The '''Romulan centurion''' served aboard the [[Romulan Bird-of-Prey (23rd century)|Praetor's flagship]] that attacked several [[Earth Outpost Station|Federation outposts]] along the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]] in [[2266]]. He was a close friend of his commander (''see entry below''), and served with him in many campaigns. He believed in the right of the Romulan Empire to expand by use of any means necessary, including war. He was of the old ways, where you did not question the Praetor, but gave obedience. These beliefs were not entirely held by his commander. He was killed [[Neutral Zone Incursion|in battle]] with the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}; he had pushed his commander to safety and was mortally injured by some falling debris in the [[bridge|control room]]. After he succumbed shortly thereafter, his body, and some of the ship's debris, was later jettisoned in an attempt to deceive the ''Enterprise'' into believing the ship was destroyed.

==== Background information ====
  
−
This "Romulan commander" was played by actor [[Mark Lenard]].
  
−  
−
This character is often credited with being the first Romulan seen on ''[[Star Trek]]'', even though technically [[Decius]] was seen first, albeit with a helmet covering up his ears. Lenard's character was the first Romulan fully seen with Vulcan-type ears.

Lenard's performance as the Romulan commander impressed the producers, and he was therefore added to a short-list of possible replacements for [[Leonard Nimoy]] to play [[Spock]]. The popularity of the Romulan commander also led to Lenard being recast later in the series, as Spock's father, [[Sarek]]. A running joke among the ''Star Trek'' production staff was that the main reason why Spock looked so surprised, when first seeing the Romulan Commander in "Balance of Terror", was because Spock's father was commanding the Romulan ship. {{incite|all three sentences need to be cited}}

In [[William Shatner]]'s [[novels|novel]] ''[[The Return]]'', the commander's House, one of the oldest and most esteemed on Romulus, fell into disgrace after this failure, and his granddaughter {{mb|Salatrel}} was responsible for resurrecting Kirk, which she did with the intention of killing him and restoring the family's standing.

In the ''[[Star Trek: Myriad Universes|Myriad Universes]]'' short novel ''A Less Perfect Union'' (set in an [[alternate timeline]] in which, firstly, an attack on [[Starfleet]], perpetrated by [[Terra Prime]] in the episode {{e|Terra Prime}}, succeeded, Earth then went into isolation, and the Federation was never formed), the commander impersonated Sarek in order to disrupt a [[2264]] diplomatic conference. As he looked so much like Sarek, no disguise was necessary to pull it off, and he openly wondered if the two shared common ancestry from before the Vulcan-Romulan split.

Revision as of 21:19, 5 June 2020

The following is a list of unnamed Romulan military personnel who lived during the 23rd century.

2266

Centurion

Romulan Centurion

The centurion (2266)

The centurion served aboard the Praetor's flagship that attacked several Federation outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2266. He was a close friend of his commander, and served with him in many campaigns. He believed in the right of the Romulan Empire to expand by use of any means necessary, including war. He was of the old ways, where you did not question the Praetor, but gave obedience. These beliefs were not entirely held by his commander. He was killed in battle with the USS Enterprise; he had pushed his commander to safety and was mortally injured by some falling debris in the bridge. After he succumbed shortly thereafter, his body, and some of the ship's debris, was later jettisoned in an attempt to deceive the Enterprise into believing the ship was destroyed. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")

The centurion was played by actor John Warburton.
In the revised final draft script of "Balance of Terror", he was described thus; "The Centurion is a stocky man who walks with a painful-looking limp – but his much-scarred face is always quiet, no hint of complaint. He wears a helmet."
The First Edition of the Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name only as "The Centurion". The Second Edition of the Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as T'Auethn (β).

Commander 1

Romulan commander, 2266

Romulan Commander (2266)

Around stardate 1709, a Romulan commander piloted a Romulan Bird-of-Prey on a mission testing a cloaking device, and a new plasma weapon that destroyed Federation outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone. A veteran of countless military campaigns, he was an atypical Romulan commander who questioned the ethics of his mission and was wary of war. He believed that enough lives had been sacrificed for the Romulan quest for conquest.

Romulan Commander defeated in 2266

After his defeat, the Commander of the Romulan flagship bestows his respect to the victor.

He engaged USS Enterprise commanding officer James T. Kirk in a deadly game of cat and mouse. At first, the Romulan commander tried to return to Romulus to deliver the information on the new weapon. However, he ordered for the Bird-of-Prey to turn and fight when the Enterprise intercepted the vessel. When his ship was disabled by the Enterprise, he destroyed his own craft, rather than be captured. He told Kirk that he admired him and that they were alike, and could have been friends in another reality. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")

This Romulan commander was played by actor Mark Lenard.
In the revised final draft script of "Balance of Terror", the Romulan commander was described thus; "The Commander – tall, graying, tired-looking – wears a white uniform that distinguishes him from the other members of the crew. He wears no helmet – has ears like Spock."
A runner-up for this role was Lawrence Montaigne, who was eventually cast as Decius. For the role of the commander, he read with TOS Casting Director Joseph D'Agosta. However, understanding and relating to the part meanwhile proved too difficult for Montaigne. "The casting director said that 'the character was the Commander of an intergalactic space ship that was about to engage the Enterprise in battle.' Yeah, sure," the actor remembered. "So I read, thanked everyone, and split." A few days later, Montaigne received the news, via a phone call from his agent, that he hadn't been cast as the commander. He was disappointed by the news but could understand why he hadn't been chosen for the part, given his difficulty of comprehending it. When his agent told him Mark Lenard had been selected instead, Montaigne, aware of Lenard's work, begrudgingly accepted Lenard would make a much better Romulan commander than he himself would. During the same phone call, however, Montaigne also learned he had won the role of Decius. ("Prologue", A Vulcan Odyssey)
In William Shatner's novel The Return, the commander's House, one of the oldest and most esteemed on Romulus, fell into disgrace after this failure, and his granddaughter Salatrel (β) was responsible for resurrecting Kirk, which she did with the intention of killing him and restoring the family's standing.
In the Myriad Universes short novel A Less Perfect Union (set in an alternate timeline in which, firstly, an attack on Starfleet, perpetrated by Terra Prime in the episode "Terra Prime", succeeded, Earth then went into isolation, and the Federation was never formed), the commander impersonated Sarek in order to disrupt a 2264 diplomatic conference. As he looked so much like Sarek, no disguise was necessary to pull it off, and he openly wondered if the two shared common ancestry from before the Vulcan-Romulan split.
The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as Keras (β), which is "Sarek" spelled backwards. The video game Star Trek Timelines also calls him "Keras".

