From the moment Romulans became known to the Federation one thing has been very clear; it is the way of the Romulan Star Empire to manipulate circumstances to their advantage and fight as many battles as possible from a distance. As a result they considered it a significant boon to set their hands upon an MCRN light frigate modeled precisely after the storied Rocinante which fought in the UN-MCR War. Intending to revive memories of that costly conflict and the historical propensity of humans to war amongst themselves, the Romulans brazenly parade this vessel along the borders of the Neutral Zone. They harbor no illusions that this will result in any drastic reaction, but the senate has learned that by making the proper moves an enemy’s future defenses can be shattered by introducing a crucial perceived flaw in the present.
