- The Romulan Star Empire is an enigmatic and imposing presence throughout the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Since its founding, the Romulans have risen from a lowly band of Vulcan exiles to one of the superpowers of the Star Trek galaxy.
The Templin Institute investigates the nations, factions, and organizations of alternate worlds.

You know, for such an optimistic setting, Star Trek has a surprising number of atomic wars.
I think the real world reason is the cold war and the in-universe reason is that it's proof that with unity, determination, and passion, you can rebuild from anything.
In the 24th century before TNG era began they had been at war with the Tholians, Tzenkethi, Talarians and Cardassians.
Let’s hope we skip that step in our journey to the stars
It's only optimistic if you're a human or a member of the Federation. Some species live a very miserable existence. Just ask the Vidiians.
I mean, no matter how optimistic you are, War is a universal content.
Well done. You have my subscription.
Also, here are some suggestions:
* United Federation of Planets - Star Trek
* Klingon Empire - Star Trek
* Galactic Empire - Star Wars
* Galactic Republic - Star Wars
* The Dominion - Star Trek
* First Order - Star Wars
* The Terran Dominion - Starcraft
* The Breen - Star Trek
How about... developing some detection technology then?
lol
Please consider a study of the Cardassian Union.
How about something from the Honor Harrington universe?
The sad part of Picard to me at least and only my opinion, was it was a chance to really ramp up the romulans and flesh out a lot more about them. There was some groundwork with the quil... Qualat.. Space nuns and the zhat vash, but then it switched to synths and asimov and I feel cheated again. Picard I did like was seeing the actual romulan people depicted as people, the (and I will get this right) Qualat Milat? Being an ancient but oft maligned sect of romulan society that was a moderate sect, meeting of the reserved vulcan ideology and the overt and unrestrained romulans. The problems arose internally within the "exiles" and the radical groups quickly swooped to power over the traditionalists through a generation. The suppression of anything vulcan to be Independant spread like a wildfire. Until it reached a plateau. Then sects like the qualat Milat grew as counter revolotionists and so the cycle began. The progressives shared cloaking tech with the klingons on exchange for thier hardier ship designs, because the romulans built for purpose frigates for partisan skirmishes. Their war with earth was only even footed because thier fleet was a migrant one repurposed with old nuclear tech from the divergence from vulcan. Compared to an nx class oh they looked imposing, but to a newly minted constitution a hundred years later vs the d7 they looked like garbage scows. So they, like the Japanese after ww2 used thier tech and ingenuity as thier weapons. they tried to begin a dialogue. The conservatives closed that down and tried to conserve fleet strength. And so on and do on. I can imagine purely as head Canon that by allying with the Qualat Milat picard had inadvertently stumbled on an internal political shitstorm and stirred the hive.
Essentially, the romulans never actually were a powerhouse until around 2350 properly. When they learned patience and innovation pays off, but it cost them because of infighting and internal struggles. As for the remans.i dunno. They were miners
Never put your faith in Nu Trek.

how about the cardassians?
"Romulus. How well i remember it. You'll find the predominate color to be grey. The buildings, the clothes, the people. Did you know the Romulan heart is grey? Its true! And all together appropriate for such an unimaginative race." ~ Elim Garek
Nice pic
Honestly, the Romulan capital looks gorgeous. The grey buildings are so they don’t take away from the landscaping
Their Bird of Prey ships look dope though
Elim Garek shows condescension of another people he subsumes under the term "race".
Love how the Romulans entered the Dominion war based on a ‘lie’. My favorite episode of the DS9 series
The funny thing is that the Romulans are always trying to trick other people into going to war with each other. Half their plots in TNG was trying to get the Federation and Klingons to fight each other.
Technically yes, but also let's be honest...after finishing off the Feds and Klingons, the Romulans were always going to be next ...
