Background information

This star system was only mentioned in writing.

The Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 66, "United Federation of Planets II") and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"; "Position of the Romulan Star Empire") classified the primary of the Romii system as a K-class star. It was located in the Romulan War Theater of Operations (2156-60). The Romii system was identified as a Romulan system in a star chart created by Stellar Archive Artist Lsel Essik in 2366 for the Romulan Master Data Catalog.

Before Romii was identified as a star system in star charts for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, both the Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 2, p. 215 and StarTrek.com [1](X) stated that Romii was an alternative name for Remus.

The chart from the SS Eleos XII originated in the Star Trek: Star Charts and was modified for its appearance in the episode. Dave Blass published pictures of the set on his website.

Apocrypha

In the Star Trek Maps (p. 29), Romii was an early Romulan colony. It was a white subdwarf orbited by four planets, with only the inner planet inhabited, with a population of five billion.
