Questions:

If Donatra went missing in 2387....but this Log takes place in 2387, and then they say shes been missing for 20 years how does this make sense?

2nd one.....Suran is dead. He died in 2379, so how is this person talking to him? lol

It never says she's been missing for 20 years. It says she was missing in 2387 during the supernova.
Also, when does suran die? I looked in the 2379-2380 path and it just says the general died, not him.

I think it's destined we'll bump into the remaining crew of the Valdore. It's too mysterious a story to just end right there.

I didn't say he died in the Path series, he died in real Star Trek.

As for the Donatra thing, heres the quote:

"The worst thing that ever happened to Romulus was losing Donatra. I know, it’s a shocking thing to say, with all that’s happened. Had she remained Empress, these last two decades and more would have been incredibly different."

it does say she's been gone 20 years, this is supposed to be a reporter years later (20 years) asking someone about the events of 2379

From the log:

"Commander Suran, once captain of the warbird Soterus"

Now we know that the Path series has been following the Titan books pretty well....so here is a little quote from memory Alpha:

"The Star Trek Customizable Card Game has Suran commanding the Norexan-class warbird Soterus.
In the novels Taking Wing and The Red King, Suran still commanded the Romulan military jointly with Donatra. She killed him after she came to regard him as an obstacle in the way of evacuating the Neyel homeworld."

Yea, im betting they are setting up for a romulan empire comeback from the unexplored regions of the galaxy.

Ahhh. Yeah that's a bit weird. But it could very well have been closer to the present STO time when the supplemental log went into effect. Hard to say really.

Obviously they didn't follow it exactly. Especially since the Titan series probably doesn't have the destruction of Romulus.

The Tian series is still in the year 2381, destruction of Romulus is 2387. Theres loads of time for that.

Oh.
Well still, the Titan series is soft canon and they're choosing which soft canon to follow and how closely. So... meh. I'm not concerned.

it could be someone in the time that the game takes place is doing an interview with the interview with the romulan and talking about the past.
