Prelude
After the Shinzon Incident and the Hobus disaster, the Romulan Empire was in desperate need of resources to replenish what they had lost. They set their sights outwards of their borders, and saw a people with planets good for both farming and natural resources. The people were strong and plentiful, making for a good slave population in the future. The Romulans invaded, to find out that these people were not as weak as they thought.
The War Begins
The Gemini Sovereignty was attacked in 2387 by the Romulan Star Empire and was forced into their first war in over 24 milennia. Their scientists rose to the challenge, experimenting with different chemicals to kill copper-blooded animals found on their worlds. They discovered that dalcium was the one in particular that killed them swiftly and started making it into biological weapons to be used on thier farming colonies.
The Romulans, outraged by the tactics used by the Geminites, fought still harder for victory, to discover that their food supplies were quickly running out. The Geminites conquered 15 worlds previously held by the Romulans, while the Romulans destroyed many of the Geminite ships.
A favorite tactic of the Romulan Empire, decloak and fire, was soon adopted by the Geminites as they disabled but did not destroy several ships to better understand their enemies. With cloaks in hand, the Geminites fired from a cloaked posiition, constantly moving, to destroy their enemies. The tactic worked for the length of 18 Terran months, when the Romulans discovered one of the shipyards used by the Geminites to build their ships. The technology of the cloaking devices was lost, and the ground the Geminites had gained began to be lost.
The Continuing Conflict
The Romulans began to pull ahead in the conflict, but were punished severely for every inch they gained by the Geminites. The Romulan praetor finally announced a bold new strategy: They would ask the Federation for assistance in the war as the Empire had helped the Federation in the Dominion War. The Federation agreed, but with supplies, relief efforts and diplomacy only. With the relief efforts out of the way, the Romulans set their sightes on finally winning this war.
