In the fictional ''[[Star Trek]]'' universe, '''Remans''' are natives of the planet [[Romulus and Remus (Star Trek)|Remus]], resembling [[vampires]]. They were first introduced in the movie ''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]''. According to the film's backstory, they were subjugated ever since the [[Romulan]]s staked claim and set up their new homeworld in the system. Since ''Remus'' is [[tidal locking|tidally locked]] with the system's primary [[star]], the species lives in constant darkness, and so the Remans are extremely sensitive to [[light]]. |
|||
It was never made clear if the Remans were the original inhabitants of the planet, or were a mutated offshoot of the original Vulcan colonists, or the result of interbreeding between the original Vulcan colonists and the original inhabitants of the planet. Though grotesque, their morphological constitution has much in common with their possible Vulcan progenitors, such as pointed ears, limited telephathic powers, and greater physical strength and endurance than most humanoid species. Whatever the case of their origins, their grotesque appearance and unique constitution owes much to the race living generation after generation in an intensely hostile and radioactive environment. As eons passed they became more distinct from their ancestors as a result of both natural selection and genetic drift. |
|||
The Remans are treated as second class citizens — an undesirable [[caste]] within the [[Romulan Empire]]. ''Remus'' is a prime planet of [[Dilithium (Star Trek)|dilithium]] mining, and as such, many '''Remans''' have been forced into [[slavery|slave]] labour. Despite this, they are not inherently less intelligent than Romulans, as evidenced by the intellect and telepathy demonstrated by Shinzon's Vice Roy. |

{{spoiler}} |

As a result of the Remans' subjugation and harsh treatment, the Romulan Senate and [[Praetor]] were killed in a conspiracy led by [[Shinzon]] (''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]'') to gain control of the Empire and use his new starship, the ''[[Scimitar (Star Trek)|Scimitar]]'', equipped with [[thalaron radiation]] weapons and a nearly impenetrable [[Cloaking Device|cloak]], to destroy every lifeform on [[Earth]] (in order to provoke war between the [[United Federation of Planets]] and the Empire). It is also known that Remans were used by Romulans as [[shock troops]] during the [[Dominion War]]. Remans have also been seen as security escorts for Romulan VIPs on ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]''. |
