The '''Romulan Senate''' is the main governing body of the [[Romulan Star Empire]], seated in the [[Romulan Senate chamber|Senate chamber]] located in the capital city on the [[planet]] of [[Romulus]]. The Senate is headed by the [[Praetor]], followed by the [[Proconsul]], the [[Vice-proconsul]], and finally the [[senator]]s. The Senate does not sit on the third day of the Romulan week. They also work on a timetable that is difficult to predict. ([[TNG]]: "[[Unification, Part I]]"; [[VOY]]: "[[Eye of the Needle]]", et al)
 
 
After a combined [[Tal Shiar]]-[[Obsidian Order]] fleet entered the [[Gamma Quadrant]] on a mission to [[genocide|wipe out]] the [[Founder]]s, the Tal Shiar sent a message to the Senate that explained their actions. The Senate released a statement explaining that they had no previous knowledge of the Tal-Shiar's plans and claimed it was exploring options to stop them. ([[DS9]]: "[[The Die is Cast]]")
 
 
[[Chairman]] [[Koval]] of the Tal Shiar often stated that there was a [[Federation]] [[spy]] in the Senate to deflect suspicion from himself, the Federation's [[operative]] in the Romulan government. ([[DS9]]: "[[Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges]]")
 
 
It was the death of Senator [[Vreenak]] that led to the Romulans declaring [[war]] on the [[Dominion]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[In the Pale Moonlight]]")
 
 
Several senators travelled to the [[front line]]s of the [[Dominion War]], to represent the interests of the Senate. Senators such as [[Letant]] and [[Kimara Cretak]] represented the Romulan Empire on [[Deep Space 9]]. ([[DS9]]: "[[Tears of the Prophets]]", "[[Image in the Sand]]", "[[Shadows and Symbols]]", "[[Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges]]")
 
 
Following the Star Empire's placement of [[plasma torpedo]] launchers to protect its [[hospital]] on [[Derna]], the Federation sent a formal protest to the Senate. The Senate retorted with a protest of their own. ([[DS9]]: "[[Shadows and Symbols]]")
 
 
In [[2379]], all but [[Tal'aura|one member]] of the Romulan Senate were assassinated by [[Shinzon]] of [[Remus]], who gained support from the Romulan military and declared himself Praetor. The Senate was reconvened after Shinzon's death and the defeat of his [[Reman]] insurrection. (''[[Star Trek Nemesis]]'')
 
 
:''According to the non-[[canon]] [[novel]] ''[[Vulcan's Heart]]'' by [[Josepha Sherman]] and [[Susan Shwartz]], the building is named the "Hall of State".''
