The Romulan Republican Force (Rihan: Ihsein ih'Rheilhhu Rihan), abbreviated RRF and also known as the Romulan Republic Militia, was the military organization of the Romulan Republic. It was originally headquartered at a flotilla in the Azure Sector, before a permanent base of operations was established on Dewa III, the new Romulan homeworld. The RRF encompassed the Romulan Republican Army and Navy.
History[]
The RRF was established around early 2409. By February, the organization maintained an ever increasing fleet of starships, comprised of former Romulan Star Navy vessels or starships appropriated from the Tal Shiar. 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 starship helped witnessed the Tal Shiar and Elachi invasion of the planet. The Virinat survivors, as well as many other independent colonists, were invited to join the growing movement to fight back against the Tal Shiar. The movement would evolve into the Romulan Republic.[1]
Proconsul of the Romulan Republic, D'Tan, tasked the RRF with finding a suitable world to colonize so the peoples of the Republic could have a place to call home. After numerous surveys, the unclaimed, lush planet Dewa III was chosen. The Republic renamed the planet New Romulus and it served as the joint homeworld of the combined Romulan and Reman people.[2]
Leadership of the Republican Force flotilla rested in the hands of Commander Nniol Temer until his death at the international conference on Khitomer when he saved Klingon Councilor Wodan's life. Subcommander T'Rehu Nadel then took command of the flotilla. The United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire subsequently became allies of the Romulan Republic.[3]
The Republic rose to become a major power in local space, and the military expanded quickly. Shipyards were established at New Romulus, and new starship classes unique to the Republic were introduced. Admiral Klau Kererek 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 leadership of Dyson Joint Command under Commander Hexce Kaol.[4]
Organization[]
Leadership[]
- D'Tan, Proconsul of the Romulan Republic
- Riov Nniol Temer, commanding officer of the RRW Deihu and the Romulan flotilla
- Erei'Riov T'Rehu Nadel, executive officer then commanding officer of the RRW Deihu, also a leading officer of Romulan Republic Intelligence.
- Khre'Enriov Klau Kererek, senior officer at New Romulus Command.
- Riov Hexce Kaol, commanding officer of Dyson Joint Command
- Riov Tiaru Jarok, commanding officer of the flagship RRW Lleiset
- Obisek, commanding officer of Vauthil Station, former leader of the Reman Resistance
The bulk of the military equipment was re-purposed material from the Romulan Star Empire.[5] However, the Republic soon began to build starships 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.[6]
The Republic military had its own uniform with ranks reminiscent of the Romulan Guard. Both Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force offered ships, officers, and materiel to aid in the defense of the new republic.[7]
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.[8]
The first flagship was the Ha'apax-class RRW Deihu. Once construction was completed, the Tulwar-class RRW Lleiset became the navy's flagship.
