With the dwindled population and organization of the Romulan Star Empire near the end of the 24th century, who will step up as the next big player? The Federation generally expands by diplomacy and comradery. The Klingons have had time since their civil war to get their shit together. The Orion Syndicate typically stays on the outskirts, but the opportunity is there. The Dominion had been a non-player since the treaty, but then who actually expects them to ignore the situation? The Borg as we know them in that time period are gone. (Insert new faction/random Delta Quadrant race) appears to mix things up. I’m not familiar with any Beta Canon or STO lore, so if any of this gets addressed, I’m curious to hear of it.

        In our timeline the whole “what happens after the destruction of Romulus and end of the RSE (and how that happened, and why)” thing was kinda ages ago 😅 I’m not sure anycritter around here has any interest in STO, though. Kinda seems like I’m the only one who’s mentioned it (though I’ve not peeked nor poked around here much)?

        Please don’t stuff me into an agonizer booth for consuming unapproved Trek content v.v

          Thanks for expanding a bit. STO isn’t my style of game, but I figured some of it is considered canon.

            It’s not, but some of the storyline is good enough that IMO it ought to be.

          I do.
