Not only the Federation and Klingons benefit from the infusion of strong Alternate Universe personnel from the original series; from the very first Romulan episode comes the unnamed Centurion, Keras's senior advisor. His icon will let him report to either the Gal Gath'thong or the Decius with Crew Reassignment, while his icon and SCIENCE classification let him make use of all the classic equipment. And that's just a start.
It's hard to have too much Exobiology around for passing dilemmas, especially under a SCIENCE classification rather than the too-easily shanghaied MEDICAL. Stellar Cartography will fit nicely into any space-oriented Romulan deck, and Honor with a green border is always in short supply. His own dazzling (for a Romulan) INTEGRITY of 7 is overshadowed by his special skill: he boosts all attributes of other Romulans at his location by +1 each. That's enough to reduce the requirement to nullify a Dal'Rok by one personnel, gets nearly every Romulan past Firestorm level, and makes it just that much easier to pass Alien Parasites - and he doesn't even have to be in the Away Team.
Combos:
- The Centurion + Classic Tricorder: Now he's just as useful on the ground as in space.
- The Centurion + opponent's "Crimson Forcefield": He'll nudge the CUNNING of several good OFFICERS above 8 to keep your current tactic in play.
