I'm sure we can figure a translation out

Glad to see this one back up there.

This is a little idea that I have been rolling around for a bit. I've included it in the Romulan game that I am currently running.

Shrike Stealth Suit

Armour: +2 Physical, +1 energy

Stealth Capabilities:

-Advanced materials used in the manufacture of the suit allow the wearer a +3 skill mod to stealth skill.

-Suit is also difficult to pick up on ground based sensor systems, adding 5 to the difficulty of a sensor roll (ie. making a routine sensor check to a difficult one.

Description:

Still working on this. Will post description and history once I have it fully developed.

[Dan Gurden]

Have you read Imzadi II? I am sure thats already in existance in the Peter David universe...

As for a description, I cannot remember in the book describes it... But I see it as a backpack/torso carapace mounting a small cloaking device and projector web... Alternatively, many hours of Manga and Cyberpunk have instilled a bodysuit with a web of sensors and holographic projectors, combined with a sensor interference/decoy device... Which give the wearer a chameleon ability and some sensor protection.

The Sneak suit that I have "designed" was a stop gap, in my game they haven't perfected the personal cloak yet, power problems. They will before the game ends though.

I have even been thinking about incorporating a Jem'Hader Shroud into the design...Not perfected yet either.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the books you mentioned.

Bump to top for Adm. Wolf.

[SIR SIG]

Ah, finally a legitimate 'bump to top'

[Admiral Wolf]

Thanks Phantom

I'd forgotton about this thread.

Hey... I do still know how to use a computer


Okies, only JUST got back to the boards and this is the first thing I checked on so if I'm asking a stupid previously asked question feel free to shoot me (but only with a disruptor!):

The last thing I read about DecTrek was that quite a few more races were in the main book on the rommies were one of them. Any idea how they're being represented in the new game, rules wise? I'm just curious about how much space is dedicated to them, background information, history, whether or not the new background will contradict LUG (which I very seriously doubt), etc. I imagine any answers I get will be conjecture but hey, that's what I'm here for

Since I am here answering a question, BUMP.

[Phantom]

Just testing to see if there are any problems.

[Janus]

Hi!

There is a new Romulan fan around here

[Phantom]

Excellent! I like the proverb in your signature.

[Lord Kjeran]

Chello!

Somewhere way down in page one (), someone said not to post about the Kli-Rom Cold War thing. what about Star fleet Battles?

While not canon, their explanation for the "disappearance", is that there was a Romulan Civil War about the time of the Movie Era. In brief, a group of military officers overthrew the Emperor and Praetor and founded the Romulan Republic. Rolandus, a nephew of the Emperor and admiral in charge of the Fed Border Fleet, declared himself Emperor.

The Civil War lasted 2 years with Rolandus eventually being killed at a truce. The Senate, horrified, dissolved the Republic and formed a Constitutional Monarchy with Rolandus' daughter as Empress.

Now, I don't have Way of Dera (yet!), but would it be too difficult to integrate this idea into LUG Trek?

[Phantom]

I don't think anyone said "don't post" about the Starfleet Battles Universe. If it was worded as such, then apologies. I opened this thread for all Romulan fans. I probably have said that I don't pay attention to that time line. That is just me, Im not much of a fan of SFB, and I prefer Praetor to Empress...I view the Romulan government as a Military Oligarchy...If you read The Way of D'era the Romulan Empire is almost a Republic. When the Praetor passes on (died or relinquishes power) the Senate votes on who is to replace him. Now, not a Republic in the sense of 1 vote, 1 person, but the person running for the office does need the support of the Senate which can lead to the support of the people.

Now, having said that. Yes, it could fit in very easily, if that is how you want the Romulans to be run in your game. The political situation in the Romulan Empire is broken up into various factions (you have factions in the Senate, in the Military, and in the Intelligence community...to name a few.) A civil war could easily have been the result. And indeed could be an interesting scenario to play out. If that is how you proceed, please get back to us with what happend.
