Consisting of a primary and four planets, the Romulan system was an inhabited star system in Sector Z-6. Its second and third planets were Romulus and Remus, the homeworlds of the Romulans and Remans, respectively. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", display graphic; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, production art; DS9: "The Search, Part II"; Star Trek Nemesis)

During the Neutral Zone Incursion of 2266, the location of the Romulan system was labeled on a map of Sector Z-6 that was displayed on the bridge viewscreen of the USS Enterprise. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", production art)

In 2293, the location of Romulus and Remus in the Milky Way Galaxy was labeled in a star chart that was in Captain James T. Kirk's quarters aboard the USS Enterprise-A. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, okudagram)

In 2387, this system was devastated by the Supernova of 2387, completely destroying Romulus. (Star Trek)

Background information

According to Startrek.com, the primary star in the system was called Romulus. According to Star Trek Maps (page 29) and The Worlds of the Federation (page 148), the Romulan star system was a binary star system of two white dwarfs known by the Federation as Romulus (primary) and Romulus B (secondary). In Diane Duane's Rihannsu novels, the indigenous name for the Romulan sun was Eisn.

-On a [[computer]] display in {{film|10}}, the Romulan system was depicted, containing one primary star and four [[orbit]]ing 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.
