The “Road to the Stars” began at Vulcan…or here?

FASA's Romulans are different from Diane Duane's Rihannsu. FASA's Romulans call themselves in their own language "Rom'lnz," their home planet is "Rom'lasz," it's companion which the Federation calls Remus is "Rav's" in the FASA game, and their language is called "Rom'lesta."

Duane's Rihannsu terminology is nowhere to be found in FASA's Romulan sourcebook.
John M. Ford, however, is credited as being part of the game design team for FASA's Klingon supplement and Ford was apparently working on both the game and THE FINAL REFLECTION at roughly the same time.

You're right. I still have the Romulans supplement and went and looked it up- I'm misremembering it, obviously. I think we must have homebrewed some of Diane Duane's stuff into our own campaign back in the day.

Diane Duane's Rihannsu stuff as well as FASA Romulan ship designs comingled in DC comics' Trek series.

I never had any of those comics. The only comics I was ever really interested in were Star Wars and some Batman stuff back in the 90's.

FASA had some really good starship designs, particularly a few of the Romulan ones. The Winged Defender was the jewel in that crown, I think.

I wasn't too particularly enamored with any of the ships in the TNG Manual. They all looked like kitbashes with their odd proportions/scaling and Enterprise saucers married to Excelsior nacelles. The only one that looked like it could belong in the TNG period was their version of the 'Ambassador' class, long before the one seen in 'Yesterday's Enterprise'.

The weirdness is the appeal, IMHO. But then, I love those unholy DS9 kitbashes.

I think Decker is a cool ship
