The powerful inner council of the Romulan Star Empire, chaired by the Praetor, whose membership was the prize in a Section 31 scheme played out on Romulus in 2375.
The Continuing Committee is one of the highest bodies of the Romulan government. Chaired by the Praetor, it confirms senior appointments and can sit as a tribunal on matters of state security.
It appears in the Deep Space Nine episode Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges. During a conference on Romulus, Julian Bashir comes to believe that Section 31 intends to kill Koval, the chairman of the Tal Shiar, who is expected to take a vacant seat on the Committee. Bashir confides in Senator Cretak, and both are brought before the Committee under Praetor Neral.
The hearing ends with Cretak disgraced and Koval's position secured, which was the real aim: Koval is a Federation source, and Bashir had been manipulated by Sloan and Admiral Ross.
