Romulans with Klingons

I like the new content, but there is just one minor part that I cannot get past. There is no way the Klingons & Romulans would ever team up in the Star Trek universe.
I mean seriously, these guys hate each other with a passion. In fact, it is even included as part of the game's story-line that the Klingons refused to send any aid to the Romulans when their planet got destroyed.
Now the Romulans are hanging out with Klingons? C'mon now....

Hatred isn't genetic and a country's leaders don't necessarily exude the beliefs of all their people. And many strange alliances have been made throughout history when a greater cause was at stake.
the diplomatic Federation
or the KDF that at least lets you be yourselves somewhat.
KDF treats you like Romulans, the Federation treats you like your another Homo
Sapien
That and the current Chancellor is basically backed by house Duras and they are known to of colluded with the Romulans more than once. I doubt it would be a fair stretch for them to influence J'mpok
There was also Sela who temporarily allied with the Duras Family. They allied again (with the Federation) during the Dominion War.
Before D'Tan and the Republic, the Romulans were The Imperial Star Empire; they posed a threat to the Klingons. Now, it's a mere Romulan Republic; a significantly reduced force that poses little to no threat to the Klingon Empire. Add to the fact, the D'Tan and his Romulans are sharing their technology; it's no surprise that the Klingons have jumped on ship. They're going to get some nice new toys to play with whilst doing one thing that they love to do; fight (in this case, against the Tal Shiar).
It's a win-win for everyone.
...even though I'd have preferred a stand-alone Romulan Faction, we've all got to make do with what we've got. There's little point trying to pick it apart cause it's here to stay.
That is supposedly how they made the jump from the "old style" warbirds (TOS, "Balance of Terror") to the D'Deridex and the other types of vessels which bear some resemblance to Klingon vessel design. (slinge unit construction to modular, with neck/boom/wings...)
I might be wrong on that...I don't stay as up to date with Canon as I used to, and it is my understanding that a lot of "revisionist history" has been implemented since the days of Kirk and Spock...
the alliance was a trade of Cloaking Tech for Klingon D7's.
the sela thing if you think like a romulan what better way to conquer your enemy then to have them in a state of civil war or so weak they not be able to put up much of a fight
and the ds9 war thing they where tricked in to that war

now really after them 2 links could you really see them being friends like it did not happen that would start a blood feud and one I would not see going a way for a very very very very long time hatfields and mccoys any one?
if kdf are still true Klingons after they got dun with the fed war they be turn on them so called romulan friends and turn them in to slaves
system Lord Baal is dead
Aside from when they had an alliance? lol :P
Have you not played the peace-conference mission yet? It was something very similar occurred at Narendra III that led to peace with the Federation, which had seemed like a far-fetched notion prior to that.
9 Episodes = 30+ episodes...?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
It's pronounced "S.T.O." "Stow" sounds idiotic! lol
Let's discuss this further over a root beer, shall we? :cool:
Some fan speculation was the Romulans were developing their singulatiry core technology But it wasn't prefected yet. The alliance was to allow the Romulans to get their hands advanced warp ships until the singularity cores were ready. It's a bit of speculation that makes a lot of sense to me.
The Romulan Republic did save a high-ranking klingon official.
STO is not canon.
Admiral Jorak
Romulan Intelligence
The often turbulent historical relationships between Britain & France immediately popped to mind when reading this.
Would the Klingons see a re-established Empire as a threat then? From the sound of it J'mpok, a Duras ally, would seemingly be more comfortable with Sela's team.
I love this bit of lore. To make humans hesitate, Klingons shove gakk their way. Humans learn to eat it and frequent a DS9 Klingon restaurant. Cardassian put live creatures in eggs in front of tortured humans, hoping to get a reaction. Picard eats. Humans need only open a bottle of root beer, serve roast turkey, and the aliens all want to puke.
I think in game it went a little along the lines of ''He gave his life? For me? For a Klingon?'' when Temer made sure the Tal Shiar's bomb killed only him and not the Klingon representative who was just badmouthing Romulans moments before.
Then something more along the lines of ''Your blood may be green but you fight with the honor of a Klingon'' or something.
As for the Feds, I found T'Nae surprisingly harsh the first time I played this mission, but, it had been a while since I had done Romulan Mystery, so it isn't entirely unexpected.
Nanclus in ST VI
Ambassador Kell working with them
J'Dan expressing "respect"
House Duras and the Romulan alliance they had
Ba'el - half Klingon, half Romulan
The Romulans fighting side by side with Klingons in the Dominion War.
Worf claiming the Romulans fought with honor in Nemesis - WORF, dude.
Know your Trek history before claiming Romulans and Klingons can't "hang" together. C'mon now....
:rolleyes:
The Klingons can get the Romulans back to being a powerful force to be reckoned with in the Galaxy and theeeen... They can go DESTROY THEM in the most Glorious battle of ALL TIME! See how that works?
