Romulans Home | Wallpaper Collection | Movie Archive | Quotes | Comlinks | Webrings | Info | News Romulans are an offshoot race from Vulcans. They left the Vulcan homeworld before the revolution in thinking urged on by Surak had overthrown the old militaristic ways. They are intelligent, cunning, and very commonly ruthless. They also frequently revert to subterfuge in order to complete goals. Physically, Romulans and Vulcans are very similar. Both have pointed ears, giving the Romulans a hearing bonus, and, like Vulcans, have an inner eyelid that will allow for near- instantaneous adjustments to varying light levels. Romulans are not quite as strong as Vulcans, because the world they chose to colonize, named Romulus by the Federation, has a slightly lower gravity than Vulcan. They also have an extended lifespan. The gravity of Romulus is 1.1 g (T). Romulan society is ruled by a near-totalitarian military government, and duty to the Romulan Star Empire is required to be placed above personal safety in all circumstances. All citizens are expected to give their lives for their government without question. They are xenophobic to other races. "Never turn your back on a breen." |
