The Romulan War (FASA)

Template:Realworld The Romulan War was a sourcebook guide for Star Trek: The Role Playing Game by FASA.

While the guide did include quite a bit of information about the war gleaned from the description given in "Balance of Terror", it cannot really be used in any manner except as a historical guide. There is no information about the combat abilities of the starships.

There is vast information about the classes of ships involved. The guide also give a non-canon version of how the war could have ended, understandable since there is no definite information on the subject. In this scenario, the Earth ships and Romulans are both losing men at an alarming rate. A councilman named Dannon gives an impassioned speech to stop the fighting after a great victory gives the Federation a marginal tactical advantage. Councilman Dannon was later assassinated by someone disgruntled about ending the war without total victory.

One manner in which the guide manages to stay within canon is describing the fact that no Human ever saw a Romulan. Their ships were either destroyed or self destructed before capture. According to the guide, the war was started with a series of pirate attacks by an unknown enemy. Earth declared war when a Starbase was attacked and destroyed. Much like in World War II with the commanders at Pearl Harbor, there was a lot of finger-pointing as to how the base was destroyed.
