Missions involved
“Taris”: In 2409, Federation players meet Tiaru Jarok in the Hobus System, where she transfers the R.R.W. Lleiset's Intelligence Officer, Lt. Gaius Selan, to their ship to assist in uncovering the truth behind the destruction of Romulus. She later brings the Lleiset to the Iconia System to retrieve Gaius when the mission is complete.
“Sphere of Influence”: Tiaru Jarok is part of the Romulan Republic's delegation sent to witness the activation of a recently-restored Iconian gateway. She later commands the Lleiset in combat against the Elachi at the Jouret System.
“A Step Between Stars”: The Lleiset under Commander Jarok assists Federation and Klingon players in the Jenolan Dyson Sphere against the Undine. After the immediate threat is over, Commander Jarok wants to claim the Jenolan Sphere for the Romulan Republic, provoking a verbal confrontation between the three powers.
“Republic Day”: The player visits the bridge of the Lleiset in orbit of New Romulus and meets with Tiaru Jarok and the rest of her crew.

She subsequently commands the Lleiset during the battle in Earth orbit.
