Wow 3 factions all of which will be playable from level 1. Sounds good!

This pleases Shackelford greatly.
Not surprisingly, a lot of KDF players are whining; because that's what they do every time there's an update. I play KDF with some regularity, so I do get it. It's just that it's never enough. Was the KDF half of a faction at release? Certainly. And it took a while before they started to receive attention, but it's consistently improved over time.
I've been trying to find confirmation, but I'm pretty sure that being able to play from level 1 means there's going to be new missions on the KDF side. How many will be new, and how many will be Fed conversions, is the question. What I've heard is new KDF tutorial, 20 mission conversions, and 8 new missions. If that's the case, then, I think this look good. I can't imagine that they'd be dumb enough to release a Romulan faction that's more complete than the KDF.
Wondering what this is going to cost. Free? That would be nice, but I'm prepared to shell out some $ if it come down to it - most MMO's don't do free expansions. Except Eve. It's also possible it could be something purchaseable through the Zen store, so start saving your stipends just in case...

I for one am excited. Romulans has always been one of those Star Trek areas where I have been interested in. Some of my favorite TNG episodes have focused around Romulans. And you are right Shack, even if I have to pay for it, I'll play this new faction.
I guess the next question coming is...do we consider/start plans for a 7th fleet presence within this new faction...maybe a "7th Romulan Guard" ?

I think we absolutely should. Name sounds good to me.

It was just a stab based on the TNG episode "Reunification."
I'd love to hear name suggestions from other fleet members as well, after all, its YOUR fleet!

It looks awesome. I might make a Romulan just to have one, but honestly I've never had an interest on that side like I have for the Klingons.

Kinda unsure on this...for starters I've never really been able to get too excited about playing Klingons...secondly...I have a lifetime sub...does this mean I get an additional character slot or do I have to flush a toon or buy another slot to play a Romulan? Not sure I want to flush a toon or buy another slot...lastly...do I even have time to do this? I'm finding it hard to make time to play this game as it is.

Yes, finally. Ever since I started playing STO, I wanted a Romulan. I'd be happy to help start a Fleet presence there.

"7th Shadow Guard"
"7th Shadow Contingent"
"7th Raptor Contingent"
Just mixing some words around in my head.

Yea, the Klingons only took over the Gorn and the Nausicaans. Oh and have been waging war with the Federation while "helping" Romulans re-build on another planet because......wait for it.......their planet blew up.
Conquering warriors > Conniving refugees
P.S.: I like the name Jason, need to be quick on getting it before the fake 7th's get it.

As long as they show some love to the KDF along the lines of what Shack has put forth, I won't grumble...as much. I've also wanted to play as a Romulan for a while, so count me in. I'll definitely be purchasing a couple more character slots (though I *may* dump a toon or two, depending).*
As far as name suggestions -
7th Praetorian Guard
7th Imperial Wing
*P.S.: The character it would make the most sense for me to "dump" would be Syrann, as I RP him as half Vulcan, half Romulan, anyway. There's even odds at this point I'd remake him as a Romulan character.
