Dewa

Dewa was an M class star and associated star system located in the Nimbus sector of the Tau Dewa sector block in the Beta Quadrant. After the founding of the Romulan Republic in 2409 the associated system was renamed the New Romulus System. 

History
Dewa was part of the Iconian hegemony approximately 200,000 years ago, and gave the name to, one of the three major Iconian languages. 

During the Sundering the proto-Romulan colony fleet briefly settled on the third planet before eventually moving on to the Romulan system. 

In 2409 Commander Temer of the Romulan Republic dispatched a warbird to search for a planet suitable for a permanent settlement, partly to aid the Republic's case for political recognition from the Federation and Klingon Empire. Dewa was the third system on the list, and after the warbird's commander discovered the lost Sword of the Raptor Star in an ancient Romulan ruin on Dewa III, Temer took it as a sign that the Republic should plant its flag there. A permanent city and military command center were soon constructed on the site where the Sword was recovered. 

Soon after the colony's founding, the Romulan Republican Force had to take to the skies to fend off a major Elachi invasion.
