Praetor was a political and military title used by various species.
The Romulan Star Empire's head of government was known as the Praetor (Rihannsu: Fvillha, lit. "landsmaster"). (TOS: "Balance of Power") While he was technically below the Emperor and the Imperial Legate, the Praetor is the actual power, acting as a prime minister. He was protected by the Tal Prai'ex and elected internally by the Romulan Senate, over which he presides. (TOS video game: Starfleet Command (game))
