The Romulans (Rihannsu in their own language) were a humanoid race from the planet Romulus in the Beta Quadrant. The Romulans were biological cousins of Vulcans, descended from those who rejected Surak's reforms during the Time of Awakening. They founded and ruled the Romulan Star Empire. However, after a failed coup d'état in 2379 and the destruction of Romulus in 2387, different factions formed among the surviving Romulans. The Romulan Republic became the most prominent faction in the early 25th Century.
