PJ has given us an intimate yet epic, strategic yet tactical, & political yet personal story of the first interstellar war. He was kind enough to consult on much of my story and take my thoughts about his.
If you haven’t yet started, his epic is nearing its end. You should definitely start today!

But the big way to move out of the system was military service. Reman soldiers would fight in skirmishes with the Klingons, in the suppressing of the Haakona rebellions and most importantly provide ground contingents during the Earth-Romulan war. See @intheraptorsclaws.bsky.social for details

The addition of the Remans was extremely important for flashing out the Romulan Empire as an empire and not just a nebulously defined Planet of Hats.
They have been vital to our project, as a handy solution to the “how do you have land battles in the ERW w/o ever seeing the Romulans?” problem too
