Romulan Republic


 * For the Romulan state of the same name in the mirror universe, see Romulan Republic.

The Romulan Republic, also known as the New Romulan Empire, is a breakaway state of the Romulan Star Empire following the Hobus supernova of 2387. Its capital is New Romulus (Mol'Rihan in the Romulan language), in the Nimbus sector of the Tau Dewa sector block. 

The Republic was formed in 2409 by Romulan and Reman refugees and resistance fighters, opposed to the totalitarian, secretive "old regime" of Empress Sela, and favoring peace with the Romulans' traditional enemies, the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire. D'Tan, the leader of the unification movement that favors the Romulan people one day rejoining their Vulcan cousins, serves as Proconsul of the new Republic, aided by the Reman resistance leader Obisek.

The Republic's chief enemies are the Tal Shiar, the Star Empire's dreaded secret police, and the Tholian Assembly, which captures Republic ships and holds them in drydocks in the Azure Nebula. Hirogen hunters - hired by Sela as mercenaries - have also been reported on New Romulus and in surrounding sectors.

Captains in service to the Republic also serve alongside either Federation or Klingon forces as they serve in defense of their new nation.
