The secret the Zhat Vash kill to protect could be that the Romulans are responsible for the creation of the Borg. Since their introduction into Star Trek, the Borg have been a plague, easily seen by all sentient races as the greatest threat to their continued existence.
Legend holds that the basis of Romulans' fixation on deception and the hiding of secrets is the unusually high proportion of mimetic (camouflage-using) native animals and plants that the first settlers of Romulus found on arrival, snakes that look like flowering vines, flowers like lizards, mammals that alter their ...

The foremothers then founded the Zhat Vash with the mission to stop synthetic life at any cost. The Zhat Vash wiped the octonary star system from all Romulan star charts to preserve its secrets but, over the centuries, future members of the Zhat Vash ritually traveled to Aia and endure the Admonition.
In flashbacks, Picard was shown assuring the Romulans that they would do everything they could. So when he never returned and never followed through on his promises, they felt betrayed and abandoned by Picard. In a way, the hatred directed at Picard is justified.

After Soji caught and destroyed Narek's grenade, the synthetics overwhelmed La Sirena's crew. The Romulan secret agent was last seen being dragged away by Soji's brothers and sisters, pleading in vain for her to listen to him - something Soji won't do again after he tortured and tried to kill her aboard the Artifact.
They are descendants of a dissident group of Vulcans who had left Vulcan thousands of years ago. For many years the Romulans were hostile towards the Federation, having never truly been defeated nor allied, though they did join forces with them in the war against the Dominion.
The headgear comes off one of the dead goons and Picard sees that they are Romulans. Unfortunately, one of the wounded Romulans spits some weird, green "Alien"-acid-for-blood stuff that hits Dahj and the disruptor rifle she's holding, causing it to overload and explode. (Who knew Romulan stomach acid was so dangerous?)
Yar's half-Romulan daughter Sela explains in "Redemption" that several members of the Enterprise-C crew were captured by the Romulans when it returned through the rift, including Yar.

This makes Human/Vulcan or Human/Romulan mix canon, but only if the parents had genetic assistance. The exception would be Klingon/Romulan, which is a canon hybrid (ask Paramount how that was able to take place). Some sentient hybrids include: Cardassian/Bajoran.
In the Star Trek episode “Balance of Terror”, why did Spock say that nobody knew what the Romulans looked like ? Because no one did know what the Romulans looked like. They took off in the days before the Vulcans had warp drive, and then no one ever heard of them again (well, until the obvious anyway.)

Yar's death in the episode was the result of Crosby's request to be released from her contract. (Episodes were filmed out of order; the last first-season Yar episode filmed was "Symbiosis", which in first-run syndication immediately preceded "Skin of Evil".)

Sirol was portrayed by actor and intern writer Michael Mack. The role was originally conceived as a female role, but after Mack approached Jeri Taylor, she agreed that there was no reason why the character had to be a female, but added that up to that point, Star Trek had never had a black Romulan before.
