Appearance: Mammalian; skin tones range from sallow green to dark brown, ears slightly pointed
Homeworld: Romulus
- Originally Vulcan
- Major offworld populations: Throughout the Romulan Star Empire
Copper-based blood
Distantly related to the Zami
- Descendant of the peoples of the Arret Empire
A distant branch of Vulcans, having departed the homeworld centuries ago following the Time of Awakening
Largely biologically similar to Vulcans, but genetic drift has made them differentiable with careful scanning
- Among other differences, Romulans lack the telepathic talents of Vulcans
Cultural notes
- Romulans consider danger associated with green, safety with orange (ENT Novel: The Good That Men Do)
  - Hold over from their Vulcan heritage
    - Derived from the fact that their blood is naturally green, and plant life was extremely rare on Vulcan
  - As a result, status displays use a green/orange color scheme rather than the more common Human red/green scheme (ENT Novel: The Good That Men Do)
