Imperial Guard Historical Timeline

370 AD - Surak taught the Vulcan people to reject emotion in favour of embracing pure logic. Known as "those who march beneath the Raptor's wings", they did not accept Surak's teachings and split off from the Vulcans.

470 AD - The splinter group left Vulcan and named their race the Romulans. Eventually settled on the twin planets later named Romulus and Remus. Warp Drive allowed the Romulans to establish The Romulan Star Empire.

2154 - A failed Romulan attempt at Re-unification with Vulcan under Romulan rule occured. A temporary alliance of Human, Vulcan, Andorian and Tellarite formed to combat a Romulan ship wrecking havoc on trade routes to attempt to incite war between the races. Ultimately this plan's failure would lead to the Coalition of Planets being formed.

2156 - The Earth-Romulan War, also known as the Romulan War, Romulan Wars, Earth-Romulus War, was a major interstellar conflict fought during the mid-22nd century between forces led by United Earth and those of the Romulan Star Empire.

Eventually settled on the colony world of Virinat before going on to join D'tan's movement against the Tal Shiar.

2381 - Son to Hatham and Jhu, S'Tev is born. Settled on a colony that was later attacked and destroyed during a Tal Shiar operation.

I have to say I do like this. my favorite part:2363 - Joran is born. Went on to become an agent of the Tal Shiar and was involved in an incident regarding the Omega Particle. But don't forget I defected to Maiek's Imperial Guard.

Thank you for moving this thread out of the archive and putting it where it belongs. Hopefully, in the future, more care will be taken when archiving material

Romulans were going very strong until they were denied full-faction status... so yes, it is good to see the Romulan spirit alive still.
