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. If the Aylhr interests you, we’re always looking for great writers. Visit our join page and apply today!

Aylhr Crew

The IRW Aylhr

The Aylhr has a crew complement of around 1,250 personnel that comes from every corner of the vast Star Empire. The crew is a family- house titles and clan prestige mean nothing when one is thrust before an enemy. With her vast array of advanced weaponry and new technology, the Aylhr is a monster. Her crew is in charge of one of the most dangerous and lethal ships in the entire quadrant.

Coil of Darkness

With the construction of the new IRW Aylhr nearing completion, Galae'EnRiov Shiarrael t'Rehu visits the Jezerek shipyards to tour the vessel. During her inspection, she uncovers a conspiracy within elements of the Galae command staff to block a particular officer from consideration as Aylhr’s commander—the son of the disgraced former Galae'EnRiov Ameh'ha t'Neyl. 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.

Meanwhile, on the neutral zone world of Eternity, Zorek Senator Chavek tr'Parneas is murdered while visiting the war graves of his sons. The news is quietly suppressed pending further investigation. Suspecting a wider plot, Fifth Fleet commander Khre'Riov Raha t'Nanclus discreetly dispatches the newly commissioned IRW Aylhr and her crew to uncover the truth.

Current Universe Storyline

Praetor Arrenhe t'Ahaefvthe

It has been fifteen years since the Romulan x Klingon conflict. 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.

Aylhr Characters

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.

Game Resources

We have provided a plethora of resources from open archives (we're not scared to keep our email lists open so people can see our quality- if a game keeps theirs private...run!) 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.

Imperial Databank

Interested in playing but not sure what it means to be a Rihannsu (Romulan)? 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.
