The Great Brothers were deities that featured in Romulan beliefs who were known as the "D'ravsai"' in their native language. According to their religion, the Romulans were not native to their homeworld but rather transplanted to it by a race of god-like super beings that brought their ancestors to that world. These early savage Romulans were given a task by these alien entities to build a Road to the Stars so that they might one day join their "Great Brothers". These entities may have been the Preservers or Sargon's people or possibly the Vhorani in ancient Vulcan myths.
