you dont even know how much of an emotional wreck that image and those words make me (well you probably do Brandon now that I think about it) im all teary-eyed again
*edit, as my emotional state created an effect of sub-par spelling which is now corrected
If this isn't a playable Romulan faction, please say so now. Leaving it for later will only cause excessive rage (though I'm sure whatever it is will be awesome ).
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone

Too true we need a new playable faction the 2 we have gone stale, new blood new challenges and even if it was a mini faction it's still all good.

If we are actually joining a Romulan faction, then it will likely be D'Tan's New Romulus (currently defined in the story as "good guys" and friends to Fed/Klingon), rather than Sela's Imperial Remnant or the Tal Shiar. I do hope that we will be able to have both Romulan and Reman playable races right out of the gate if so.
And my Legions will march beneath the Raptor's wings as I give my speech, Urbi et Orbi et Cosmi, and claim the position of Emperor in Sela's absence. Under my leadership, we shall crush the Klingons, make peace with Federation, and, as a follower of D'Tan and Spock's teachings, reunify with our Vulcan cousins. We will rebuild into the ultimate empire, one whose legacy will last indefinitely.

We will make peace with the Vulcan through superior firepower!

Agreed. The way it's being teased, there are many people who think it could mean a Romulan faction. If that is not the case, it will be terrible.
If it's a Romulan "faction" that is played only 1-20 on their own, then they split off to join Fed or KDF, that will also be terrible.
If it's a Romulan faction that starts at 21 like the KDF, but you can only access it after playing a KDF character to 50 (or another level) that would be pretty cool.

I wouldn't have thought they'd do that.
It all depends on the next big release; they'll either have completed the KDF faction (having you start at level 1 from a first character perspective (in that you wont need to play through a FED character first), or they'll release the Romulan Faction as per the KDF requirements; you need to reach a certain FED level before unlock.
If the former, then there's a chance the Romulan Faction will be released in a whole lot of glory, complete with levels 1 through 50. I'd like to also say to everyone who ever stated there wouldn't be a 3rd faction. You were WRONG!
This teaser has Romulan Faction written all over it. It would be a seriously stupid move by Cryptic to produce something like this, knowing the gossip and speculation it'll receive, only for them to misguide us. If they think they've got unhappy players / fans now, they'll have a lot worse if it's all fake. :P
As for it's actual state, I'd be content with it being level 20 - 50 for the moment. At least it would be there. Something for them to later work on. Go Greens!!!
i hope if its a new playable faction they give us 1 free character slot so we dont have to buy a new one just to play new content they added after we made our characters in the current system

If You in fact do so..., I will of course play it with As mUch GUSTo, as I can possibly muster.

I don't care I will kill of any of my characters...Just tell me who and he or she is dead DEAD I tell you...GONE...Nothing like welcoming a Romulan faction if it happens than backstabbing my own Characters. :cool:

I love your guys' tease here. I can only assume, as most other players, that you're referring to a playable Romulan faction (or, I suppose, as least playable Romulan characters). If you build it, you bet I'll march! Romulans rock. I've wanted to play one such that over a year ago (long before the idea of New Romulus) I used the Alien Creator and STOWiki's Alien Race Guide to make a Romulan for myself. Her name is T'Pe, and I'm so very pleased you guys are referencing Marching Under the Raptor's Wings as I use that in T'Pe's bio where I explain about her currently working for the Federation:
...In her heart she holds her true allegiance to those who march beneath the Raptor's Wings, and she yearns for the day when the Empire will take it's rightful place in the Stars.

You like teasing us, do you?
I will march, but if I can't do that as a Romulan in may I will ... well ... furiously drink a cup of coffee I guess.

And funny that Romulan is just a really funky English script, "Beneath the Raptor's Wing".

If Cryptic is smart and IF this is NOT the sign of a third faction ... They need to say so now before it snowballs.
