Nortal

Centurion Nortal was the tactical officer of the Romulan scout ship Tyvek. She was the child of a Romulan senator, but this did not help get the Tyvek good assignments. While exploring the Delta Quadrant, the Tyvek was lost to the Lucinda entity, but Nortal and the other officers were able to escape to a nearby habitable planet. They were nearly eaten by a family of the planet's inhabitants but were rescued by the USS Anomaly. After the Anomaly dealt with Lucinda, Romulan High Command insisted that Nortal and the other Tyvek officers stay aboard, so the Romulans would be more involved in the Anomaly's day-to-day operations. Nortal served as one of the Anomaly's tac-ops officers. (Bold Faced Lies [BG])

Nortal accompanied Captain Reginald Bain, Lieutenant Commander Tovar, and Commander Prosak to Vulcan in the USS Navigator in an attempt to get to High Chancellor Sh’rak. Sh'rak knew they were coming, and the team only avoided being killed because of a timely intervention by Rosalyn Bain. Rosalyn wiped Bain, Prosak, and Nortal's minds of the incident and had Tovar get them out of Sh'rak's office. Outside, they were stopped by several armed Vulcans. Before they could call for beam out, they saw the Navigator crash into a mountain in the distance. They were rescued from capture by Sh'rak's guards by LOL, which beamed the away team, minus Prosak, up to their ship. While Bain returned to the Neutral Zone to take command of the Federation fleet, Nortal and Tovar remained behind with LOL to try to stop Sh'rak and rescue Prosak.

While shopping at an open-air market on Romulus, Nortal with given what appeared to be a green gem by a mysterious man who told her that it was a gift in honor of her efforts to free Romulus from the Vulcans. In actuality, the gem contained a creature designed to rip through metal and remain invisible to sensors. It hatched and grew to three meters tall, at which point it viciously attacked Nortal. She survived and was beamed to sickbay by Dr. Fred Nooney. (What A Ripper! [BG])
