We go around to defend home.

Some critics of the leadership of Proconsul D'Tan

seized on Romulan Republic Forces being involved

in the Delta Expedition and the Delta Alliance

as yet another opportunity to defame his character

and insult his intelligence.  Such smear campaigns

have been common from the foes of freedom.

We have learned, however,

how prudent such actions were,

after uncovering the involvement

of the Ikonnsu in stirring up trouble

in the Delta Quadrant,

and finally experiencing

direct attacks by the Ikonnsu

and their minions

on our homeworlds

in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants.

We no longer live in the relative safety of the past.

A new age approaches rapidly.

The night has fallen,

and it has been a very dark night so far,

but dawn follows night,

if we resist the darkness

in all of its hidden crevices,

no matter how far from our homes

those crevices may be.

The Tal'Diann has been a part

of the Delta Alliance and the Delta Expedition.

We have been vigilant

in the defense of our homeworlds

and have built relationships with allies,

going to their aid and defense.

These relationships have not been one-sided,

for they have come

to our aid and defense as well.

Around the clock, we have stood guard

over our homes

and taken the fight to our enemies' very doorsteps.

We are the Tal'Diann,

and we will not be enslaved,

nor suffer the enslavement of our people.

With our final breaths,

we will spit defiance at our would-be overlords,

and take as many of them with us as we can.

We are the Tal'Diann.

Maybe you can be one of us.

Apply today

and stand against

the demons of air and darkness,

for all we hold dear back home.

We are

the Tal'Diann.
