The '''Romulans''' ([[memoryalpha:Romulan Language|Romulan]]: '''Rihannsu''') are a humanoid race from the planet [[Romulus]] in the [[Beta Quadrant]]. The Romulans are biological cousins of [[memoryalpha:Vulcan|Vulcan]]s, as they were descended from those who rejected [[memoryalpha:Surak|Surak]]'s reforms during the Time of Awakening. The [[Romulan Star Empire]] is the Romulan state and one of the major powers in the [[Milky Way Galaxy|galaxy]].

=== Ancient origins ===
 +
[[Commander]] Spock once theorized that Sargon's people may have colonized [[memoryalpha:Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]] some 600,000 years ago. Sargon believed that Humans and Vulcans (and therefore also Romulans) might even be descendants of their early travelers.
 +
 +
With the discovery of ancient humanoid progenitors in the [[24th Century]], most humanoid lifeforms in the known galaxy were found to have a "seed" genetic code guiding their evolution to the humanoid form.
 +
 +
=== Modern origins ===
 +
When Surak's reforms of embracing logical principles and rejecting emotions spread rapidly across Vulcan in the 4th century, a minority rejected Surak's ideals. Those who marched beneath the banner of the raptor, which became the symbol of the Romulan Star Empire, departed Vulcan in the 4th century. Later, some of their descendants established settlements on the planets [[memoryalpha:Calder II|Calder II]], [[memoryalpha:Dessica II|Dessica II]], [[memoryalpha:Draken IV|Draken IV]], [[memoryalpha:Yadalla Prime|Yadalla Prime]], and [[memoryalpha:Barradas III|Barradas III]]. An ancient offshoot civilization, called the [[memoryalpha:Debrune|Debrune]], at one time existed on Barradas III, but it had died out by the [[24th Century]].
 +
 +
At some point, another group settled on twin planets that became known as [[Romulus]] and [[Remus]]. While Romulus was a Class M planet, Remus was a harsh planet notable only for its dilithium deposits. These two worlds were the foundation of an interstellar empire that expanded to many worlds, reaching across some of the Beta Quadrant. Eventually that power came to be known as the Romulan Star Empire.
 +
 +
In [[2387]], a star close to Romulus went supernova. Although Ambassador Spock attempted to prevent the supernova from striking the planet using a substance known as red matter, he was ultimately unsuccessful and as the hyper-accelerated shockwave hit, the surface of Romulus was heavily damaged by the impact, and the planet was wracked by seismic tremors as the damage permeated through to cause a disruption to the planet's core. The remaining members of the [[Romulan Senate]], still newly-reformed after the [[memoryalpha:Star Trek: Nemesis|Shinzon coup]], almost immediately accepted offers of help from the Federation in dealing with the largest natural disaster in known history.
 +
 +
== External affairs ==
 +
=== First contact ===
 +
Romulans were aware of Humanity for some time before [[Earth]] knew of them. Infiltrating the highest levels of the [[memoryalpha:Vulcan High Command|Vulcan High Command]], the Romulans were impressed and confused by Humans. The [[memoryalpha:Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'' NX-01]] inadvertently encountered a Romulan minefield at one point, officially the first time Humanity became aware of the Romulans. Even after fighting the [[Earth-Romulan War]], it wasn't until the 23rd century that Humans actually made visual contact with Romulans.
 +
 +
After the [[memoryalpha:Treaty of Algeron|Treaty of Algeron]] went into effect, the Romulans retreated into political and social isolation from the Federation. In late 2364 an unprovoked attack on a Romulan outpost near the Federation [[neutral zone]] occurred. The Romulans initially suspected the [[Federation]] had executed the attack but it was later learned that the [[Borg]] were responsible. This event marked the end of Romulan political isolationism with the Federation.
 +
 +
=== Relationships with other species ===
 +
In keeping with their xenophobic and arguably racist attitudes, the Romulans tend to conquer species rather than form alliances with them, and individual Romulans tend to treat other species with varying degrees of disdain.
 +
 +
That did not prevent them from employing diplomacy when it suited their purposes.  Soon after their emergence from a century of isolation in the mid 2260s, they had established at least two embassies with the Federation. One such embassy was a three-way endeavor on the planet Nimbus III, along with the Klingon Empire, and the other was on Earth itself.
 +
 +
Klingons and Romulans once shared an alliance for a number of years, beginning in the 2260s. Over the years, a number of incidents, including the Khitomer Massacre, led the Klingons to develop a deep-seated hatred for the Romulans, and the Romulans were arguably the species that Klingon society in general despises most of all.
