A long-form #startrek fan-project chronicling the fall and rise of the Romulan empire though the Hobus disaster to the establishment of the Romulan Republic.
In 2387 the planets Romulus and Remus were destroyed. As their goverment dithered, billions would perish and billions more take to the stars.
Why and how it happened, and how it wasn't the end but a new beginning is what this project is trying to explore.

A great Swedish-American once said “Don’t waste time mourning, organise”
For the sake of my own sanity I will be taking a break from this platform. You can always find From the Ashes at that other place.
"Trouble is in the land; confusion all around. That's a strange statement. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars."
I commissioned some artwork from @crwlls for the ‘Ritual’ short story and I’m sure you will all agree they absolutely knocked it out of the park, and there is so much more I can wait to share #fightingshipsofwolf359

The Romulan empire in its many iterations has for the most part functioned as a parliamentary democracy with a restricted franchise. Whether during the Second empire or during the First, Second and Third republics it has been similar in form if not in the details
A few senators might not be representing segments. Going back to the second republic individuals who distinguished themselves could be elected by acclamation as senators. These senators would usually be few in number and by tradition had to be elected by the entire chamber.
During the third republic all citizen landowners within a voting segment had the franchise. This excluded the non landowners, almost all non Romulans (a select few may be awarded citizenship) and those living on frontier worlds not organised into segments.

Brandon Braga has shared the news that prolific #StarTrek writer has sided.
She was known for her many contributions to Star Trek, including being the co-creator of Star Trek: Voyager!
According to the Tal Shiar communications office, the statement that an interstellar power can only survive if they empower their secret black ops service is both true and “as humans say, based”

When Romulus Security learned that Picard could be on the planet, their computer generated the most likely appearance of his disguise (left)
This was sent to all security forces.
With the addition of a clever disguise (right), Picard walked right past them.
Garid was a cold M class world situated in a binary star system on the Romulan empire's "north-eastern" frontier, one of the few situated in the otherwise unpopulated area refered to as the Avvrhi’afvu: the empty frontier.
The Garidians would stay loyal and accept refugees during the evacuation of the home system. The weakness of the Romulan Free State would allow them to embrace de facto independence.
Garid would still support the nascent Fourth Republic government, seeing them as a more dependent partner then Sela's empire or the various warlords. In return, the Republic senate would in 2410 recognize Garidian independence.
