The Path to 2409: 2388

Rekhan · 05-21-2009, 04:43 PM

Fallout from the destruction of the Romulan system dominates interstellar events in 2388.

The Romulan colony worlds reel from the loss of their homeworld and a vacuum in leadership. With the death of Praetor Chulan and the disappearance of Donatra, there is no one who has the authority to call the worlds to order or organize a new government. The leadership council of Rator III declares itself to be the new Romulan Senate and Rator III as the new capital of the Romulan Star Empire, but it is quickly challenged by the leaders of Achenar Prime and Abraxas V, who make similar claims.

One person many look toward to pull the Romulan people back together is Admiral Taris. She concentrates on evaluating what military forces remain, and issues a call for all remaining ships, even deep exploration vessels, to return to Romulan space.

Excellent update! Loved it!

So, the cunning Vulcans knew about the threat to Romulus/Remus and did nothing, eh? Perhaps this was their' way of getting revenge for the ages-old split of their' race? Hmmm......

Either way, it makes the Klingon Empire stronger!

I wonder if the Vulcans will be ex-federation members by the time we reach 2409.....?

Great story line Cryptic!

Ooh a public and political outcry against the Vulcans... very interesting!

So the Orions may end up part of the klingon Empire... also very interesting!

This is getting better and better

Vulcans, you got some explaining to do!

Thanks Cryptic. You guys are awesome.

I really enjoyed how the Vulcans were handled in this storyline update, and I am curious to see how the rest of their story plays out. All in all, this was another great installment of the series and I can definitely tell that the situation is becoming progressively more intense as the story gets closer to the date that the game is set in.

I wonder what the logic was for letting Romulus to be destroyed. Hope the Federation doesn't fall apart.

Well we kind of know which side the Orions end up on.

Great update, always love hearing the Breen mentioned.
