the [[Pilatus System]], the player has to find and destroy a deactivated [[Borg Sphere]] which the Tal Shiar is experimenting on.

Shortly after, Tal Shiar forces besiege the Remans' base on [[Dera IV]]. * {{mission|Coliseum||ALL}}: Colonel [[Hakeev]] has established a base on [[Nopada Prime]], which he uses to study the behavior of various cultures and find the best way to turn them against each other. * {{mission|Cutting the Cord||ALL}}: A Tal Shiar base in the [[Brea System]] comes under attack from Obisek's forces. * {{mission|New Romulus: Staging Area||ALL}}: Players occasionally encounter undercover Tal Shiar agents attempting to infiltrate the nerve center of the [[New Romulus]] colonization efforts. * {{mission|New Romulus: Vastam Peaks||ALL}}: Tal Shiar agents harass [[Avran]]'s scientists in the Vastam Peaks of New Romulus. * {{mission|Carraya System Patrol||ALL}}: Forces of the Tal Shiar attempt to occupy the [[Carraya System]]. * {{mission|Acamar System Patrol||ALL}}: The Tal Shiar engineers a dispute between two [[Acamarian]] clans.
