Changes: Romulan Continuing Committee

Bashir, Sloan and Cretak in front of Continuing Committee — A level view of the Romulan Continuing Committee

The Continuing Committee was one of the highest governing bodies of the Romulan Star Empire. Headed by the Praetor, the Committee comprised members of the Romulan Senate as well as other high-ranking officials. Usually the chairman of the Tal Shiar serves on the Committee, although this is not always the case (the Praetor is the only member who is guaranteed a seat on the Committee - all others must compete to be allowed in).

One of the Committee's duties is the confirmation of a new praetor. The Committee also serves as a court when criminal charges are brought against members of the Senate.

In 2375, Senator Cretak and Chairman Koval were both vying for an open seat on the Committee. Koval was given the seat after a Section 31 plot eliminated Cretak from consideration. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")

It was left unclear exactly what relation the Continuing Committee had to the Romulan Senate. The Committee seemed to be a smaller body than the Senate (seen in Star Trek Nemesis), so perhaps it was a more powerful, executive-type committee that handled important affairs of the Empire, fulfilling a function similar to that of a cabinet or a presidium.

-Another possibility could be that the Continuing Committee serves as something akin to the United States Cabinet or the British Cabinet, a board comprising high-ranking officials from various sectors of the Empire that oversee the day-to-day running of its infrastructure.}}
