We all know that the romulans are getting thier own expantion and we'll play as one of the rebels(republic) but now this is a question that must be answered.
We will see Mirror Romulans? the more importantly we'll get mirror romulans ships?
[Optional]
What color will be romulans mirror ships? klingons are almost Pink-ish. :P

I would say red but they got that, and blue is Remen sooooooooo.....Yellow because they're mellow.
well, one of their type hull is brown. red is an option (pheonix) or full dark blue.
Let's take temperal ambassador... make all the prisoners Romulan and or Reman.
Replace all the Tholians with Terran guards. change the jumpsuit tholian logo to a terran logo.
Change the ent-C ro a romulan ship.. and boom... there we go.. mirror romulans done :P you'll be born a slave and you'll die a slave :O
Normal / Mirror Universe
Feds: blue / yellow*
Klingons: Green / Red
Vulcans: Brown / Red
Romulans: Green / Brown.
(since primary hull colors are greys and whites the Blue/Yellow refers to detail colors on the hull which in STO is Yellow for Mirror Universe
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
care to tell me in what episode?
I believe it's non-canon reference to the Dark Mirror book.
Only on-screen mention was DS9 / Looking Glass where Sisko mentioned negotiating with the Romulans.
And in a later episode it was flat out stated that the Romulans would make a viable ally for the recently liberated Terran people.
I don't know what they should do with Mirror Romulans, they've never been seen on screen and they've never been well defined. From what we've seen of the Vulcans, Cardassians and Klingons in the mirror universe, it seems like they were very much the same as they are in this universe, so I'd guess "mirror Romulans" would be the same aswell. On the other hand, in STO Klingon "mirror ships" have slightly different boff layouts, implying Cryptic is taking the view that Mirror Klingons are more science oriented.
From my PoV.
The Mirror Klingons still view honor above everything else, however, they're not full warriors.
The Terran Empire is a romulan(Terran?) star empire; Slaving or wiping out species, since the conquering of terra/earth, they're more a rebel group now. also vulcans seems very different in the mirror verse.
the Romulans should be a republic or a federation-esque faction. in DS9's episode, points that the romulans exist and they would be an valuable ally for the terran people.
It all depends ultimately on what Cryptic does, of course. That's just what I've been able to glean from a few sources.
Well in that case we don't need the mirror Romulans, they are already in the game as the Romulan Republic led by D'Tan.
from what i know the romulan mirror counterparts never venture outside their own borders, so whatever they are called or what they look like is pure speculation. for all we know they could be plutocratic. but looking at mirror vulcans, in the prime universe most of them are rigid and inflexible but in the mirror they are more robust and more flexible in their methods. so on that basis, romulans should more more logical, less aggressive and non deceitful, perhaps to the point they consider themselves above the petty external problems of the klingon-cardassian alliance or the terran empire.

Ah, but any change in Vulcan behavior that occurs by ToS eras or after will be tainted by generations of being a conquered subject species of the Terran Empire, a historical divergence that occured well after they parted ways with the Romulans.
Before they were conquered though, during the mirror universe's own first contact between Humans and Vulcans, the Vulcans followed the same open, honest, logical, trusting and rigidly adhered too protocols that they used during their first contact in the main universe, nothing extra robust and flexible to be seen here. To their detriment.
but when the humans risen up to kill the vulcans at the warp flight, that is where the mirror universe began, the problem with alternative dimensions is the fact is you do not know where they start or end sometimes, but this one started when the vulcan was shot at blank range by cochrane, and to the mirror universe people asking this same question, they would state it all went wrong when cochrane killed that vulcan and he could of had peace.
so the ball began to roll and look at what you got, vulcan has been made a slave race like the andorians and tellarites to the humans the terrans, vulcans are more aggressive and less restrained by their emotions by a certain amount, andorians have always been strong and no stranger to aggression, so probably not much difference from their prime counterparts. so romulans may have continued the same path from prime, but the fact they do not engage in any conflicts means there is a difference, when romulans gain territory they dont give it up and the prime romulans are imperialist and expansionist, but the impression i get from the mirror side is that the romulans keep to their own affairs and dont help anyone. beyond that i can not make a more solid case.

It's likely that the Romulan Star Empire in the mirror universe only seems more isolationist because the Terran Empire looks like a harder target than the Federation and all of our experience with the mirror universe comes from that perspective.
For instance, in the primary universe it's been hinted at a few times that the RSE has fought a few wars with the Breen Confederacy. Given how limited our exposure with the Breen of the Primary universe has been, and how it's been nonexistent in the Mirror Universe, it's possible those wars went on without being mentioned at all. It's also possible that, rather than focus any resources into a few unproductive wars with the Federation, mirror Romulans went all in against the Breen and have conquered them. Or it's possible that, in a move similar to the Klingon Empire and Cardassian Union, that the Romulans and Breen have allied themselves in an agreement of mutual defense against the aggressive Terran Empire.
Any of these things are possible along with a bunch of other fascinating scenarios, our limited knowledge of the Mirror Universe doesn't rule any of this out, but what's more important, not a one of these scenarios requires that we change the inherent personality or character of the Romulan people. Which is, I think, more in line with the mirror universe as it's depicted where the only real change in racial personality happens with the Federation.
Cryptic would have pretty much free reign on any story involving them.