@@Youalleatmuffins Yea, I have no idea what the Romulans thought they were going to do after The Dominion crushed the Federation and the Klingons. The best they could hope for was maybe a generation or so of peace as the Dominion occupied and consolidated their new territory, but the Romulan Star Empire would have a rapidly approaching expiration date.
7:11 I don't know Templin Institute, you think you should take another look at the subsequent investigation, something seems a bit...Oh someone is suddenly knocking at my door..Hello? Your a tailor? But I didn't call for one-
*Transmission lost*
The post-dominion war relationship between the Romulans and the Federation reminds me of the post WWII political climate.
Is this all stuff covered in TNG?
@@ReverendMeat51 Technically the TNG movie Nemesis
@@samtemdo8 and the 2009 Abrams film
There was actually a novel that dealt with the Romulans finding out about Captain Sisko's deception and the role he and Garak played in the death of their Senator Vree'nak and tricking them into the war with the Dominion. Suffice it to say.....the Romulans were not happy at all......
It’s very common throughout history for allies in war to become hated enemies afterwards. Athens and Sparta allied to stop Persian expansion and then later became rivals themselves, culminating in the Pelopennese War. Rome and Carthage allied against Pyrrhus of Epirus and almost immediately entered into armed conflict after Pyrrhus’ withdrawal from Magna Graecia. Octavian and Mark Anthony allied against Caesar’s assassins and later became enemies as well. Even the USA was deeply distrustful of Great Britain after WW1, and actively made plans for war with GB.

It would be great to have a series set after the dominion war.
dentoncrimescene Unfortunately Discovery is set in the past before TOS and everything looks rebooted.
You would be pleased to know that I've been kind of kicking one around, although of course I doubt it will ever see the light of day.
I call it Star Trek: Dawn. It carries the ST saga into the 25th century, and it works something like this:
The year is 2402. Kira has just been made President of Bajor, and faces the task of building up a fledgling state amid a very complex political situation. The Provisional Government has been made permanent, and now shares power with the church in a sort of Iran-like arrangement. The Maquis have laid down their arms and joined the political process, some holding office in the Federation government, while others have seats in the Bajoran Parliament. Kira's moderates, who want to reduce the power of the church and ultimately secularize Bajoran society, are faced with a conservative party who wants to keep the old ways, led by a very savvy but corrupt female politician with a personality very similar to Kai Winn.
The first episode begins with Jean-Luc Picard's funeral (old age), and Kira's victory speech. We find that Sisko is retired and living on Earth; Nog has his own command--the USS Cairo, being Edward Jellico's old ship; Jadzia has died and her symbiote has been been passed to a young female named Eliya. Eliya Dax is in command of Deep Space 9--and now gets to call Sisko "old man" : )
Jake lives on Bajor, and has become a famous writer and controversial political speaker (his stance is a bit Jordan Peterson-ish).
Unlike previous ST's, most of the action in Dawn takes place dirtside, on Bajor--following the story of Kira as she applies herself to the delicate of task of uniting the disparate factions of her world. So it's a lot of talking heads--essentially aimed at those who like the politics of ST more than the battle scenes. Kind of John Adams in space, if you will. (If you have not HBO's John Adams series, I urge you to check it out.)
Cast, where not already known:
Kai Malak (Kira's conservative rival): Rosamund Pike
Jake Sisko: Don Cheadle
Eliya Dax: Kirsten Prout
yep
Half of voyager is set after the dominion war
Star Trek Online did a whole lot with that.
Unfortunately, it'll never be converted into anything mainstream.
6:26 Due to the agreement, the Defiant should have always had a romulan observer on bord the ship. Its a shame that the series havent take that point serious, i would have loved to see a romulan in their crew among Worf :-)
Fabio Rüegsegger they did at first but probably stopped as they weren’t technically supposed to use the cloaking device in the alpha quadrant
mjolnir112 I think it would have been interesting to have a Romulan character who befriends the crew and decides to eventually turn a blind eye to the cloaking device.
