== Memorable quotes ==
"The syrinx makes for an excellent analogy. I am smarter than the syrinx, and I can arm myself with weapons, while the syrinx cannot. Yet if I were to assume that these advantages would give me an easy victory over the syrinx, then at best I would have a disappointing hunt. At worst, I would not survive it."
:- Commander Valak, explaining why Humans are adversaries worthy of respect and study
"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
:- Commander Valak, quoting Mark Twain
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
:- Commander Valak, quoting 
"Have you no pithy Romulan sayings to quote?"
:- Jean-Luc Picard to Commander Valak
== Background information ==

The Romulans

== Description ==
:This rules expansion for provides hundreds of interesting facts about the Romulans, their personality, their history, and their religion. These books also tell about the Romulan Star Empire, the fascinating Eridam Papers that describe it, its government, its relations with the UFP and the Klingons, and its extent.

:Now you can find out all about the Romulans. All you need is right here to add these mysterious aliens to Star Trek: The Role Playing Game. Included are the following:
:The Romulans: Star Fleet Intelligence Sourcebook – This 32-page book contains the latest intelligence on the Romulan people, the Romulan Star Empire, and the Romulan Imperial Navy. It includes up-to-date information that every Star Fleet officer should know if he is to serve anywhere near the Neutral Zone or the Triangle. Its many illustrations show uniforms and equipment, as well as starships, and Romulans engaged in various activities. It also includes short articles written by Commander Spock and others about the Romulans, as well as a short dictionary of common Romulan words.
:The Romulan Way: Game Operations Manual – This 48-page book contains all the information necessary for designing and running games that feature the Romulans. It provides the information necessary to create and train Romulan characters; a Romulan Character Record also is provided.

The Rules of Diplomacy

==Summary==
Benjamin Sisko asks Nog, hoping for entrance to Starfleet Academy, to accompany and guide a young Klingon officer named Gronn, the son of Commander Wartok, on a diplomatic mission to Ferenginar. At a casino on the planet, Nog and Gronn learn about each others' cultures and form the beginnings of a friendship.
==Background information==
* Aron Eisenberg (the actor who played Nog) co-wrote the story of the comic. Eisenberg commented: "I met the comic people at a convention in Vegas and I asked why they don't put Nog in the comics more often? They said why didn't I come over and write a story! That caught me by surprise so I called Mark Paniccia, the editor, and we became good friends. We had a brunch and I told him about my ideas, which he loved, so both of us wrote it. In the story Sisko calls Nog up and sends him on a mission just like he is in Starfleet. Nog has to take a Klingon to the Ferengi homeworld. Nog doesn't like Klingons too much and Sisko tells him he is going to have to deal with people he doesn't like as a Starfleet officer. So Nog agrees and there is a whole story about taking this Klingon, who is studying to become a diplomat, to his race's homeworld. It is a good story". ("In For a Penny, In For a Pound", Star Trek: The Official Fan Club of the UK Magazine issue 8)
* This was the second of two books in the "Celebrity Series" published by Malibu Comics.
* The title card is done as if the original title were "The Rules of Acquisition", but changed at the last moment to "The Rules of Diplomacy" by writing overtop of the old title.
* Phil Crain contributed an editorial commenting on his impressions of and how the character of Nog represents "the kid in us, and that's what Nog represents; a purity of soul we all hope we'll never lose."
* Chris Kipiniak contributed a two page biography of Eisenberg to finish the issue.

The Ships of Star Trek

The Ships of Star Trek is a reference book published in . It is an edited collection of articles written – by among others the editor himself – for various fanzines as well as publications like on the subjects of the starship , the Galileo shuttlecraft, and the Romulan Bird-of-Prey. The book is illustrated throughout with black and white photographs.
== Contents ==
* Section 1: The Starship Enterprise
** Introduction
** Roddenberry's Vision
** Screens and Shields
** Planets Visited
** Space Battles
** Technology Update
** The Enterprise That Almost Was
* Section 2: The Galileo Seven Shuttle Craft
** Introduction
** Life on Star Trek
** Life after Star Trek
* Section 3: The Romulan Bird-of-Prey
== Background information ==
* Due to its conception as a article collection, the book has become somewhat of an odd amalgam of both real-world development and appearances of the featured ships, the latter written from an in-universe perspective.
* However, written well before the Internet-age, this book has become outdated as a production reference work, as it contained many inaccuracies, propagating for example, misconceptions that have arisen in "Star Trek-lore". Few to no sources are referenced in the book, and a fair amount of "" is contained within the texts, leading up to speculative conclusions which have proven to be incorrect in later times. It served however, as a reminder on how little behind-the-scenes information was available to the general public at the time, especially in regard to the effects production. Caution should therefore be observed when consulting this work as a reference work, and researchers are advised to cross-verify findings with other reference works.
* Nevertheless, particularly noteworthy is the interview with Gene Winfield of AMT/Ertl's Speed & Custom Shop, who with his team not only manufactured the full scale mock-up and studio model of the Galileo shuttle, but also produced the two original D7-class studio models. Other noteworthy items are the rare pictures of the Bird-of-Prey studio model, one of which was not published before or after.

:Located far beyond the boundaries of explored space, the Goeg Domain is a political union of dozens of planets and races. When the arrives in its territory to investigate an interstellar phenomenon, Commander Laspas of the Domain Defense Corps is at first guarded, then fascinated to discover the existence of an alliance of worlds much like his own, and finds a kindred spirit in Captain James T. Kirk. And when the Enterprise is attacked by the Domain's enemies, crippling the starship's warp capability and leaving its crew facing the prospect of a slow, months-long journey home, the Goeg leader volunteers the help of his own ship, offering to combine the resources of both vessels to bring the Enterprise to a nearby Domain facility to make the necessary repairs.
:But what at first seems to be an act of peace and friendship soon turns out to be a devil's bargain, as Kirk and the Enterprise crew learn that there are perhaps more differences than similarities between the Federation and the Domain. When the Goeg's adversaries strike again, the Enterprise is drawn deeper and inexorably into the conflict, and Kirk begins to realize that they may have allied themselves with the wrong side…
