[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Romulans may be isolationist towards the Federation, but that is pretty much by UFP design (the Neutral Zone doesn't lend itself to commerce and cooperation, really). They seem to be actively "conversing" with other races, though. They were speculated to have had an alliance with the Klingons back in TOS; they fought with them during the 2270s, as per Kor's boasts in "Blood Oath"; they were part of both overt and covert Starfleet anti-Klingon plans in ST6 (note how the Romulan ambassador listens in on the "Operation Retrieve" briefing with the UFP President's approval - at least in the televised version of the movie); and they continued their war/scheming with the Klingons throughout their pre-TNG isolation, as per "Sins of the Father", "Face of the Enemy" et al. Moreover, they apparently were in some sort of cooperation with Cardassians at one time, since Dax in "Dax" says Cardies used Romulan components for Terok Nor, and Garak apparently was serving on the Cardassian embassy to Romulus at one time. And they employ foreign assassins, as per "Improbable Cause", suggesting cosmopolitan interest in interstellar matters. The fact that the Romulans keep fighting these multi-front wars might suggest they are rather powerful. Or then their constantly shifting alliances mean that they are weak when alone, and have to find allies wherever they can. Personally, I think it's more of the latter, and the Warbird fleet is mostly a propaganda fleet - a few dozen to a few hundred big ships and virtually no smaller ones. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
