cq2) the only romulan device i can think of there ever being, would be the cloaking device, stolen by kirk, not sure how you could make that legendary. Unless you make a console that gives bonus’.
Wonderful job everyone.

Where do YOU think Prime Lorca is? Do you want to see him in future Trek?
So, according to STO’s own DISCO missions, Prime Lorca was last seen aboard the Buran, when it was attacked by the Klingons over Prior’s World, an ion storm hit, transporter shenanigans…and Mirror Lorca ended up in the escape pod, right?
– There are several possibilities then for the fate of Prime Lorca. The first is that Mirror Lorca beamed aboard the Buran, killed his counterpart, and destroyed the ship and crew to cover his tracks. No more Prime Lorca in that one. 🙁
– The second is that when Mirror Lorca beamed aboard, Prime Lorca was also somehow transported to the Mirror Universe, à la the original “Mirror, Mirror”, where he either ended up in that reality’s Buran, which was blown up by Emperor Georgiou and the I.S.S. Charon over their Prior’s World (he DED),…or he ALSO ended up in an escape pod, which was likely picked up by the Terrans, who probably killed him (he DED again).
– OR perhaps he somehow ended up on the Mirror Prior’s World or one of its empty moons, where he DIDN’T freeze to death or starve, eluded capture by the Terrans and the Emperor overhead, made his way out by doing…something…and is living out his days in the shadow of a totalitarian interstellar empire, all while ‘Hangry Kirk’ and ‘Goatee Spock’ are twiddling their thumbs somewhere wondering when is their turn to vaporize s#!t.
So if the DISCO/Strange New Worlds/’Section 31’/whichever show folks can somehow figure out something from that mess,…sure, Prime Lorca can come back to Trek. 😀
What object in Romulan lore do you think could be a “Legendary” Item?
The only “Legendary” Romulan thing that I can think of is the Sword of the Raptor Star, which is an item already in STO and found during the Romulan player story arc. I’d assume that the player version would just be a copy, just like every Klingon player (and their gagh-eating friends) get a replica of the Sword of Kahless. But the Romulan sword currently just looks like a rusty old sword, unless the devs decide to change its design, maybe to let a certain Starfleet captain live out his “Three Musketeers” fantasies. (No, not that one, THAT one.)

Regarding Prime Lorca:
The Mirror Gabriel Lorca we saw in Disco Season 1 arrived in our universe in an accident involving an ion storm. When we saw this happen previously, in TOS, it involved a switch with counterparts in our universe. Therefore, I think the Prime Buran ended up in the Mirror Universe. As much as I’d love to see Prime Lorca on the Discovery (and all the interesting dynamics that would entail), the Discovery is now far in the future. Sounds like Section 31 and Philippa Georgiou will have to mount a rescue attempt and bring Captain Lorca and any surviving crew of the Buran back home!
(P.S. – This theory means that Lorca sacrificed HIS crew when he destroyed the Buran, not a Starfleet crew (probably so none of them could reveal his secret and nobody could realize the Buran wasn’t Starfleet). What a guy!)
