Debrune teral'n

The Debrune Teral'n was a trident shaped weapon that was an important artifact within the Romulan Star Empire. This ancient weapon was the greatest symbol within the Romulan government and was held by the Praetor. The burden of carrying the trident and responsibility of finding a home for it rested on the shoulders of the Praetor

In 2387 when the Hobus star exploded leading to a powerful shockwave spreading throughout the quadrant which brought about the destruction of Romulus, the Imperial Romulan Senate managed to survive the destruction of the Romulan homeworld. They were rescued by the Romulan miner Nero who believed that the Star Empire was now dead. Thus, he killed the Praetor and several members of the Senate whereupon he takes the Debrune Teral'n for himself and hatched a plan to destroy all those that brought about the destruction of everything he cared about. 


 * Presumably, the artifact was named after the Debrune and Admiral Debrune.