 +
 +
A [[Cardassian]] embassy existed on Romulus for a time, and Elim Garak was "employed" there as a "gardener," suggesting that the two species maintained an active diplomatic relationship. In 2371 Romulan and Cardassian agents in the [[Tal Shiar]] and the [[Obsidian Order]] cooperated in an attempted attack on the Dominion. The Romulans had certainly cut ties with the Cardassians by the time they entered in to the [[memoryalpha:Dominion War|Dominion War]], but when their relationship ended prior to this was unclear. 
 +
 +
One common saying among the Romulans was "''Never turn your back on a [[Breen]].''"  While this statement could be taken as partially humorous and not in itself indicative of hostilities between the two species, the Breen Thot's apparent condition that the Breen be given Romulus in exchange for their help in the Dominion War suggested there was some degree of unfriendly history between the two.
 +
 +
The species that Romulans seem to dislike most, however, were Vulcans, and this feud goes back many centuries. The two powers once fought in a war that lasted 100 years, that was ignited due to a misunderstanding created by one of [[memoryalpha:Quinn|Q]]'s self-destructive stunts.
 +
 +
The two species would remain distrustful of one another for an incredibly long time, but some Romulans grew tired of this, and a grassroots movement for reunification of the two species was active for a time on Romulus.  It was generally assumed that after the split, Romulans and Vulcans were unaware of their common ancestry until the 23rd century.
 +
 +
== Physiology ==
 +
Due to their shared ancestry, Vulcans and Romulans possessed very similar physiology, including varied skin colour. Romulans had pointed ears, eyebrows that were arched and up-swept, and copper-based blood that appeared green when oxygenated in the arteries, or copper or rust-colored when deoxygenated in the veins. Most Romulans had two brow ridges above the bridge of their nose, forming a V-shape on the forehead. However, a minority of Romulans lack these ridges, making them outwardly indistinguishable from Vulcans. These "browless" Romulans were predominant in the 23rd century, but their population appeared to have severely diminished by the 24th century.
 +
 +
The Romulan heart is grey in colour.
 +
 +
Despite their common ancestry there were also many subtle internal physiological differences between Vulcans and Romulans. Their life signs registered distinctly enough on the scanners of the USS ''Enterprise'' in 2268 that officer Pavel Chekov was able to distinguish his crewmate Spock from the crew complement of a Romulan starship, though he did note the difficulty of the task.
 +
 +
The physical differences between Romulans and Vulcans were evidenced in Dr. Beverly Crusher's failed attempt to treat a Romulan, Patahk, who had suffered advanced synaptic breakdown, with the methods used to treat Vulcans. In fact, it was later determined that the genetic similarities between Romulans and [[Klingon]]s allowed for the two species to have a compatible ribosome match to effect treatment.
 +
 +
The Terothka virus was a disease unique to Romulan physiology. Romulans were also susceptible to Tuvan Syndrome.
 +
 +
There were numerous instances of Romulans successfully mating with other species, as evidenced in Sela (Romulan/Human), Ba'el (Romulan/Klingon), and the father of Simon Tarses (Romulan/Human).
 +
 +
Romulans lacked the rigorous mental disciplines developed by the followers of Surak. They were a passionate people, easily moved to extreme emotions.
 +
 +
However, like their biological cousins, Romulans possessed greater physical strength than that of a human.
 +
 +
== Society ==
 +
In Romulan society, military/political rank influences social standing. Because Romulans were members of a militant civilization, who considered defending the Romulan Empire and their own personal honour of foremost importance, military service and its accompanying rank were decisive factors in determining social eminence. However, while the military played an important role in Romulan society, it was the Romulan Senate that controls the government.
 +
[[File:Romulan senate.jpg|thumb|The Romulan Senate in session in 2379]]
 +
At one point in history, Romulus was a sovereign nation ruled by an Empress, as indicated by [[Q]]. By the 23rd century the highest position of power was held by the [[Praetor]], who presided over the [[Romulan Senate]]. The Praetor headed the [[Romulan Continuing Committee|Continuing Committee]], which was comprised of the Empire's most elite individuals, which make decisions of the utmost importance.
 +
 +
By the [[24th century]], the government of Romulus was dependent upon the [[Tal Shiar]], the Romulan secret police, to maintain order and stability among both civilians and the military. The Tal Shiar was known for its brutal tactics, which included routine kidnapping, torture, and assassination. Many Romulans fear even expressing dissenting opinions as not to spark the interest of the Tal Shiar. There was also indications that tension existed between the military and the Tal Shiar.