The actor who played the Romulan fell out so she was ignored as a character. But I do agree. Having a Romulan on the Defiant as a main or regular secondary character would have been awesome. :)
Google Martha heckett. She portrayed races. Subcommander T'Rul was planned to be the first Rumulan office serving in Star Fleet on the Defiant with Worf. The studio nix the idea sadly.
I've always loved the Romulans. Like Vulcans in appearance, but without the deadpan stoicism. (Cloaking is cool too...)
@cristopher wong that's a strawman. Admiring the cunning and villainy of a fictional faction doesn't mean he'd like them in real life.
A very intriguing race.Unfortunatly the FEDERATION is allways stealing their tech,claiming sectors and brain washing their citizens with endless propaganda to create distrust and hate.And despite what some sources say,The Super NOVA was a federation autrocity to end the ROMANULAN threat !!
@@jamesburnsfisher3304 I think you are confused
@@jonathansoko1085 You can tell he's an actual nutcase by the irregular spacing
@@ReverendMeat51 yea he's a commie for sure
Romulans the Bipolar cousin of the Vulcans. Christ.
Those stoic Romans with their Bread and circuses. Quite the mix
I pretty sure this is what Vulcans used to be like before worshiping logic.
@@Vasileski88 Strangely enough, both modern Vulcans and Romulans are a distancing of the original vulcan species. Both are disciplined in different fashions, sculpting their societies around their coping mechanisms against their baser natures. Vulcans have their logic philosophy, Romulans have this strange, cautious cunning which has them reign their emotions until they can act at the best time on them with careful planning, but they aren't nearly as bad as how vulcans were, whom were nearly psychopathic with how extreme their passions and emotions effected them.
If you're doing empires, maybe you can do Asimov's Foundation empire, and the preceding Galactic one some day.
Either way, this sounds like a really cool project, maybe something that could prove educational as well.
The foundation is basically the catholic church, preserving roman knowledge throughout the "dark age". A neat story
That is, until JJ Abrams came up with the dumb idea of destroying Romulus.
bombarde1701a I choose to believe that the AbramsVerse either isn't cannon, or that Ambassador Spock actually succeeded in saving Romulus, and that Nero was just a confused, misinformed snowflake. I refuse to accept the destruction of Romulus.
Same here. By the logic of Star Trek 2009, the events of that movie would have erased the whole timeline up to that point, which we know from producers isn't the case. They insist that it's an "alternate timeline." So I'd say that for any of the events of the original timeline to have happened at all, it *couldn't* be the same universe as the one in which Romulus was destroyed.
Percy Danvers unfortunately Id have to disagree. The Trek Encyclopedia says Romulus was destroyed. So the mind meld/flashback scenes of the Prime Timeline are canon.
I hate that whole idea - especially as it was destroyed by another star going nova. How does a supernova travel light years?
Daniel O'Donovan i agree. A supernova wouldve taken decades to reach Romulus. At the very least weeks. They could’ve evacuated the entire planet in that time.
Long live the Romulan Empire romolus invicta.
I would be interested on what you have to say about the Imperium from the Dune series.
I dont know what Dune is, so all I know is the spice must flow and heretics must be purged
@@just_some_dude019 Dunno what spice is but heretics must definitely be purged. The Emperor protects brother
Nice video. Romulans are my favorite sci-fi race. I absolutely love their premise, but feel as Trek went on they were mishandled more and more.
The became more and more vigorous mustache twirlers as the series' went on.
I strongly recommend reading Rihannsu: the Bloodwing Voyages by Diane Duane. They are a terrific series of books set in the TOS era that make the Romulans a wonderfully intriguing culture, and they are very different to the TNG+ Romulans.
ggsimmonds1 .. are the romulan related to the Vulcan
ggsimmonds1 they're cool but I'm more of a Terran empire man
They have enormous potential. I would love a TV show focusing solely on them.
Cardassia or The Dominion next please.
The loss of Romulus will not be the end of the Romulan people we will persevere we will survive We Will RISE! All hail the Romulan Republic.
