Praetor Neral
by Kim and Allen Gould (tribble@oanet.com)

Giving the Romulans a boost in Holodeck Adventures is a new version of the Neral persona. The original support personnel is hardly a fitting way to show a leader of the Romulan Empire, is it?

Neral has kept his V.I.P. status and his Treacherous nature, but has added quite a few new skills over the years. Biology isn't the most common skill in the Romulan affiliation, and his Leadership x2 will come in handy for things such as Friendly Fire. A smattering of Diplomacy doesn't hurt either.

Most interesting is his special skill – all your Tal Shiar personnel in play gain SECURITY. Combined with his ability to report for free at the Continuing Committee (as well as all those Tal Shiar), he's a fantastic addition to a Romulan POTS deck. And while they're all gaining the same skill, SECURITY is great to have in multiples, for anything from Kazon Bomb to Beserk Changeling and Komar Possession. And it might not be a bad idea to check out Extradition again – with all those Tal Shiar, you won't have a problem finding SECURITY to beam across. Flaxian Assassin is both easier to pass, what with Neral's Biology and all, but nastier for your opponent, killing two personnel instead of one.

Combo:

Praetor Neral + Continuing Committee + HQ: War Room: All your Tal Shiar play for free and get attribute enhancements.
