(2370)

Commander Tomalak (played by Andreas Katsulas) was an influental officer in the Romulan military.

Tomalak was in command of the Romulan D'deridex-class warbird that violated the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2366 to rescue the crew of the Romulan scoutship Pi, that had crash-landed on Galorndon Core. Tomalak denied that the scoutship had illegally entered Federation space by claiming that it had suffered a "navigational failure", and he also denied the possibility of a second crew member since the USS Enterprise-D recovered Patahk from the surface. He was prepared to fire on the Enterprise after Patahk's death, though he desisted after a second crew member, Bochra, was returned safely. (TNG: "The Enemy")

Later that year, Tomalak was part of an elaborate deception involving Alidar Jarok and a supposed Romulan military build-up on Nelvana III. He allowed Jarok's defection to the Federation, and when the Enterprise illegally entered the Neutral Zone to investigate Jarok's reports, Tomalak had a pair of warbirds waiting for them. Tomalak was forced to retreat when the Enterprise revealed it had brought along Klingon reinforcements. (TNG: "The Defector")

An illusory version of Tomalak was part of a fantasy future created by the alien Barash in 2367 from Commander William Riker's mind on Alpha Onias III. In the illusion, Tomalak was at first a Romulan ambassador participating in negotiations for a Romulan-Federation alliance. When Riker found discrepancies in this illusion, Barash created a second one, in which Tomalak was commanding a secret base on the planet and wanted to get the position of Outpost 23 from Riker, but this was no more real than the first illusion. (TNG: "Future Imperfect")

In a possible timeline caused by Q in 2370, Tomalak commanded the IRW Terix, one of thirty warbirds deployed along the Romulan Neutral Zone in response to the appearance of an anti-time eruption in the Devron system. Tomalak confronted Jean-Luc Picard concerning their mutual fleet movements, and each agreed to send a single vessel into the Neutral Zone to investigate. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
