The designation for the Romulan sun is unknown, although some unverified sources suggest it might be "Romulus", too.

The Romulan system was an inhabited star system in Sector Z-6. The system consisted of a primary and four planets. The 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)
