Romulus and Remus are the twin homeworlds of the Romulans, both very different. Remus keeps close ties to Vulcan, while Romulus is closer to the Klingon Empire, although neither Romulan world is a full member of the Empire.
For the most part, the Romulan people keep to themselves, unless induced - for a price - to become involved in the business of other planets. They number the majority of the bounty hunters and mercenaries in the Quadrant, and can be counted on to provide information and weapons to the whomever can offer the greatest inducement. The Tal Shiar, much like Cardassia's Obsidian Order, is an efficient, highly-skilled intelligence agency; unlike the Order, it works both within and beyond the confines of the Empire.
