#REDIRECT [[Kingdom of Reman]] |
|||
In the fictional ''[[Star Trek]]'' universe, '''Remans''' are natives of the planet [[Romulus and Remus (Star Trek)|Remus]]. They have been 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]]. |
|||
The Remans are treated as second class citizens — an undesirable [[caste]] within the [[Romulan Empire]]. ''Remus'' is a prime planet of [[dilithium]] mining, and as such, many '''Remans''' have been forced into [[slavery|slave]] labour. |
|||
One theory states that ''Remus'' is an English translation of the planet's real name, '''Romii''', because in the original [[Star Trek]] episode, "Balance of Terror", the starmap of the [[Romulan]] system listed the planets as ''Romulus'' and ''Romii'' while the latter was apparently spoken of as '''Remus'''. Therefore, the race's true name would be the '''Romiians'''. Other possiblities are that the name of the second Romulan planet was unknown at the time and the label 'Romii' is a reduction of 'Romulus II' or 'Romii' is a nearby Romulan colony and not directly linked to Remus. |

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]]''. |
