Romulan bird-of-prey (22nd century)
Affiliation:	Romulan Star Empire, Romulan Imperial Fleet
Type:	bird-of-prey
Service period	22nd century

The Romulan bird-of-prey was a type of Romulan Star Empire starship, a bird-of-prey in Imperial Fleet service in the 22nd century. These vessels were most notably in service as combatant vessels during the Earth-Romulan War.

History

This bird-of-prey was the class of ship present at Humanity's first contact with the Romulan Star Empire in the year 2152 when two of the ships patrolling space near a planet and minefield in the Empire warned the Earth starship Enterprise out of the Romulans' space. (ENT episode: "Minefield")

Features

The bird-of-prey was superior to an Earth NX-class starship, although Starfleet took measures to match the combat capabilities when they built the Daedalus. These birds-of-prey were warp-capable and fitted with energy weaponry. Although vessels of this class were used as testbeds for early Romulan cloaking devices, after the ship Praetor Pontilus was destroyed by antimatter-containment failure in its test stealth systems the Romulans did not develop a successful cloaking system for decades. (ENT episode: "Minefield"; ENT novel: The Good That Men Do)
