Romulans began as a revolutionary group of Vulcans who were referenced as "those who march beneath the Raptor's wings" and refused to accept the Vulcan philosopher Surak's teachings of complete suppression of emotions.
-Since Surak's reforms of embracing logical principles and rejecting emotions spread rapidly across Vulcan in the 4th century, a minority rejected Surak's ideals. Those who marched beneath the banner of the raptor, which became the symbol of the Romulan Star Empire, departed Vulcan in the 4th century. Later, some of their descendants established settlements on the planets Calder II, Dessica II, Draken IV, Yadalla Prime, and Barradas III. An ancient offshoot civilization, called the Debrune, at one time existed on Barradas III, but it had died out by the 24th century.
-At some point, another group settled on twin planets that became known as Romulus and Remus. While Romulus was a Class M planet, Remus was a harsh planet notable only for its dilithium deposits. These two worlds were the foundation of an interstellar empire that expanded to many worlds, reaching across some of the Alpha Quadrant. Eventually that power came to be known as the Romulan Star Empire. -Romulans are noted for their use of disruptor weapons, photon torpedoes, plasma torpedoes, and their signature Cloaking technology, as well as having spaceships that are powered by artificial singularities. In the 22nd century, We display advanced holotechnology and telepresence.
-A number of designs for Romulan starships have been presented. Since Star Trek: The Next Generation, Romulan warships have been referred to as Warbirds. Come FLY WITH THE ORIGINAL ---Imperial Romulan Fleet--- -The Romulan Star Navy, also known as the Romulan Imperial Fleet or Grand Fleet, and commonly referred to as Imperial armada or space fleet Is the space force of the Romulan Star Empire. The Star Navy operates fleets of warbirds, birds-of-prey and other starships and is often at the forefront of the Star Empire's contacts with the Klingon Empire, United Federation of Planets and other external affairs.

First contact
Romulans were aware of Humanity for some time before Earth knew of them. Infiltrating the highest levels of the Vulcan High Command, the Romulans were impressed and confused by Humans. The Enterprise NX-01 inadvertently encountered a Romulan minefield at one point, officially the first time Humanity became aware of the Romulans. Even after fighting the Earth-Romulan War, it wasn't until the 23rd century that Humans actually made visual contact with Romulans. (ENT: "Minefield"; TOS: "Balance of Terror")
After the Treaty of Algeron went into effect, the Romulans retreated into political and social isolation from the Federation. In late 2364, an unprovoked attack on a Romulan outpost near the Federation neutral zone occurred. The Romulans initially suspected the Federation had executed the attack but it was later learned that the Borg were responsible. This event marked the end of Romulan political isolationism with the Federation. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")

15 days and counting till our warbirds hit the holodeck! Where will you stand? With D'Tans bunny humper ways or with Sela's oppressive views? Why not just side with the Imperial Romulan Fleet! Serving legal ale while we watch Sela and D'Tan blow each other up LoL
In keeping with their XENOPHOBIC and arguably racist attitudes, the Romulans tend to conquer species rather than form alliances with them, and individual Romulans tend to treat other species with varying degrees of disdain.
That did not prevent them from employing diplomacy when it suited their purposes. Soon after their emergence from a century of isolation in the mid 2260s, they had established at least two embassies with the Federation. One such embassy was a three-way endeavor on the planet Nimbus III, along with the Klingon Empire, and the other was on Earth itself. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Klingons and Romulans once shared an alliance for a number of years, beginning in the 2260s. Over the years, a number of incidents, including the Khitomer Massacre, led the Klingons to develop a deep-seated hatred for the Romulans, and the Romulans were arguably the species that Klingon society in general despises most of all. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident"; TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
Jolan'tru my friends Aliens in the Romulan faction we need to
let CRYPTIC know thats just wrong if people want to play an Alien they can
do that in the federation or KDF so if you agree with me please let them know.

