The Nausicaan space trait "Pirate", afaik is a straight damage increase...how much i dont know. In the link below are the stats for Romulan Operative. The one you really want is Superior Romulan Operative (SRO) but if you cant afford it the lesser version are ok too.
For BoFF combos the more typical ones you can run are:
1) all Romulan Operatives, Subterfuge trait is very common on Romulans check just to be sure they have this too.
2) all Romulan Operatives, but 1 Reman with Infiltrator. When you decloak you get a 5 second buff that increases damage. The infiltrator trait increases the duration on that damage buff from 5 seconds to 15 seconds. Again with subterfuge, make they all have it (which they should).
Very nice! You get a choice of one every 15 right? Does that include level 15? And are they free and just selling for a high price or do you have to buy it?
As you level up at certain intervals Romulan Command, KDF Command or Starfleet will contact you. They say grats yadda yadda, then you get to pick 1 out of 3 displayed boffs. The boffs list is usually random, but you have a good chance of getting the SRO. I believe the intervals is 15-24-and i dont know. When you get an auto-hail come up just make sure to pay attention to what it is cause they could either be giving you a mission or giving you a boff reward.
As a Romulan player you will get Tovan, Veril, Satra, and the other guy automatically added to your bridge officer list. But any other random boffs that are rewarded to you will go on your candidate list. You can mail candidate boffs to your alts, other people, or you can sell them on the exchange. I *think* if you make a boff candidate a part of your crew and later on decide to sell them, you can do this...but i have never done this myself so i cant confirm.
once a boff candidate is commissioned/part of your crew you can only trade him directly to another player, just not sell on Exchange. Candidates can be put on the Exchange.

3) all Pirates-useful if you are on a budget
