The IRW Eletrix was a Romulan Mogai-class warbird of the Romulan Imperial Fleet in the 24th century. The Eletrix was under the command of Commander Orventa T'Jul.
In 2383, the ship was tasked by Sela, chair of the Tal Shiar, with transporting stolen Dominion technology acquired by the Breen freighter Ren Fejin from the Gamma Quadrant -- without the knowledge or approval of the Romulan government. At that time, the Eletrix was on a joint Federation/Romulan mission of exploration with the Federation flagship USS Enterprise-E. The joint mission had been proposed in good faith by Praetor Gell Kamemor, but was used by the Tal Shiar to plant its agents in the Gamma Quadrant. The crew of the Eletrix later faked her destruction in order to get away from the Enterprise.
The Eletrix then rescued the Ren Fejin, took the stolen technology, cloaked, and followed the Ren Fejin through the wormhole. Upon reaching the other side, the cloaked Eletrix was detected by the USS Defiant. Upon being detected, the Eletrix fired upon the Defiant, starting the battle that would later see to the destruction of Starbase Deep Space 9. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Plagues of Night)
Toward the end of the battle, when the Eletrix was disabled, Commander T'Jul ordered the ship's self destruction, preventing her from being captured. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Raise the Dawn)
