It was tied to the "Sphere of Influence" Featured Episode. My guess is that it'll come back when they do another round of the Featured Episode replay event.
Or, perhaps, buffing "Atmosphere Assault"'s drops a bit. It never drops decent amounts of Romulan marks and if you have a bad round, sometimes "as low as two marks". I am not exaggerating that, either. Or perhaps fixing The Vault Shuttle event so it's actually playable by people who aren't running Delta Fliers and Peregrines in AP and Mk XII rep gear.
Even better, more new content against these two neglected enemies, the elachi and tholians, that gives better rewards, seeing as both were just kind of brushed aside in favor of the voth and borg, respectively.
I left the game in March last year in large part due to everyone saying "Wait for May!". Well, I waited, and I hopped back in last month (barely hours too late to get a free Obelisk carrier, d'oh!).
Lo and behold, the new Dyson system is amazing! Ground combat is fun and engaging, smaller-but-instant rewards, stuff to do everywhere!
Excitedly, I loaded up the PvE queues, and... still only three Romulan events, none of which earn much in the way of Marks, none of them higher than Normal difficulty.
Just... can we have Elite versions? Please? Yes, I know I can chase rabbits, but that's really more WoW fetch-and-grind than Star Trek. Alternatives are always nice.
So, that's my request.
ps--Oh, and please see fit to retro-reward a once-and-current subscriber that free Obelisk everyone else got? I missed it by hours, man!
TL;DR-- Most certainly agree with OP. Romulan Marks are a pain in the rear to get compared to everything else--and chasing rabbits, to get at most one Eppoh every five days (often less), which MIGHT give you 200-400 after another four days... is not an answer or a solution.
Romulan Rep NEEDS more ways to make Marks, and upping the challenge of existing Space missions should be easy and simple.

There needs to be a space variant for high Romulan marks.

Leave The Vault Ensnared and Azure Nebula Rescue alone, bring the Elachi Alert back, and give it an elite version that rewards
* 25 Romulan Marks
* 960 Dilithium Ore
* Choice of 50 Fleet Marks or Additional 50 Romulan Marks
Add 2 more completely new Romulan-focused STFs with Elite versions which reward:
* 60 Romulan Marks
* 960 Dilithium Ore
* Choice of 60 Additional Romulan Marks or 60 Fleet Marks
Change The Breach: Elite so that it rewards
* 25 Dyson Marks
* Voth Cybernetic Implant
* 960 Dilithium Ore
* Choice of Additional Dyson Marks or Fleet Marks (# based on optional)
Change Storm the Spire: Elite so that it rewards
* 25 Dyson Marks
* Voth Cybernetic Implant
* 960 Dilithium Ore
* Choice of Additional Dyson Marks of Fleet Marks (# based on optional)
There, now you have a ton of STFs that reward similarly to Borg STFs

And bring the Elachi Alert back!
