- 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 identical biology and biochemistry to Vulcans

- Cultural notes
- Romulan faith
- Romulan language
- Romulans, as with Vulcans, consider danger associated with green, safety with orange (ENT Novel: The Good That Men Do)
- Derived from the fact that their blood is naturally green, and plant life was extremely rare on Vulcan, giving little-to-no innate association between nature and green
- 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)
- Romulan citizens expected to carry an Honor Blade, with which they are to take their own life should honor demand it of them (ENT Novel: The Good That Men Do)
- Most Romulan products illegal in the Federation due to trade sanctions
