Ele era pelo menos um conspirador
In that year, he was involved in a conspiracy to sabotage peace talks between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. While in a meeting with the Federation President after the arrest of James Kirk and Leonard McCoy, Nanclus lent his support to "Operation Retrieve," the proposal to infiltrate Klingon space and rescue the hostages, put forth by Nanclus' fellow conspirator, Colonel West. Later, Nanclus attended the Khitomer Conference. After the crew of the USS Enterprise-A learned of his involvement in the conspiracy, and successfully prevented the assassination of the Federation President at the conference, he was detained by Starfleet.

Em qualquer lugar que você olha na Memória Alfa todos eles dizem que ele era um co-conspirador para minar as negociações de paz, então se ele estava ou não envolvido no resto do que estava acontecendo, eu tenho certeza que ele estava no mínimo tentando minar as negociações de paz e isso deu-lhe algumas munições
David A. McIntee uma vez propôs que ele poderia ter sido o iniciador da conspiração em um artigo da Star Trek Magazine
Obviamente, os Romulanos não queriam que os Klingons e a Federação se unissem, porque os Romulanos não poderiam dominá-los em conjunto, o que significa que os Romulanos nunca poderiam expandir-se para o espaço da Federação ou Klingon.Author David A. McIntee once proposed that Nanclus was actually the initiator of the conspiracy, having secretly put the idea that the Federation were the true threat to the Klingon Empire into General Chang's mind, due to Romulan concerns that the Klingons and Federation were about to form a pact. McIntee went on to characterize Nanclus as "almost certainly the true villain of the movie, and probably the most forgotten of the Trek villains." (Star Trek Magazine issue 149, p. 64)
