My favourite non-Fed species has always been Romulans (barring the Borg), so I wanted to do something which captures their most prominent trait, treachory.

Pretty good! I like how the Image has a green hue to it.

Is the warbird cloaking? I like how the station is on fire

Hey, do you think you could tell us how you did the text effects on the main title text? Cause i am really crappy when it comes to text and need some pointers.

The best thing I can recommend is experimenting with the blending options. I usually don't know the look I want until I see it, so I just try out a few different fonts, pick one I want and then try a whole load of combinations in the blending options.
With this title it was a mixture of: Inner Shadow, Bevel & Emboss, with added contours and (believe it or not) the "bubble" texture, a slight colour overlay to give the green effect (overlayed and somewhat opaque so it stays in the middle), a gradient to both give the light to dark look, but also to keep the overlayed green in the middle, and finally a thin stroke outline of grey, so the text doesn't disappear entirely into the black.
