Paying my Respects

What we knew is gone,
Our home, our lives, all that we were,
Dust, blasted across empty, heartless skies.

But we live, our legacy lives,
In every ship we fly, on ever world we touch,
In our heart, in yours.

There will be challenge,
You will know fear,
But you will overcome, you will survive,
And answer vengeance with blood,
You will do as you must.

Rule cannot be handed to the faithless,
Our legacy cannot be lost to villains,
Bury the past to face the future,
In enemies, find allies.

There is no price we have not paid,
No loss we have not felt,
Our dead world, our long suffering,
These are not ends, we are not ended.

For your crew, for your people,
For this new home,
We must face all doubt,
We must break the strong who would destroy us,
We must overcome the impossible,
We must fight against any and all.

We must, we will, for we are Romulan.

    They did a good job on that opening movie, and on the Romulan expansion in general.

    In my opinion, the Romulan faction has the best intro video.

    Agreed. And that is a beautiful poem.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    If they'd release more expansions like this they'd easily have more people playing and paying. They don't need to introduce a new faction, just the level of story and breadth will do.
    Green people don't have to be.... little.

    The release of legacy of Romulus was the high point of this game.

    I wish the Romulan Republic was a full fledged faction. They can be allied and still be a whole faction you know. Same way KDF and Feds are now.

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    We are. What are you missing?

    The game doesn't treat RRF as a full faction. you have to choose a side to "ally" with for each character, instead of being considered a full fledged member of a Romulan fleet.

    There shouldn't be KDF or Fedroms as people call them. there should be Romulans.

    So it's about missing starbase visuals?

    I honestly don't think that's enough of a bother to even complain, considering how rarely people visit their fleet starbases.

    It's about the issue that romulans can't team up with romulans which is bs to the highest degree. Technically roms share their homeworld with the "enemy faction" which is roms. Brilliant, isn't it?

    a romulan starbase visual is already in the game.

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.

    I once rolled a Rommie. Then I met Tovan the Moaner.

    Then I quit.

    I remember when I rolled my now-main, I used to say "Shut up, Tovan!" several times in every mission. Eventually, he obeyed.

    Ah, good ol' Tovan...

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    Certainly revs you up that intro. Quickly tails off once you meet the chattering nanny. Other than that it's a great series of missions, love my Rommie. Might make a Reman once resources permit.

    Romulan Doffs on NR. Its either fed or KDF doffs.

    It'd be nice to have all of the Boffs too, we can have Romulan but we can't just buy Remans or Rom faction aliens on NR

    This is the speech in Rihan, translated by the Romulan Institute Google+ group.

    Yes, that is the one silly thing. But eventually, there will be proper cross-faction teaming.

    No, there won't, and this is from the programmers. Cryptic wanted to add cross-faction teaming but the engine can't support it without significant recoding.
