In the first episode of Star Trek: Picard the character Dahj is attacked for a second time. During the fight it is revealed that the attackers are Romulan. Dahj fights off all the attackers, but one of them, obviously wounded, spits a green substance on Dahj and a gun she is holding. The green substance appears to be blood. It burns into Dahj's skin and also causes a (plasma?) gun she is holding to explode, killing her.

The only other green substance I know of that corrodes materials like that is the blood of the Xenomorphs from the Alien universe. Is there a connection? Coincidence? In this day and age?

I know Romulans are related to the Vulcan people. What color is their blood.

And if it was not blood but some type of bio-weapon, how could the Romulan attacker spit it without himself getting wounded?

    I'm pretty sure that the Star Trek universe(s) is/are full enough that they don't have to cross over into the Alien franchise.

    @Jeeped there has been a Star Trek / X-Men crossover - so I wouldn't rule anything out

    In resonse to your 4th question, at least one source has looked at the frame-by-frame close enough that 'If you watch the scene, however, you can see that the acid actually reacts with his own skin just as his target.'.

    No, Romulans are evolved ant-lion workers. Star Trek is in the Half-Life universe. The Computer is GlaDOS evolved. Or to be more precise, the entire experience of 24th century humans is a simulation to occupy their higher brains. Their lower brains are testing. For Science. Jan 31, 2020 at 17:30

    The assassin bites an "Acid capsule" hidden as a fake tooth. You can see that the acid starts dissolving him before dahj corrodes. It's a last resort suicidal attack.

No.

Xenomorphs are part of a fictional universe created by Ridley Scott and Dan O'Bannon, and expanded upon by countless other authors.

Romulans are part of a fictional universe created by Gene Roddenberry, and expanded upon by many authors, directors and screen writers.

There is no cross-over between these universes in canon.
