    While nothings been said officially, yes, the assumption is that the Romulans will be the next playable faction added to the game, probably in the next 6 months to a year, but that's purely a guess.

    You will start the tutorial(a rather long one) playing as Federation, after completing a mission called "Stop the Signal" around Level-6 of Tier 1, you'll be able to create a Klingon Alt, and get your first Tier Klingon ship.

    Which side is the most powerful is up for much debate, and changes from Tier to Tier.

    The game is heavily driven towards team play, so regardless of individual ship abilities, usually the best (in numbers and skills) team will win.

    Hope that helps...

    A recent interview stated that Cryptic planned on getting a new Faction out some time later this year - probably as an Expansion Pack. Cryptic recently had a poll about which Faction should be first. Last time I check Romulans were in the lead.

    If you want to play a Romulan right now, many players have used the alien charactor to make a Fed. or Klingon alien that looks like a Romulan. I don't have any links, but one guy has a link in his sig. showing how to make several of the more popular alien races.

    The poll mentioned showed Romulans in the lead by a huge margin....I believe it was between 60 and 70% of the total.

    So, I'd be expecting the Romulans as the next faction, most likely in the first expansion. Hopefully, the alien generator will tide you over til then....you are far from the only one waiting eagerly for Romulans, the first and best major "enemy" race in ST ( yes, they appeared before Klingons).
