Have you read Federation: The First 150 years? That might be what you're looking for.

Other dude that commeneted on here (/u/u83rmensch) had it right w/ suggesting Thinkgeek. At least 30% of the links I'll put below are from there. They've got very Trekkie-centric gifts. If you don't like my list, just go to Thinkgeek and search "Star Trek"

Or, consider my suggestions:

• First off, dump the pinball machine, the Klingon costume and the TOS comics. There's only a thin slice of the Trek fandom that could afford shit like that. And they know exactly what they're looking for and how to get it. A list site isn't going to help them find it.
  
  
• Add in one/some/any of the Eaglemoss Trek replicas. They're part of the a monthly subscription service that mails you an awesome replica of all sorts of different Trek ships from throughout the series, once every month. Or just buy the one you want off of eBay.
  
  
• Throw in a commbadge prop. Everybody loves those.
  
  
• For the canon fan, give 'em Federation: The First 150 years - the narrative-centric version of Star Trek's history
  
  
• For the production fan, give 'em Star Trek Vault: 40 years from the Archives, which stresses the functional and production and merchandising/marketing side of making Trek accessible to the media public.
  
  
• The TNG hoodies are awesome.
  
  
• Thinkgeek and co. had letter openers available, but fuck it. Get a real Bat'leth.
  
  
• This gets into the subjective/opinion/my-2-cents sphere of opinion, which can be dangerous ground for Trekkies...but I think that, if you want to suggest a pretty spot-on and really awesome Trek comic book, you should have a look at the Assimilation^2 2-pack. I loved it.
  
  This is, in my opinion, a sliiiiightly more Trekkie-suave set of gifts that would surprise and entertain a fan of the series. Not all Trekkies think alike, so I'd expect a few folks might disagree with some of my suggestions, but I feel like this better represents stuff Trekkies haven't already seen time and again in stores like FYE or Hot Topic (or simply cannot afford.)

> Outraged, Commander Charles Tucker III fakes his own death and teams up with Section 31

Thank you. I have been toying with this in my head; Tucker didn't die. He just made it look like that. Fuck Berman and Bragga, seriously.

On that note, the buildup to the Romulan War and the war itself has been covered in Federation: The First 150 Years. It's pretty good, but I don't know if it is canon.

But I like your stories also.

Probably this, but I mean, it's awesome. It talks and is Star Trek and it's just generally all things good.

I recommend this book. It covers the entire war. You can get it pretty cheap if you get just the book instead of with the display stand.
