Letant

Romulan senator at the Chin'toka planning talks

A Romulan senator who represents his government in the allied strategy talks on Deep Space 9 in 2374 before the invasion of the Chin'toka system.

Senator Letant appears in the Deep Space Nine episode Tears of the Prophets. With the Romulans newly in the war, he comes to the station to sit beside Admiral Ross, General Martok and Captain Sisko as the allies decide whether to move from defence to attack.
Letant is urbane and sardonic, and he enjoys needling Martok. He begins by doubting the wisdom of an offensive, arguing that the Dominion is best left to exhaust itself, but he is talked round to the plan to strike at Chin'toka.
He then commits Romulan ships to the fleet that Sisko leads into Cardassian space, the first invasion of Dominion-held territory by the three powers together.