Something wonderful happened when the Virinat Survivor and Tovan Khev and their crewmates explore Dewa III prepatory to it officially being settled as Mol'Rihan or New Romulus.....they find what turns out to be the Sword of the Raptor Star....one of S'Hariens lost blades!
FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!!
DEATH TO THE EMPIRE AND TAL SHIAR SCUM!!!!!
Meh "Romulan Republic" just hasn't the same ring to it. Sounds weak.
This was just recommended to me by TH-cam, and I'm really glad I clicked and watched your `Romulan Star Empire´. Good segment, intelligent, calm clear voice, nice range of illustrative material (could do with more charts or maps, but maybe that's just a personal quirk of mine). Looked up your channel home page, found out I already watched one of your vids, Incoming on Star Trek Discovery. Then I found out I also know your channel's name from your collaboration with Star Wars explained. Enough of that, I just subscribed, and am looking forward to more.
"It's a fake!!!" Love that moment in DS9.
Well informed and well put together video, keep up the good work.
Fantastic video really well told! Videos about the Dominion, Dominion War, Cardassian Empire and Obsidian order would be amazing!
Thank you for taking the official/public line about why the Romulans joined the war against the Dominion, and for stopping the video before any JJ-timeline garbage!
It would have been nice to have them as "fully developed" as the Klingons.
I disagree. A xenophobic and secretive species like them shouldn't have much development
It's a shame the writers of 'Picard' never saw this video. They don't seem to understand what the "star" in "Romulan Star Empire" means.
the Romulan Stellar Empire may be vast, but as a unitary state its central power is in Romulus and with the destruction of Romulus and the post-war political fragmentation led to insurgent movements throughout the empire and the collapse of the neutral zone with the refugee crisis.
@@imperatortiago I don't buy that. The Romulans were able to control their vast Star empire for centuries and had months (or years) to plan for the disaster. Even the Klingon takeover of the Romulan Empire in the alternate future of "All Good Things..." made more sense in context than this poorly thought-out nonsense.
Great Vid! I'd love to see something on species from Doctor Who. Time Lords, Daleks, Cybermen etc. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for what you do, great stuff!

Thats Ramulan not the crap i see today in Star Trek Picard, good god what have they done to this franchise
I like how you skipped over all Romulan-related lore that has come after 2005. Having the wisdom to recognize where canon ends and non-canon trash begins.
7:07 ...IT'S A FAKE!
Do the Terran Federation from Blake's 7, also Supreme Commander Servalan and Space Commander Travis from the same series.
Sup swiss, Maarten here. Gonna leave this comment to request the Empire of Man (warhammer) and the Empire (Elder Scrolls). As a reminder.
Maarten Blom The Empire in Elder Scrolls is boring and there’s not enough lore to really delve extensively into them. Hell a Stormcloak video would be more interesting
Is doing a Romulan Republic video a possible thing?
I love your videos, however I am definitely wondering why you did not include the reman rebellion under Shinzon? Even though this movie gets a lot of flack, I think it is just as good as any of the other next generation movies accepted as canon.
This was great! Could you make videos about the empire (warhammer fantasy) or the tamriel empire?
You forgot the Romulan goverment reformed after Senzian to be more friendly UFP, and the distruction of the Romulan homeworld means a goverment may no longer exsist.
Dang, holy coitus interruptus Batman, you left out the destruction of the Romulan homeworld by their star going SUPERNOVA! That crushed the Romulans as we saw in the Picard series. Ultimately leading to their reunion with Vulcans and then Vulcan becoming Ni'Var (Discovery). They seemed to have ultimately joined the Federation (Discovery) in 3190 after solving The Burn. Would have loved the announcer here going through that part of the Romulans' history!
Good stuff, great attention to detail while retaining the big picture view. I'd love to see some in-depth lore on the Homeworld universe. Lots of Kiith to cover :)
Anyone else getting a serious soviet vibe from the romulans
They where arguably the better Soviet type villain then the Klingon Empire.
