A trilogy of books in the so-called [[Star Trek Novel Verse]], building upon the earlier novel ''[[Star Trek: VulcansVulcan's Heart]]'' and continuing the story of Spock and Saavik into the late 24th century. The trilogy also serves to bridge the gap between portrayals of Romulan-Federation political relations at the end of [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]] and the state of affairs in [[Star Trek: Nemesis]]. It also sets up many of the players for the first book in the [[Star Trek: Titan]] series.
 
The three books are ''Exodus'', ''Exiles'' and ''Epiphany''.
Line 10:
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Female example. Charvanek, as ever, is a mother to her underlings, though since moving away from active service "her men" are her aids and staff rather than actual warriors.
* [[Alien Arts Are Appreciated]]: Charvanek's office features Irlani art as well as Romulan.
* [[Arc Welding]]: This trilogy links ''[[Star Trek: VulcansVulcan's Heart]]'' to [[Star Trek: Titan]] and [[Star Trek: Nemesis]]. It also connects nicely with the [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine Relaunch]] and the [[Star Trek: A Time to...]] series. In particular, it takes the political situation with the Romulans following the end of Deep Space Nine (namely, their alliance with the Federation and Neral being praetor) and alters it appropriately to set up ''Nemesis'', in which the Romulans are isolationist again and the praetor is Hiren.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: As with many Vulcans, Karatek and T'Vysse were betrothed at a young age. They are [[Happily Married]], as Vulcans consider arranged unions entirely logical, and rarely feel imposed upon.
* [[Ass in Ambassador]]: Romulan Ambassador T'Kala is fond of posturing rather than negotiating diplomatically.
Line 37:
* [[Gunboat Diplomacy]]: Tomalak's fleet blockades Vulcan in order to intimidate the USS ''Alliance'' into returning the Coronet of Karatek to the Romulans.
* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen|She Who Must Not Be Seen]]: T'Rehu, dictatorial Ruling Queen of Romulus, in the refugee plot set two thousand years ago.
* [[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]]: Praetor Neral is about to lead the Romulan Empire into formalizing alliance with the Federation (as well as lift many of the restrictions placed on the Vulcan unificationist movement). He's come to realize the Federation can be trusted and that they're worthy friends to Romulus...but he's unable to implement any of his new policies before he's killed off, replaced by conservative leaders who take Romulus back into hostile isolationism.
* [[Hive Mind]]: The true natives of Remus; tiny, rapidly-evolving extremophile lifeforms clustered under the ice.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Solor might approach this at times.
