rdfs:comment
  • The Romulan Guard was Proconsul Neral's old service, in which he held the rank of uhlan. (TNG: "Unification II" ) The term "Romulan Guard" was only used in TNG: "Unification II" as the designation of Neral's old service. The episode does not make it clear whether the term applies to the entire Romulan military, a branch of it, or another service entirely. The Star Trek Encyclopedia (3rd ed., p. 531) has no "Romulan Guard" entry, although it is mentioned in the definition of "uhlan" as "the Romulan guard", where only Romulan is in bold because it references the article on Romulans.
  • Members of the Guard train at the Imperial War College alongside members of the Tal Shiar, the separate intelligence agency of the Romulan government. Commander Konsab, a military history instructor at the Romulan Intelligence Academy, held as his main theme the difference between the Romulan military and the Tal Shiar. He believed the necessity of military personnel to trust one another contrasted with the Tal Shiar's tendency to distrust their associates. (TNG episode: "Face of the Enemy")

abstract
  • Members of the Guard train at the Imperial War College alongside members of the Tal Shiar, the separate intelligence agency of the Romulan government. Commander Konsab, a military history instructor at the Romulan Intelligence Academy, held as his main theme the difference between the Romulan military and the Tal Shiar. He believed the necessity of military personnel to trust one another contrasted with the Tal Shiar's tendency to distrust their associates. (TNG episode: "Face of the Enemy") Within the Romulan Guard, there was also the feared security forces which belonged to Proconsul Neral. This feared unit within the military were chosen on the basis of size and strength after which they went special adaptations to their brain chemistry which reduced any sense of conscience or empathy after which their plan centers were regulated to the point that their bodies were impervious to the torment of physical injury. Thus creating a unit of brutal shock troopers which followed orders relentlessly, did not slow down due to injru and fought tenaciously until their body itself gave out. (TNG novel: Unification) These soldiers were simply refered to as being part of "Nerals security forces" which were presumably part of the Romulan Guard. Awards given to members of the guard for exemplar service included the Sotarek Citation and the Praetor Colius Award. (TNG episode: "Face of the Enemy"; DS9 episode: "In the Pale Moonlight")
