*Aggressive and intimidating, the well-known symbol of the Romulan Empire seems to depict some kind of giant alien bird with its outstretched claws grasping two planets. It is not known if this depicts the struggle of the Romulan Empire to seize and contain an ever-increasing number of planets in its growth, or the twin home worlds of the Romulans, Romulus and Remus. Whatever its meaning, the tradition of displaying a powerful-looking type of avian reaches far back in the history of the Romulan's spacefaring vessels. The first sighting of a Romulan spaceship had a similar type of depiction on its hull, and even now the Romulans' flagship vessels are called Warbirds. *Source: Back of card
