The Romulan system, which was not far from the Romulan Neutral Zone in Sector Z-6, was the star system that contained the capital planets of the Romulan Star Empire, Romulus and Remus. (TOS: "Balance of Terror"; Star Trek Nemesis) The location of Romulus/Remus in the Milky Way Galaxy was depicted on a Federation star chart, in 2293. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) Romulus, the largest and most heavily populated M-class planet in the system, was destroyed by a supernova in 2387. (Star Trek)

Background

On a computer display in Star Trek Nemesis, the Romulan system was depicted, containing one primary star and four orbiting planets, among them Romulus and Remus. However, since we do not know anything about the other two planets or the Romulan sun, there is no speculative information about those celestial bodies included in this article. The designation for the Romulan sun was unknown, although some unverified sources suggest it might be "Romulus", too. However, in Diane Duane's "Rihannsu" novels, the Romulan sun was referred to as Eisn.

The Explored Galaxy

This chart was also seen in several Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes set in the 24th century, from the year 2364 to 2370. These were: TNG: "Conspiracy", "The Measure Of A Man", "The Emissary", "The Mind's Eye", "The Game" and DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets", "Cardassians".

Star Trek: Star Charts

The name of this system was Romulus. Romulus was located in the Beta Quadrant. This system was a binary star system. The primary was a M-class star. Magnitude of the primary was +1, which was 100 times brighter than Sol. The stellar companion was a K-class star. (page 56) Looking at a comparison between this system in the book and in the star sector map, it can be argued that the author Geoffrey Mandel believed that the map provided information on the name of the system and what stars the system had.
