N'Vek arms Troi for her first test

Deanna Troi wears the Romulan officer uniform of Major Rakal, a disguise that marks her as an elite member of the Tal Shiar.

N'Vek arms Troi for her cover

The Tal Shiar uniform, brighter and more ornate than standard Romulan attire, is the physical manifestation of Troi’s false identity. N’Vek adjusts the fit hastily, ensuring the insignia on her shoulder is visible and the fabric lies correctly. The uniform is not just a costume—it is a symbol of authority and fear, a shield Troi must wield to command respect (and obedience) from Toreth and the crew. Its presence underscores the power dynamics at play: without it, she would be exposed as an impostor in seconds.

Before: Draped over Troi’s body, slightly ill-fitting and unadjusted.

After: Properly fitted and straightened, the insignia prominently displayed, ready for Troi’s performance on the bridge.
