Romulan Bird-of-Prey (2150s)
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
The Romulan Bird-of-Prey was a type of Romulan starship in service in the mid-22nd century, most notably during the Earth-Romulan War. Unlike the common type of bird-of-prey in use during this period, this type of bird-of-prey was cylindrical in shape, and had two cigar-shaped warp nacelles attached aft of amidships on either side of the hull.
Like most types of Romulan vessels, these bird-of-prey's displayed the blue-green device of a winged predator on the underbelly of its hull. In 2159, Starfleet was able to gain an image of one of these types of bird-of-prey. This image was later displayed by James T. Kirk during a Federation History class at Starfleet Academy in 2251. (TOS novel: My Brother's Keeper: "Republic")
- The novel suggests that the vessel operated on mere impulse power and used atomic weapons, which is contradicted by the use of warp drive by Romulan vessels of this era during Star Trek: Enterprise.
