Rhi’Galae
From BetaWiki
The Rhi'Galae was formed after the Romulan Federation war of 2398 when Ael t'Kazon attacked and captured the Tomika system and Starbase 220 (Now Koahht Hama) from the Federation. The Kazon sector is a strategically important sector bordering both the Federation and Klingon Empire.
In the Romulan Federation war of 2401 using Tomika as a staging point the Rhi'Galae invaded Federation space capturing Drakken III and attacking the strategically important Yadalla system. However, with the death of Khre'Riov tr'Tomalak the Romulan forces were forced into a withdrawl.
After the murder of the senate in 2406 Vaek'Riov Argelian tr'Verelan allowed the surviving senators refuge in the Rhi'Galae while a short lived civil war occured between Loyalist of the former senate and the traitors who called themselves the "New Senate."
Facts:
The Rhi'Galae is comprised of over 1000 modernized Romulan ships, it also is separated into several wings. The RIS Aylhr is part of the Hwi'Ael or the first wing (also referred to as the First Defense Wing).
The Rhi'Galae is current under the command of Vaek'Riov Argelian tr'Verelan
Fleet Responsibility
The Galae is responsible for the Kazon Sector or Sector 5. To the right is a map of the Rhi'Galae (5th fleet) zone, the green line represents the Neutral Zone which separates the Romulan Star Empire from the United Federation of Planets and also the border between the RSE and the Klingon Empire. The Rhi'Galae is considered the main strategic position in the event of a war between the Federation or the Klingon empire. Key systems for all three governments are located in this tense region of space.
The headquarters of the Rhi'Galae is situated in Tomika where Kaohht (Station) Hama is located. It is also the home station for the Hwi'Ael and the RIS Aylhr.
There are several other important planets which are listed in the map such as Drakken III, ch'Danutha, Agurtha, and Justaris. To the left is the Federation planet of Yadalla and south are the Klingon planets of Khitomer and Narenadra.
Kazon Sector
In 2398 Ael t'Kazon launched a massive assault on Starfleet and Klingon positions in this region of space. The Romulan Star Empire was successful in capturing several systems and resisting Federation counter assaults to maintain control of the strategically important Tomika system and Starbase 220, now Kaohht Hama. During the 2401 war against the Federation the Rhi'Galae used Kaohht Hama as a major staging point for an offensive against the major Federation system of "Yadalla" though unsuccessful they were able to capture Drakken III before the wars end.
The Rhi'Galae operates in a region often referred to as the "Fortress" alluding to the many defensive positions located in the Kazon sector.
Agurtha - Green Industrial/Agricultural world of long Rihannsu standing. Known for producing the most decadently plush flitters (anti-grav cars).
Drakken III - Captured Federation World in 2398, noted for having a large penal colony. In 2407 it was infiltrated by a Federation team sent to rescue POW's held illegally after the war of 2401. All information regarding the incident has seemingly disappeared however.
ch'Danutha - Small agricultural world of only light Rihannsu populace. Known for a farming school, rice like crops, nice climate and a small Gai'Shian war college. ch'Danutha once was shelled by a rogue Starfleet vessel but has since recovered.
Justaris - Rainy, cold planet of moderate build. Rear line ship yards are located in the Justaris system as well as 2 larger naval academies. Justaris has a population slightly larger then Agurtha and is often noted as a large supplier of the Rhi'Galae's supplies and reserve personnel. The fourth strike wing is also stationed on Justaris.
Tomika - Capture Federation World in 2398, it is the largest population center in the sector. Tomika is home to the captured Federation Starbase 220, having been converted to Kaohht Hama it is the headquarter's of the Rhi'Galae and Hwi'Ael (First Defense Wing) containing about 250 ships. The system has passed hands between the Federation and RSE on several occasions, but has stayed in Romulan control since 2398. Tomika is known for its heavy mining and industry. Also it has has a massive flitter racing circuit that courses through the planet's deserts. It is also home to several large military academies and the Rhi'Galae's Gai'Shian army (about 650,000 troops).
