Feel free to peruse our site which currently has 462 articles. Mar 21 Year 2426 Stardate 242603.21 The IRW Aylhr is no ordinary warship. A heavily modified D’Dherex-class dreadnought, she has been refit for versatility in the ever-shifting political and military landscape of the Beta Quadrant. Despite the ship’s formidable reputation, her command chair is held by Riov Rhae'go tr'Neyl a man some still regard as an outcast. How he came to command the Aylhr is a story of intrigue, betrayal, and an inconvenient amount of luck. This site serves as a comprehensive resource for the IRW Aylhr, her missions, and her crew. Here you’ll find character profiles for both major and minor figures appearing in Aylhr stories. The Imperial Databank houses information on Rihannsu culture and the broader Romulan Star Empire. We use the NOVA play-by-post system for our writing, which you can find here: Aylhr NOVA. We hope these resources prove useful to visitors and writers alike.

Her crew is in charge of one of the most dangerous and lethal ships in the entire quadrant.

Recognizing the move as an attempt by the Zorek clan to expand its influence within the Galae, she overrides the objections and appoints Riov Rhae'go tr'Neyl to command the warbird.

Under the current regime, stability has returned to the Star Empire for the past decade. Yet beneath the shadows of Empire, internal forces seeking power are slowly brooding, hoping to erode the political dominance of the vast AAnikh coalition. Further from home the suspicious death of a powerful Senator on the planet of Eternity adds to the concern within the great political bodies. How long will these forces remain in the shadows and when will they act? Meanwhile, a young scion of the AAnikh clan secretly returns to Romulus to further his power abroad. Unbeknownst to him, his arrival has set off a chain of events that will leave the Empire changed forever. Interested in learning more? Check out UCIP's In-Character Archive!   Aylhr Characters Kemaran bIng 'aj NPCs (Non Player Characters) are a core of any simulation/RPG that wants to have a stable amount of depth. The Aylhr has a plethora of NPCs that interact with the crew on a daily basis (NPCs that are part of the crew). We also have NPCs that are geared towards developing situations and plots. I’ve split these NPCs into two groups: Major Characters who make several appearances and Minor Characters who only make short appearances at random intervals. Also, the Aylhr often has guests from other games in UCIP who participate for a short time as a plot-centric character. While they are not NPCs they are also not members of the Aylhr so they are listed under the Guest Category.

We also provide a live discord as a means of communication and you can just visit us in the #irw-aylhr room (though during the weekdays we usually don't appear until later in the afternoon pacific time). If you do join us for a live chat (awesome!) We do ask that you respect other members in the discord chat room.

Don't be worried! We have everything you need to make a character and developed their background on this site! Our Imperial Databank has a plethora of information on the Romulans of UCIP. A lot of our information hails from the wonderful novel series Rihannsu by Diane Duane. Other information comes from roleplaying game sources such as The Way of D'Era by Last Unicorn Games. Though, honestly, a bulk of the information you will find here was developed with care and love by many role-players over two decades. We'd love for you to weave your own creativity and stories into our universe. Interested in learning more? Check out the Imperial Databank