The Romulan crewman was played by Walt Davis.

Crewman 2

Romulan crewman 2, 2266

Romulan crewman (2266)

This crewman was a member of a Bird-of-Prey on a mission testing a cloaking device, and a new energy weapon that destroyed Federation outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone. In the confrontation with USS Enterprise, he was lost with his ship. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")

The Romulan crewman was played by Vince Deadrick.

Scope operator

Romulan scope operator

Romulan scope operator (2266)

The scope operator served aboard the Praetor's flagship that attacked several Federation outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2266. He was responsible for the operation of the vessel, as well as making sensor observations. The Scope Operator was killed when his Commander destroyed the ship following its defeat by the USS Enterprise. (TOS: "Balance of Terror")

The Romulan scope operator was played by actor Robert Chadwick.
In the revised final draft script of "Balance of Terror", the Romulan scope operator was referred to as a crewman.
The character is given the name Praxus (β) in the "Star Trek: Romulans" comic book adaptation of "Balance of Terror".

2268

Commander 2

Romulan Commander, 2268

Romulan commander (2268)

In 2268, a female commander commanded the flagship that led the squadron consisting of a second sister ship and a Bird-of-Prey that captured the USS Enterprise after it illegally entered Romulan space. An ambitious officer, she felt that the achievement of her lifetime would be to bring the Enterprise back to Romulus intact. She saw that it would broaden the scope of her powers greatly.

She had a romantic interest in Spock. She invited him to dinner and went so far as to tell him that, unlike Vulcan women, Romulan females were passionate. She wanted Spock to serve at her side and take the Enterprise to Romulus. Spock reacted favorably to her advances.

After she believed Kirk had been killed, she expected Spock to agree to her wishes. In reality, Kirk and Spock were working under Federation orders to steal the cloaking device. Kirk was successful. The Commander ordered that Spock be executed, but she had herself beamed aboard the Enterprise with him. On the bridge, she ordered her flagship to destroy the Enterprise, but this failed, and the Federation starship managed to get away safely with the stolen Romulan cloaking device. While the device was turned over to Starfleet, Kirk said that the Commander would have been left off at the nearest Federation outpost. The Commander expected to be taken to the ship's brig, but was instead escorted to normal quarters. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")

This Romulan commander was played by actress Joanne Linville. The character whispered her name into Spock's ear, and he commented how "rare and beautiful" it was, but it was never spoken aloud.
According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, Naren Shankar suggested bringing back the Commander in "Face of the Enemy" but Linville was unavailable, and thus the character of Toreth was created instead.
The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives her name as "Charvanek", as do the novels Vulcan's Heart and Exodus, which call her Liviana Charvanek (β). The novel The Fate of the Phoenix calls her "Di'on Charvon" while Killing Time names her "Praetor Thea". The video game Star Trek Timelines calls her Nevesa.

Doctor

This doctor served aboard the flagship of the three-ship squadron of Romulan battle cruisers that apprehended the USS Enterprise on an illegal run into Romulan space in 2268.

After Spock performed the Vulcan death grip on James T. Kirk, this Romulan doctor certified that he was in fact dead. When Christine Chapel later pointed this out to Leonard McCoy, McCoy revealed that Spock had actually given Kirk a nerve pinch to simulate death, fooling the Romulans and allowing for his infiltration of the Romulan ship. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")

This Doctor was only mentioned in dialogue.

Guard 1 and 2

These Romulan guards escorted Spock and James T. Kirk to their commander's quarters following the capture of the USS Enterprise in 2268. Following their meeting, they escorted Kirk to the security room, and returned to the commander's quarters to stand guard.

When Spock and the commander left her quarters, to go to the security room, they tagged along. En route, the commander invited Spock to dinner. When he inquired if the guards were also invited to dinner, she dismissed them.

They later returned to the commander's quarters with Sub-Commander Tal, after Tal intercepted an alien communication from within the ship. When it dawned on the commander that the cloaking device may have been compromised, they escorted Spock along with Tal and the commander to engineering. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")

These Romulans were played by unknown actors. The second one also appeared as an Ekosian SA official in "Patterns of Force".
Guard #2 was given the name D'vano on a card from the Star Trek Customizable Card Game.

Once materialized the two officers drew their disruptors, much to Montgomery Scott's disgust, but were promptly taken to the brig. When Kirk later returned to the ship, he inquired if these two officers were aboard so that he could acquire one of their uniforms. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")

With that said, and ordered Kirk to surrender the Enterprise, thereafter, the crew would be dropped off at the nearest outpost guarding the Zone.

While giving Kirk five minutes to inform the crew of the ship's surrender, Kirk realized that the Romulans were waiting for the Enterprise, confronted him with regards to the Vendorian spy they employed. The Romulan commander disavowed all knowledge of such a ploy, and gave Kirk one last chance to surrender, or risk being destroyed.

Shortly thereafter, the commander's ship opened fire on the Enterprise.
