Romulan Republican Force

The Romulan Republican Force (abbreviated RRF), was the military organization of the Romulan Republic. It was originally headquartered at a fleet of ships in the Azure Sector, before a permanent base of operations was established on Dewa III, the new Romulan homeworld.

History
The RRF was established sometime in early 2409, or before. By February 2409, the RRF maintained an ever increasing fleet of starships appropriated from the Tal Shiar, or former Romulan Star Navy vessels. These vessels operated throughout official Romulan Star Empire space and sought out independent Romulan colonies in the Tau Dewa sector block. One such world was Virinat, where an RRF ship helped spoil a joint Tal Shiar/Elachi invasion of Virinat. The Virinat survivors were invited to join the Republic's efforts to fight back against the Tal Shiar.

To gain legal recognition from neighboring powers, the Proconsul of the Romulan Republic, D'Tan, tasked the RRF with finding a suitable world to colonize. The RRF picked the unclaimed, lush planet Dewa III. The Republic named Dewa III its capital, and designated as New Romulus, joint homeworld of the combined Romulan and Reman people.

Leadership of the RRF passed from Commander Temer to Subcommander Nadel when Temer sacrificed himself at the international conference on Khitomer to save Klingon Councilor Wodan's life. The United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire subsequently became allies of the Romulan Republic. Because of the state of war between the UFP and the Empire, and limited resources available to the Republic, RRF officers had to pledge allegiance to either Starfleet or the Klingon Defense Force, gaining access to the respective forces' equipment, personnel and installations.

The Republic rose to become a major power in local space, and the RRF expanded quickly. Shipyards were established on New Romulus, and new starship classes unique to the Republic were introduced. AdmiralKererek assumed command of the RRF, and a flagship, the RRW Lleiset, was commissioned. The Republic's influence expanded further when it gained access to the Solanae Dyson Sphere in the Delta Quadrant, and the RRF assumed command of Allied Joint Command. The commanding officer of the SDS became Romulan Commander Kaol.

Leadership
The bulk of the military equipment was re-purposed material from the Romulan Star Empire. However, the Republic soon began to build ships of their own. The first new starship class developed by the Romulan Republican Force in the New Romulus Shipyards was the Ar'Kif-class tactical warbird.

 * Commander Temer, from the Romulan Flotilla

 * Commander Tiaru Jarok, commanding officer of the flagship RRW Lleiset
 * Obisek, commanding officer of Vauthil Station, former leader of the Reman Resistance

The Republic military had its own uniform with ranks reminiscent of the Star Navy. Both Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force offered ships, officers, and material to aid in the defense of the new republic.

For its ships, the the Republican Navy (RRN) used the standard prefix RRW (Romulan Republic Warbird). The prefixes USS and IKS were retained on ships received from the Republic's allies.

In the later part of 2409, the leader of the military was Admiral Kererek. The military headquarters were on New Romulus. The first flagship was the Ha'apax-class RRW Deihu. Once construction was complete, the Tulwar-class RRW Lleiset became the navy's flagship.