Warhammer 40k's Imperium of Man maybe, or not whatever.
My favorite Star Trek species.
Beta Quadrant, yet they were able to encounter Earthers in the 2150s and return in 2266 without warp drive. Archer was able to stumble into their mine field with the very limited range of a warp 5 ship....
Much Retconning happened with Romulans during and following TOS. They are a mess of contridictions.
Original character study Summer 1966. They were on the other side of Vulcan, close by, but in prohibited space behind a DMZ. Much like North Korea and China in 1966 were just on the other side of Japan which had been conquered by the Allies in 1945 and now did not have a major Imperial Navy anymore, but are now key to Allied (NATO) interests. The Romulans had imposed self isolation for the last century, just as NK and China had for a decade in the real world of 1966. The Romulans looked just like the Vulcans...who were supposed to be our good friends NOW...but why the two way racism and some unspoken BIG past beef between Earthers and Vulcan.
In the original words of Bones to Spock in season one: "Is that why your people were conquered?". Later to be contradicted in TOS as the Vulcans became more of a pacifist Great Britain (whatever fantasy that is) with POSH Vulcan oration and more universe experience.
I am familiar with Star Trek since the early 90s, and I know basics about the main factions and races, but this is the most detail I have ever learned with regard to a particular faction within the franchise.
You should go and check out Orange River's YT channel. He's primarily Star Trek/sci-fi focused. Makes fantastic, well-researched video essays. Released his 'Romulans' vid about three weeks ago.
@@subraxas
Will do, thanks...
Entertaining video, I've been a Star Trek fan since I was 4 years old. I started watching the original series and the animated series in '74 or '75. I've loved every Trek show until Discovery. Thanks again for the great analysis of the Romulan Star Empire! 🖖
Discovery is no worse than voyager
@@johnfinley8158 Discovery's ratings dropped off every single episode that came out. Voyager's ratings went up and down, but generally kept climbing and spiked in S4. Voyager's the better show. Also it got three more seasons because it was prequel dogshit.
That's not Voyager, that's the U.S.S. Bellerophon from DS9.
The disconnect between the Romulans in this video and those portrayed on STP is staggering.
Because in TOS, TNG and DS9 we saw only soldiers, politicians and agents. In addition, Narek, Narissa and commodore Oh seem to you not enough romulan?
Mass Ryb tbh, Narissa, Narek and Oh are Tal Shiar agents.. also, does this guy forgot that the Romulans have no strong Government by this point?
And now the Romulans are cleaning Picards toilets.
Really good explanation of the Romulans!
Well done! Long live the empire!
Wouldn’t mind seeing a video on the United federation of planets and star fleet
Great video. Here is my suggestions...
1) The Strogg (Quake).
2) The Imperium of Man (Warhammer 40,000).
3) The Kelvin Timeline (Star Trek, and please include all events in the comics).
4) The Cybermen (Doctor Who).
5) The war against Mental (Serious Sam).
6) Cybertronians (Transformers).
I'd like to hear more about the Hydran Kingdom.
This was a grand feast for a hungry Star Trek fan/nerd! From the inception of the Romulan species, they were forever underutilized for the more aggressive Klingons.
Btw, if at all possible, can you branch out into He-Man and The Masters of the Universe and/or She-ra: Princess of Power lore? I'd love to see what you're able to accomplish with the likes of:
The Evil Horde
The Kingdom of Eternia or various Etherian kingdoms
The History of Eternia/Etheria

Do a presentation on the Terran Empire from Star Trek.
The Romulan Store Empire. Err wait that's Walmart.
Can you do a video on the Terran Empire from the Mirror Universe?
A curious thing. Romulans don't have Vulcan superstrength or psychic powers. What if Vulcan had it's own Eugenics wars and the augments there won, driving the remaining people to leave for Romulus?
Could you do the 23rd and 24 century Federation, Starfleet and Section 13 please. Love your show
Jeff Small section 31
Nice jacket that grey one.