 +
 +
Romulan society was based upon a highly structured caste system. Unlike most of the highly evolved species in the Alpha and Beta quadrants, Romulans still practised slavery, specifically the [[Reman]]s, which they used for slave labour and as shock troops.
 +
 +
Romulans tended to be highly xenophobic, engaging in extended periods of isolationism, and could be perceived as outright racist to other species, believing themselves to be superior. At least some Romulans believe that one day the Romulan Empire will rule the entire galaxy. According to some [[Starfleet]] engineers, there was no piece of technology in existence that the Romulans didn't claim they invented before everyone else.
 +
 +
Romulan society did not appear to have gender biases. Both males and females commanded warships, could obtain high political positions and could be members of the Tal Shiar.
 +
 +
== Culture and tradition ==
 +
The Romulans lack the rigorous mental disciplines developed by the followers of Surak.  Like the Vulcans, the Romulans have given up unrestrained violence as a way of life.  However, in the case of the Romulans this has been replaced with a controlled deviousness: As a species the Romulans are generally thought of as duplicitous, a reputation reinforced by the actions of their government over time.
 +
 +
During the 23rd century, Romulans practised the execution of state criminals, by means both painful and unpleasant.  Prior to the presenting of the charges, the Romulans allow the accused a Right of Statement.
 +
 +
Reluctance to rely on overt hostility generally leads the Romulans to play a waiting game with their opponents, attempting to manipulate an adversary into breaking – or appearing to break – an agreement so as to give them a solid justification for striking.
 +
 +
They were also well known for fearing disgrace over death. With this frame of mind, Romulan parents dispose of any newborn carrying birth defects as the alternative would mean a waste of resources.
 +
 +
The totalitarian nature of Romulan society, in which dissent was often a crime and Romulan security officers masquerade as citizens, had led many Romulans to be extremely paranoid.
 +
 +
A common [[Romulan language|Romulan courtesy]] was the saying "''Jolan Tru''", although what exactly this means is unclear, as it is used both in context of greeting and goodbye.
 +
 +
In the 24th century, a dissident movement began to gain momentum, based on the desire to learn about Vulcan and their ideals. The movement's ultimate goal was the reunification of Romulus and Vulcan.  Ambassador Spock was deeply involved in this movement.
 +
 +
While many arguably belligerent and militaristic species, such as [[memoryalpha:Nausicaan|Nausicaan]]s, [[Breen]], and even Klingons often sell their fighting skills to the highest bidder, Romulans were rarely, if ever, seen involved in such activities. This was possibly due to the apparent superiority complex of most Romulans, many of whom would likely find such work beneath them, and would prefer to serve the Romulan Empire in some capacity. In cases of anonymity, they were known for commonly using hired [[assassin]]s, such as the [[memoryalpha:Flaxian|Flaxian]]s, to conduct their off-world "justice."

===Apocrypha===
 +
Both sources agree that the exodus was led by S'task, a former disciple of Surak. In Duane's novel ''[[The Romulan Way]]'', as the inhabitants of the planet Vulcan turn to the philosophy of Surak en masse, the followers of S'task decide that they can no longer remain on Vulcan. As part of their exodus, they intentionally invent a new culture and a new language.
 +
 +
In spite of this, Federation-Romulan relations had been improving and Romulan citizens had become less xenophobic, as indicated in the ending of {{film|10}}. After the supernova, Federation aid is either welcomed or met with suspicion and even hostility, while the Klingon Empire seizes the opportunity to conquer Romulan territory. Despite continuing in-fighting between the survivors, a new capital called Rihan is established on [[Rator III]].
 +
 +
It is explained in ''Vulcan's Soul'' that the Romulans rejected the [[telepathy]] of the Vulcans and slaughtered or enslaved the telepathic ones among them during their exodus to the Romulan system: the telepaths became the [[Reman]]s. This explains why no Romulan displays telepathic skills in canon. In ''Nero'', the titular character takes a drug that enables him to meditate, and to develop the skills to communicate telepathically, without mind melding. ''The Way of D'era'' adds that the Romulans lack the physical strength of the Vulcans because they no longer live on a harsh environment. ''Killing Time'' shows Romulans slightly adverse to the effects of ''[[pon farr]]''.-->

The Romulans (Romulan: Rihannsu) are a humanoid race from the planet Romulus in the Beta Quadrant. The Romulans are biological cousins of Vulcans, as they were descended from those who rejected Surak's reforms during the Time of Awakening. The Romulan Star Empire is the Romulan state and one of the major powers in the galaxy.
