Romulan Star Navy
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
The Romulan Star Navy, also known as the Romulan Imperial Fleet or Grand Fleet, and commonly referred to as Imperial armada or space fleet was the space force of the Romulan Star Empire. The Star Navy operated fleets of warbirds, birds-of-prey and other starships and was often at the forefront of the Star Empire's contacts with the Klingon Empire, United Federation of Planets and other external affairs. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins, TOS novel: The Empty Chair, et al.)
- The name Romulan Star Navy comes from usage in FASA's RPG book: Romulan Ship Recognition Manual and LUG's The Way of D'Era: The Romulans. Romulan Imperial Fleet comes from the Starship Spotter and the term space force was used to refer to the Romulan fleet by a Klingon in the TOS comic: "Alien Spotlight: Romulans". The star navy may exist as a branch of the larger Romulan military organisation, the Romulan Guard.

During the Dominion War, the Imperial Fleet participated in the First Battle of Chin'toka, the Second Battle of Chin'toka, the Battle of Cardassia and many other encounters with the Dominion. The flagships of the Imperial Fleet included the IRW D'ridthau and the IRW Rovaran. (DS9 episode: "What You Leave Behind", ST CCG)
In 2380, the Imperial Fleet was divided between those forces loyal to the new Praetor, Tal'Aura, and those loyal to Commander Donatra, commanding officer of the IRW Valdore. The segments of the Imperial Fleet loyal to Donatra later captured Achernar Prime and several other farming worlds, providing the military of the newly-declared Imperial Romulan State.