Brotherhood of steel from the Fallout series.
I always thought the Romulans traded cloaking technology to the Klingons for warp technology. Learned something new.
Are you doing the United Federation of Planets next?
i miss star trek , the real star trek - like Star Trek , TNG , DS9 etc
so much potential there
Technically the supernova in Star Trek (2009) is canon in the prime universe.
Are some of those screenshots from the SOSR Mod Star Trek Armada III? Aka the best star trek game never officially made?
Left out the part about the Hobus Supernova and how that pretty much killed the Romulan Empire.
Terran Dominon from Starcraft
The tier list video made them look kinda weird, and they really are
The problem with romulans is they depend to much on cloaking technology, when it comes to a face to face battle where neither side can get in a sucker punch they simply don't know what to do.
These are only half-joking suggestions, in that I'd love to see them but I'm not kidding myself about my chances. ;) Anyway, here goes.
The 3rd St. Saints (Saints Row franchise)
The Humanx Commonwealth (from the series of novels of the same (fan given) name by Alan Dean Foster)
The Terran Federation (Blake's 7)
The Martians (War of the Worlds TV series. yes there was a TV series. The main character was the son of the male lead in the 1950s American movie version, a.k.a. the best movies version (Sorry Spielberg). Only lasted 2 seasons. Probably because season 2 SUUUUUUUUUUUCKED)
I keep hearing Kardashians xD
Romulans remind me of what the Roman Empire would be if they survived long enough to become spacefaring - semi-stoic, spartan, militaristic, fascistic, and politically/strategically cunning.

4:10 That's a War Bird, not a Bird of Prey. Before some smart ass tries to say "but it's shaped like a War Eagle, or a King Eagle" That ship in that episode was impulse only, so it could only be a War Bird. If it could go warp, then it would have been a War Eagle, or possibly King Eagle (not likely, it only fired one Plasma at a time, so would have most likely been a War Eagle). The Bird Of Prey is a Klingon light Cruiser. Several of them were sold to the Romulans for conversion to use Plasma instead of Disrupters, but it's still a Klingon hull.

Except Section 31 have been Using Faze Clocking Device,
Phasic cloak? No way to disprove it's use. Can't be detected. Why WOULDN'T section 31 use it?
Technically they are not members of Starfleet and therefore not subject to the treaty. Plasable deniability is the entire point of Sec31.
How about next, the Skeksis Empire?
Do you have anything explaining and illustrating the Romulan avian symbol, especially the head?
Why didn't you guys mention the destruction of Romulus from Star Trek 09. The planet was destroyed by a star going nova?
No mention of the destruction of the senate in ST: Nemesis? I know it's not a great film but it did happen. Not to mention the destruction of the entire planet in Star Trek (2009) that happened in the Prime timeline?
The Romulans are a functional version of the Sith.

Denny War Lost 87 anno ago to Romulans LOLOLOL
You forgot about shenzon rise to power and the fall of romulus and remus
What races are under this empire? 🥴
I know it's a scyfy serie, but I never understood the meaning of a neutral zone in an infinite universe. It sounds very absurd...
Romulus and Remus ? Really ? Where they rasied by wolves also ?
The Romulans were a paper tiger empire. They were highly advanced, but lacked industrial capacity. Perhaps due to lack of resources, internal stability or their dependence on slave labour. Evidence is their reliance on force multipliers like cloaking technology and subterfuge. Before the Dominion War they lost a fleet of 20Warbirds attacking the Founders homeworld and this seems to have been a far bigger blow to the Romulans than it would have been to any other major power. Their subsequent non-aggression pact bought them time to rebuild but even with two years peace they don’t appear to emerge any stronger than their rivals. Despite the fact both Federation and Klingons were losing ships daily. The Romulans appeared strong but simply lacked the industrial might to absorb heavy losses.
good video... the Federation and the Romulans would remain rivals.... that is, until Hobus.. after the fall of the Romulans... the Federation would be alone.
