I do like Tal Stonewall don,t get me wrong. D'era is an actual Romulan word. Just my opinion.

No word for "centurions" in Romulan that we know of--but "legionnaires" is close: rei'karanha--maybe that plus a translation for Stonewall. (Romulan is going to be a bit unwieldy no matter how we slice it.)

Centurion is "arrain"
My phone keeps trying to translate the words from Welsh. Makes sense considering Romulan is based off the Celtic language famly

Really? Cool! So the plural just adds an "a", right? arraina? Jorreh'honn Arraina or something like that?

As I said in the embassy I think we should tie our name to the Roman Republic convention as opposed to the Roman Empire as we're going to be a Republic...at least for now ::crosses fingers for a restored and glorious Roman...uh Romulan Empire::

I like the idea, but I didn't think we are part of new Romulus

I'm pretty sure we will be part of the Republic under D'tan and not the Imperial or Tal'shiar remnants under Sela. At least that's what I gleaned from the mini site.

Closest word to republic I could find is aetheaa (assembly of people)
Jorreh'honn Aetheaa
Nhaih'honn Aetheaa

I was ready to suggest something related to 'Mnhei’Sahe'* but it's awkward to type and probably difficult to pronounce, and not to get all RP on the issue (but I'd love to) we need our context to make the right choice. Perhaps a home-grown backstory that incorporates the history without requiring us to conform to the quite awful parts of the canon culture imperatives? (Really Star Trek can oversimplify to the point of racism. All s have characteristic.)

Absent any major storytelling on our part, Tal D'era is pithy and succinct.

Personally i would prefer if the fleet name had neither Empire or Republic in it.
Empire is inaccurate (curse you Abrams) and Republic sticks in my craw.