Here's a little bit of Romulan History 2370 to 2385
The Imperial Romulan State came about as a result of political schism in the Romulan Star Empire following Shinzon's coup in 2379. Several groups vied for power, including those led by two of the group of conspirators that helped bring Shinzon to power; Commander Donatra, and Senator Tal'Aura - the latter who was made the new Praetor. Donatra retained control and support over much of the Imperial Fleet, and put her political allegiance with Braeg, her lover, a former admiral, and Tal'Aura's political adversary. Braeg orchestrated civil unrest in Victory Square on Romulus to try and force Tal'Aura out of office. But Braeg's rebellion was crushed when Tal'Aura brought in heavy weaponry to quell the crowd, prompting Braeg to surrender rather than allow a massacre. For Braeg's treason Tal'Aura had him poisoned and thus cemented Donatra's hatred and opposition to her. The power struggle between Donatra and Tal'Aura continued for about a year until finally in December of 2380, Donatra consolidated her powerbase and made a move against the Star Empire under Tal'Aura; on Achernar Prime she declared the existence of the Imperial Romulan State, with herself as its Empress. Using the parts of the military loyal to her, she took control of Achernar and several other planets, including Xanitla, Ralatak, and Virinat. These worlds were the primary agricultural planets of the Star Empire, which effectively meant that Donatra now effectively held the Empire's food supply hostage. The state was almost immediately recognized by the Klingon Empire, who were delighted at the prospect of the Romulans being fractured further. Although the United Federation of Planets initially refused to intervene in what it considered an internal Romulan affair, even as it offered humanitarian aide to hungry Romulans upon the loss of their farming planets, by early 2381 the Federation was forced to recognize the sovereignty of the Imperial Romulan State as a result of pressure from the Klingons and a need to show solidarity with its ally.The Federation and Imperial Romulan State established ambassadorships to one another's states, with Donatra appointing former warbird commander Jovis as her ambassador to the Federation. During the Borg invasion of that year, Jovis commented to Federation President Nanietta Bacco that Donatra wished to open a new era of peace with the Federation. The strength of that desire was demonstrated a short while later when the Imperial State warbird Verithrax sacrificed itself to save the Federation planet Ardana from Borg attack.In the wake of the Borg invasion, the Federation's resources were stretched thin and the aid they had been providing to Romulus since Shinzon's coup was considered a resource they could use elsewhere. But despite the Star Empire's desperate need for food, Donatra refused to trade with Tal'Aura. The Federation sent a variety of diplomats and Starfleet captains for talks with Donatra, finally recruiting Professor Sonek Pran to meet with her in the hope of convincing her to start trade relations between the two Romulan states and providing the Federation some relief. Where others had failed, Pran succeeded in convincing Donatra that she had already won her feud with Tal'Aura. Seeing that her ultimate goal was to reunite the Romulan people as Tal'Aura's power crumbled, Pran told her that the Empire did not have enough military force to engage the State in open war. With the State having a stranglehold on Romulan food resources, Pran argued that if Donatra were to trade with the Empire, the people would be all too aware of who was responsible for them being fed. However when Donatra tried to open talks with Tal'Aura, all she got was rejection. A short while later, Tal'Aura's motivations for rebuffing Donatra were revealed: the Star Empire had become members of a new interstellar alliance known as the Typhon Pact: a group of nations united in currency, trade and technology in opposition to the Federation and the Klingons. In response, the Pact's competition invited several neighboring powers including the Imperial Romulan State to attend a summit to discuss an expansion of the Khitomer Accords and create a new group to counter the Pact. Donatra immediately accepted this offer.As of late 2381, however, no official relationship had been formally created between the Federation and the Imperial Romulan State aside from discussions of expanding their relationship. This had been seen by Empress Donatra as a problem especially when she came under an attack by Praetor Tal'Aura. Tal'Aura launched a propaganda campaign against the Imperial Romulan State and Donatra herself calling for reunification of the Romulan Empires. When Donatra agreed to meet with Tal'Aura, she was quickly arrested on fabricated evidence implicating her in the attempted murder of Ambassador Spock of Vulcan. Without a leader, the Imperial Romulan State was reabsorbed into the Romulan Star Empire one month following Donatra's arrest.In 2381 Donatra formed the Imperial Romulan State when she and sections of the military loyal to her took control of several Romulan agricultural worlds. She declared herself Empress of the Imperial Romulan State with her capital planet as Achernar In 2383, the Star Empire's forces under command of Fleet Commander Tomalak attacked Donatra's fleet at Xanitla. Donatra's forces were victorious in the battle, and as an additional blow to the Star Empire Admiral Taris and the twelve ships under her command defected to the Imperial State. By the following year this crushing defeat pushed Tal'Aura to reluctantly open peace talks with the Imperial State to establish borders and a neutral zone. Donatra sent Taris to Romulus as her representative but Tal'aura was assassinated shortly after. Donatra strongly refuted any claims of her involvement in the assassination and recalled Taris in preparation for any subsequent offensive.
In 2385, in the aftermath of Tal'Aura's assassination Donatra used the opportunity to win the hearts of the Romulan people by delivering food aid to non-military worlds in the Star Empire. Together with Proconsul Sela and Tal Shiar leader Rehaek, Donatra agreed to fold the worlds of the Imperial Romulan State back into the Star Empire, while she retained command of the military - keeping most of her forces away from Romulus in case the peace did not hold. The newly reunited Romulan Senate then appointed
Senator Chulan the new Praetor. (ST website: The Path to 2409 and most of the information is from the books TITAN,A Singular Destiny, Articles of the Federation, Typhon Pact novel Rough Beasts of Empire)
