The Romulans

[Phantom]

Just keeping front 'n center. In other words BUMP.

[Phantom]

As above.

So of those 1577 posts how many were to 'bump to top' this thread ??????????

Hmm we were thinking of a map weren't we....

[Phantom]

Probably a few. But hey what can I say, I have to keep track when it falls off the radar.

[B]I'm thinking that it may be a non-golic dialect. Aedh Rua, just to test this possibilty can you find a translation for "Alitok". It is a senate level sec. clearence.

Someone might have mentioned this already, but just in case, I'll stick this out there...

From the Romulan Way series, there's a 'Rihannsu' spelling and meaning for this phrase as well..

"Jolan'tru (Jhollan'trruh) - generic semiformal greeting and farewell.

I know it's not a literal meaning, but it's another perspective..

Picked up "All Our Yesterdays" today, looks interesting. What are peoples ideas of the Vhorai-class "Timebird" and other Timeships? It seems, according to the book, the Romulans have more knowledge of the "strategic" uses of time travel, as long as as it does not damage the Empire...brings some interesting questions to mind.

In the Praetors Name!

Great book The rest of this makes me curious...have you picked up and read "Killing Time"? That one dealt with Romulan's playing with the timeline.

[Phantom]

Front and Center.

[Phantom]

Whoa caught this one on time.

[SIR SIG]

So what distances a you hoping for in Rommie space, especially Earth-RNZ-Romulus?

Because I'm starting to work on a 'Birth of the Federation' map

Wow, is this a long thread. Now that I've bought The way of D'era, I'll start taking interest in our friends the Rommies.

First, some questions :
1) This has been covered above on this thread, but just to be sure : the Taurhai Unity is only a LUG creation, or has it been mentioned somewhere in the series (my knowledge of the ST series is somewhat incomplete)
2) Did someone try to come up with an explanation of the similarities between Earth's Romans and the Romulans, or is it another of these parallel evolutions TOS was so fond of ?

Then a remark : on the topic of psionic Romulans, I don't see either why there should be none. LUG sources state that the Vulcan could developp their psionic activities thanks to their unemotional mind, yet The Way of Kolinar relates some mind wars occuring before the Time of Awakening (and this is canon, as seen in TNG's The Stone of Gol). If there is a reason for the Romulans not being psionic, I don't think it should be linked with their emotional nature.
Note that this would make some interesting plots ...

Well, that's it for now, I'll probably be back later with other dumb questions and useless remarks .
I agree the Romulans were underfeatured in ST, while they are the perfect threat race for any TNG stories happening before the Dominion War.

OK, easy answers.

1) The Taurhai Unity are purly an LUG creation, having never appeared in an episode on TV.

2) No, it was never explained, but aside from the home planets of Romulus and Remus (which allegedly will get some serious re-working in the next movie...), and the rank of Centurion theres not a lot else...

I imagine it was simply a Paralel development that TOS was so fond of...

And Psionic Romulans. Other than my Psion Template, there is a section in the Way of D'era covering this issue. And its simply a matter that the Romulans do not utilise their potential, thus Psionics are rare, but not unheard of... Its under the section about the Tal Shiar (surprise, surprise).

[C5]

Hey, thanks for the quick answer, Dan!

As for the psionic Romulans... I'm starting to think something... how about some occult section of the Tal Shiar, like the Section 31 in StarFleet Intelligence, composed only of Psionics Romulans... could be some interesting ideas here...

[Dan Gurden]

Way ahead of you;

Uh... err...thanks

Must have forgotten to follow the thread for longer than I thought...

[Phantom]

Anyone know how to say "BUMP" in Romulan.
