Some how just Reman and Romulan seem too sparse.
Here is some suggestions I think would fit with Romulans.
Ktarians, thier they almost took over the federation with an addictive mind altering video game, the kind of non violent conquest that Romulans would respect.
Orions- Honestly I'd love to be able to move my Orion Character over to the Romulans, it'd be a better fit for the Orions then Klingons. I doubt this would happen sadly.
Trill and liberated borg, because everyone else has them
Edo because the Romulans would better understand thier laws, yet would not be put off by thier idyllic existance like Klingons would.
Yaridians because there cunning and manipulative.
Some people think the Horegin, but honestly they fit better with Klingons.
Viadeens would be cool with the Romulans.
Suliban would fit as well.

They wouldn't bother the Edo because they are useless AND have a ship-sized alien protecting them and the Orions wouldn't join them because the Romulans would be harder to manipulate.
Sometimes, if you want to bury the hatchet with a Klingon, it has to be in his skull. - Captain K'Tar of the USS Danu about J'mpok.
'Fail' in terms of 'conflicts heavily with canon'.
That's all I can think of. A cool all faction species would be El-Aurians.
Romulans
Remans
Liberated Borg Romulans for lifers
We never see any non-Klingon serving in the KDF on the shows, and that is what defines what is canon what isn't.
And you apparently know nothing of the organisational structure of these Empires. Both Klingons and Romulans conquer and rule over other species, but they don't let them join their ranks. They remain servants. Romulans in particular are highly xenophobic and this should be somehow resembled in their faction ingame.
Other Beta Quadrant species, according to http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Star_Charts and http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Beta_Quadrant
are the Son'a, Axanar, Organian, Yattho, the Hierarchy and the Fen Domar (speculative). These are the only non-Federation and Klingon Empire affiliated species.
It's unlikely that the Organians would join any side so that just leaves the other species. Three of which were never seen on screen which leaves Cryptic the door wide open to design them as they see fit.
This is true too! I'd agree with this statement but given that the Klingons (in-game) have Gorns, Naussicans, Orions and Aliens (via the species creator), it's probable that Cryptic will write up some kind of backstory for other species to be allied to the Romulans. Maybe as allies, mercenaries, conquered people (like the Gorn), who knows.
Reman
Hirogen
Lyran (or another cat race) [Z-store]
Flaxian [Z-store]
Liberated Borg (Romulan) {lifetimers}
Alien
If Hirogen, then they should be a one-time limited purchase via the Z-Store. It's highly unlikely a group of Hirogen would choose to serve upon Romulan Ships. The same would apply to Vulcan Reunificationists.
The Suliban would be a welcome addition; they're similar in prospect, they're sly, they're cunning, and they're well suited. I wouldn't mind seeing some version of the Fen Domar also, in addition to the Vaudwaar.
Did we ever see what a Fen Domar looks like?
No, they were only mentioned.
Sona were supposed to be reconciling with the Baku after Insurrection.
The Fen Domar, I personally do NOT want Cryptic to have them join with the Romulans. Because from what Admiral Janeway said in Endgame, they were a powerful threat. So I could easily see them being a seperate faction / empire that Cryptic could use as part of a Beta Quadrant expansion.
Not to mention that the Fen Domar were apparently somewhere between Earth and the Delta / Beta Border, they would be too far to even be considered as part of the Romulan Star Empire. Hirogen got away with it since the Network went all the way to Romulan Space.
So please Cryptic, save the Fen Domar as a new threat in an expansion.
Orions wearing KDF uniform... I dont think so... Gorn maybe.
I cant see an Hirogen or Reman wearing a Romulan Fleet uniform! :rolleyes:

The existing reputation system could still apply to them, as they work up the ranks of their native government and gain the trust of D'Tan, Obisek and other key leadership figures.
Early level content could involve them in defending the nascent state from Sela's Tal Shiar faction, progressing to other FEs as needed.
Well, guess what this game is supposed to be based on said TV shows. It wouldn't make much sense for Cryptic to throw the information from these shows over board just to please a bunch of people who give a damn about it and just want whatever comes to their mind, like the neverending whining for the battlecloak which pops up here at least once every 10 days.
True, Cryptic would have to make seperate uniforms for every species but I doubt they will do that considering their history with KDF uniform options. So I guess we will either see limited species options (Romulans, Remans, Liberated Romulan Borg) or a large number of species who are all dressed in Romulan military uniforms. Especially Hirogen would look very silly in those.
Romulan
Reman
Alien
and nothing else
You need to have Reman as well. In ST: Nemesis, Riker mentioned that the Romulans used Remans as shock troops for boarding parties during the Dominion War.
They also joined the Dominion. In one episode, Damar asked the Changeling why the Son'a couldn't defend a shipyard that was about to be attacked by the Alliance. That is when Damar realized that the Dominion didn't care about the Cardassians and he decided to start the plan to free themselves.
Insurrection took place after the war so at this time the Son'a would be with the Baku.
I doubt Hirogen would join D'Tan...I haven't been to new Romulus much yet but aren't there Hirogen on New Romulus trying to TRIBBLE things up?
I would like to see Joined Trill...well because they are with the other two factions, obviously Liberated Borg...because I think D'Tans Romulans would be more willing to help and rescue fallen allies.
Aliens...same because of Joined Trill.
So that would be Romulans, Remans, Liberated Borg, Joined Trill, and Aliens. I would say wouldn't be to bad for a blooming new faction.
