Changes: Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire

Revision as of 15:05, 28 April 2007

RomulanEmblem — Emblem of the Romulan Star Empire.

The Praetor of the Romulan Star Empire is the head of government for the Romulan state. Officially, the Praetor is third in rank in the Empire behind the Emperor and the Emperor's Legate. In reality the Praetor is often the true power of the Empire, with the Emperor and his Legate fulfilling mainly ceremonial roles. TOS novel: Probe

The Praetor presides over sessions of the Imperial Senate and of the Continuing Committee, controls the Romulan Imperial Fleet and, to a lesser extent, the Tal Shiar. Romulan politics is a notoriously dangerous field, however, and it is not uncommon for praetors to suffer abbreviated terms of office in comparison to other heads of government. Notable Praetors of the Romulan Star Empire have included Dralath, Navariat, Neral, and Hiren. In 2379, Hiren presided over a session of the Imperial Senate that as it was assassinated in its entirety by Shinzon of Remus, who then assumed the title of praetor. Following Shinzon's death, his conspirator within the Senate, Tal'Aura, emerged as the new praetor. TNG novel: Nemesis

Rihannsu Continuity

Prior to 2276, the office of Praetor (Fvillha in Rihannsu) was not held by a single individual. The Praetorate was one of the houses of the Tricameron, together with the Senate (which was counted as two houses). At any given time, there were a dozen or so Praetors, a system which was established after the fall of the Ruling Queen T'Rehu. In the 2270s, most of the power fell into the hands of "The Three," the most cunning of the Praetors who had allied themselves. (TOS novel: The Romulan Way; TOS novel: The Pandora Principle
