Tactical Romance Protocols
Tactical Romance Protocols (TRP) are standardized courtship procedures developed in 2154 for optimizing romantic encounters in high-stress or combat-oriented dating scenarios. Originally designed for military personnel, these protocols have gained widespread civilian adoption through Combat Dating services and Aggressive Matchmaking programs.
