REMAN: Cultural Index
The Remans of Star Trek are a race sensitive to light and seldom seen outside of the Romulan Star Empire. Hailing from the planet of Remus in the Romulus system, they have been servants to the Empire for their entire existence.
All records of their origin are lost to them with only a few stories being passed among their ranks as they toil in the dilithium mines of their tidally locked planet.
This is the Cultural Index a series aimed at exploring various Science-Fiction species.
For outsiders to a series to get to know the basics and maybe even hardened Sci-fi nuts might discover something new.
Thanks for watching!

The Remans were one of the only good parts of Nemesis. It really highlighted the hubris and ignorance of the Romulan Star Empire that they were totally unaware of the Reman uprising aided by a select few ambitious Romulans.
I always thought that the Remens were natives that the Romulans enslaved and interbred with
Unfortunately, the Romulans have been completely ruined and written off by the most current Trek lore. Supposedly, aliens advanced enough to power their ships with black holes can have their home world destroyed by a supernova without being aware of the impending threat . It's a shame because the Romulans been a mysterious and cool federation adversary for as long as Trek has existed. Overall, Star Trek is as dead as Star Wars is to me now.
I find it very unfair to the Remans that they were kind of cast as an antagonist in Nemesis, and made to look "mean and ugly", in the tired old trope that ugly aliens are the baddies. If Shinzon hadn't been such a looney who wanted to destroy everything (again, a tired trope), he might have freed them from the Romulans and led them to independence and peaceful cooperation with the other races.
Genetically engineered Romulans.
I prefer the theory that they are uplifted natives using Romulan DNA Since they would have been uplifted when the Romulans first rived in their new system the DNA used would have been Vulcan passing on the telepathic genes.
I wish Obisek was canon. He's my bro.
Shinzon love him or hate him, was the only person in The Dominion War to have a clean sweep, by achieving victory in each battle he was involved him. Not even Benjamin Sisko could claim such a feat.
As far as Trek cannon is concerned, I think they are under developed, but definitely full of potential for future stories. I think an off shoot theory is interesting, but like I said, Trek (and CBS) would have to be interested in exploring the Trek franchise from Nemesis forward and I am hoping this Picard show does so...but I have little hope.
Why do all the species look so similar unfortunately the biggest confirmed true reason is the best actors on earth are homosapiens and costume design can be really hard to execute well deviating too far from the performer's actual anatomy. But I do appreciate how they try hard and somewhat successfully compensate with storytelling
Me before Picard: There guys are cool, I hope we see more of them.
I just want a Star Trek movie or TV show to do a long involved storyline with the Romulans. They keep popping up here and there in various series, but it always seems to be the Klingons who take center stage as the other alien race.
"They evolved this way... or maybe they mutated."
I love this race and the new future of reconciliation on New Romulus in Star Trek Online.
I'll admit this is strickly my own head canon but I think remans (along with other servitor races) formed the bulk romulan ground forces and ship board security during the Romulan War (of 2150s) explaining why UFP has no (reliable) depiction of romulans before the mid or late 2260s.
Remans for sure in Picard show. The collapse of the Star Empire surely see the Remans make another attempt at freedom.
The Remans are my favorite race. Thanks for doing them Certifiably Ingame!!! Great job as all ways. I actually have looked in some personal research as to whether they would be another offshoot or another distinct race that shares traits just because of them being one of the seeded races. It is pretty neat stuff! Great job once again, you channel is my favorite on KZread.
You should read the book vulcan hart . it explains in detail how the remis where created and how the sundereded vulcans where exsiled to the mines in the begening .
I love the Riemann hopefully they'll find a planet of your own I'm sure they have and be good allies to the federation
