Vreenak. (Stephen McHattie). Romulan senator, elected in 2360. Vreenak was secretary of the War Plans Council and vice chairman of the Tal Shiar and was also one of Proconsul Neral's most trusted advisors. Vreenak negotiated a nonaggression pact with the Dominion in 2373 and was one of the most ardently pro-Dominion voices in the senate. In 2374, while returning home from a meeting with the Dominion on Soukara, Senator Vreenak's Romulan shuttle was destroyed by a bomb. Investigating the incident, the Tal Shiar concluded that Vreenak had been assassinated by Dominion agents seeking to destroy evidence of an impending Dominion invasion of Romulan territory. The Romulan government subsequently abrogated the nonaggression treaty, entering the war against the Dominion. SEE: Tolar, Grathon. (“In the Pale Moonlight” [DS9]).
