Star Trek's Romulans have the same psychic powers as the Vulcans - they just don't know it. In a prequel to the 2009 Star Trek movie, Nero experiments with psychotropic drugs, discovering how to reactivate Romulan telepathy.

Star Trek’s Romulans are psychic, but cultural barriers mean they've never enhanced their full potential... yet. The Romulans have been a perpetual thorn in the side of the United Federation of Planets. Usually portrayed as deceitful and manipulative, the Romulans are to be feared - yet they possess abilities unknown to even them. In Star Trek: Nero #2, the titular villain discovers that they, like their Vulcan cousins, possess telepathic abilities.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Introduced in the first season of the classic Star Trek, the Romulans have gone on to become one of the franchise’s most iconic races. When the Vulcan people began embracing Surak’s philosophy of logic, a group that disagreed broke away, embarking for a new star system. Over time, these Vulcan dissidents became the Romulans.

Nero Discovered Romulan Telepathy Star Trek: Nero #2 is written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones from a story by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and drawn by David Messina. Shortly after attacking the USS Kelvin, Nero and his ship are intercepted by a squadron of Klingons, who haul him and his crew to Rura Penthe, a prison moon. Over the next two decades, they torture Nero, attempting to pry from him the secrets of his ship the Narada.

Fortunately for the galaxy, however, the Romulans have not pursued this avenue... at least as far as fans know. Romulan society has secretive aspects hidden from the galaxy, and so it's possible they do have psychics, but have successfully hidden this fact. Thankfully, Nero only made this discovery under extreme circumstances, which means the Star Trek galaxy could feasibly escape the threat of Romulan telepathy, purely because they don't know they have it.
