Editing Romulan Republic (section)

==Player Characters==
Like Federation and Klingon characters, Romulan players must choose a [[career path]] (analogous to a 'class' from other [[MMORPG]]s) and a [[Player race|species]]. Neither can be subsequently altered. Later, when the player reaches a higher rank, a new starship must also be selected, which can, however, be changed at any time.

:''"Both Starfleet and the Klingon Defense Force have agreed to take Romulans into their forces. I'd like you to be the first. You will be our eyes, ears and hands in their fleets. More importantly, you will be our voice. Where you serve is your choice. But wherever you go, always remember that you are Romulan."''
::: ― [[D'Tan]] to [[player]], following the [[Khitomer]] conference

At the end of {{mission|Turning Point}}, i.e. when reaching level 10, players of the Romulan Republic also have to choose to either [[Federation-aligned|align with the Federation]] or [[Klingon-aligned|the Klingon Empire]]. Romulan characters will retain their [[UI]], specific storyline as well as their exclusive access to [[Warbird]]s, costumes, and certain Republic [[hub]]s. However, they cannot build their own [[fleet starbase]]s and will instead be able to join [[fleet]]s and teams, as well as visit social hubs of their chosen ally. Republic players therefore have access to more hubs than any [[Starfleet]] or [[Klingon Defense Force]] player.


Romulan Republic players are also called "RRF" in-game, although its meaning is never shown (possibly '''R'''omulan '''R'''epublic '''F'''leet?).

===Races===
Romulan Republic characters have a range of [[Player race|races]] to choose from, each of which offers unique traits and abilities. A player's choice of race is important and cannot be changed, so it is advisable to choose carefully.

===Starships===

:''[[Romulan playable starship|See main article: Romulan playable starships]]''
The [[Romulan Star Empire]] has long been one of the dominant powers in the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. Boasting unparalleled cloaking technology, powerful Plasma and Disruptor weaponry, and the resourcefulness to quickly develop countermeasures for the tactics of other factions, [[Romulan]]s were a key force in many conflicts since the 2150s.

[[Warbird]]s – the most iconic of Romulan vessels – have formed the backbone of the Romulan military for centuries. With the destruction of [[Romulus]], these Warbirds have become a lasting symbol of the once mighty empire’s strength – as well as a new home for some of the many refugees in the wake of their planet’s destruction.
* Romulans are masters of Cloaking technology, and all Warbirds are equipped with a [[Ability: Battle Cloak|cloaking device]]. In addition, the Romulan racial trait – [[Trait: Subterfuge/boff|Subterfuge]] – enhances the performance of cloaking devices and increases the damage that their ships deal after lowering their Cloak.

* Romulan ships tend to be large and heavy, making them somewhat slower and less maneuverable than comparable [[Federation]] and [[Klingon Defense Force]] ships. The iconic [[D'deridex Warbird Battle Cruiser|''D’deridex''-class]], for example, is larger and more resilient than the [[Starfleet]]'s [[Exploration Cruiser]] – but considerably slower as a result.
* Unlike Federation and Klingon Defense Force vessels, Romulan Warbirds are powered by a unique [[Singularity Warp Core]]. The Singularity Warp Core can build power as the Romulan ship engages in combat, and then utilize this power to produce one of several devastating effects on the battlefield.
* As an added consequence of their unique Warp Core, Warbirds create a deadly Singularity implosion when they are destroyed.

Although Warbirds form the backbone of the Romulan military, there are other ships, exclusive to Romulan Republic, which behave more like their Federation and Klingon Defense Force counterparts. These starships, such as [[Suliban Silik Flight-Deck Assault Cruiser|Suliban Flight-Deck Assault Cruiser]] or [[Dewan Pilot Escorts]], are powered by a classic [[Matter Anti-Matter Warp Core]]. 

Characters of the Romulan Republic may also fly almost any ship of their respective ally - the [[Federation]] or the [[Klingon Empire]]. Ally ships which remain unusable by the Romulan Republic characters are:
