Romulans

Secretive stellar empire

Romulans are a fictional alien species in the Star Trek universe, characterized as cunning, secretive, and militaristic adversaries of the United Federation of Planets.

They share ancestry with Vulcans but rejected logic in favor of passion and imperial ambition, ruling a vast interstellar empire from their homeworld Romulus.

In broader usage, Romulan can describe someone who is calculating, duplicitous, or plays political games with cold precision.

He approached office politics like a Romulan—always scheming, never showing his hand.
