The Talon was designed to be the eyes and ears of the
Romulan Armada. Its superior speed and maneuverability
allows it to recon an area of space before the
fleet moves in. This ship is armed with a single forward
firing plasma cannon. Talon-class vessels are also
equipped with cloaking devices, allowing them to move
through space undetected.
- Special Weapon: Tachyon Detection Grid
Talon-class vessels can be
upgraded to use a Tachyon Detection grid. This
modification to their sensor array allows them to
detect other cloaked ships within their sensor range.

The Shrike class is a favorite of the Tal Shiar, the
Romulan Intelligence Agency, for its stealth and
speed. It also is outfitted with a cloaking device,
allowing Tal Shiar operatives to conduct covert operations
in unsanctioned areas of space. Shrike class vessels
are equipped with two forward firing plasma cannons.
- Special Weapon: Romulan Spy
The Shrike can be modified to accommodate
a Romulan Spy on board. The Shrike has been
specially designed with unique transporters, allowing
it to transfer the Romulan Spy onto enemy vessels
without lowering its shields or decloaking. If successfully
transported onto an enemy ship, the
Romulan Spy accesses the enemy’s sensors, giving
the player line-of-sight on a targeted enemy ship or
station. If the Romulan Spy is able to get on board
an enemy Starbase, it can access that opponent’s
entire communications network, allowing full line-of-sight
on all enemy vessels and stations. |

The Raptor is equipped with the same Tri-Cobalt torpedoes
as the Federation Steamrunner cruiser.
Starfleet is still unsure how the Romulans were able
to duplicate the technology, but it is suspected that
Romulan Tal Shiar operatives infiltrated Starfleet
Corps of Engineers and stole the plans for the
weapon. The Raptor is also equipped with a cloaking
device, allowing it to move unseen through enemy territory
before unloading its barrage of torpedoes.
- Special Weapon: Myotronic Inhibitor
To prevent the Raptor from
being destroyed before it can unleash its attack, all
Raptors can be outfitted with a Myotronic Inhibitor.
This torpedo temporarily disables the weapons system
on an enemy vessel, rendering them ineffective in combat. |

|
 |
The Griffin was designed to compliment the Romulan
fleet by confusing and disabling the enemy. Its reinforced
shielding and ample crew allow it to be a formidable
opponent in combat. All Griffons are armed with powerful
phasers, as well as cloaking devices.
- Special Weapon: Sensor Jammer
Griffins can also be outfitted with a
Sensor Jammer. The Sensor jammer unleashes a subspace
wave disabling all enemy ships’ sensors in its
wake.

The Tal Shiar, having need of a vessel more suited for
their covert operations, assembled the greatest military
scientists in the Star Empire. The culmination of their
efforts resulted in the Shadow-class. The technology
on board the Shadow is extremely classified, so much
so that even members of the Romulan Senate are not
"officially" aware of its existence. The Shadow comes
equipped with phasers, but can also be refitted with
four experimental technologies.
Special Weapons:
- Holo-emitter
The Shadow is equipped with a unique
deflector dish able to project holograms. When outfitted
with a Holo-emitter, the projection manipulates
enemy sensors by reversing their warp signatures and
appearance. To opponents, all their ships appear as
enemy vessels. This causes affected ships to inadvertently
target their allies.
- Psychonic Blast
The Shadow’s deflector dish can
also be rigged to emit a sub-space blast of radiation
known as the Psychonic Blast. This causes an enemy’s
crew to temporarily go insane, killing members of
their own crew.
- Energy-Shield Converter
A modification to the
Inversion beam, this Converter redistributes the
Shadow's energy into shield energy, then transfers it
to an allied ship.
- Phase Cloak
Development of this technology began
as early as 2367, but was not completed until
recently. The Shadow is the first of its kind to carry
a functional Interphase Generator. When activated,
the Generator phases the ship’s molecular structure,
allowing it to move unseen through physical objects. |

The Romulan Warbird, designated the D’deridex
class, is a massive spaceship and the flagship of the
Romulan Fleet. The Warbird is equipped with a cloaking
device, as well as plasma torpedoes and phasers. The
combination of offensive strength, manueverablity,
and stealth make the Warbird a deadly predator and
an invaluable asset to the Romulan fleet.
- Special Weapon: Shield Inversion Beam
The Warbird can be modified
to fire a Shield Inversion Beam. This beam drains an
enemy’s shields directly from the ship and transfers
them to the Warbird's. |

The Phoenix was originally developed by the Star
Empire as a last resort, should the Romulan Empire
fall to invaders. Its potential effect is so devastating,
it requires a special shipyard for its construction.
Because of the intense burden Phoenix-class captain must bear, the Tal Shiar has been known to use
unorthodox "conditioning" techniques in their training.
These techniques ensure the loyalty and commitment
of Phoenix captains to the Star Empire.
- Special Weapon: Spatial Rift
When the Phoenix activates its only
weapon, it creates an expanding tear in the space-time
contiuum that does massive damage to any ship or station
within its range. The ship and its crew are destroyed
in the resulting explosion. |

 |
The Romulan Dilithium Freighter mines resources from
Dilithium moons and transports it to Mining stations.
The Freighters are rigged with a special Mining beam,
allowing them to transport the ore directly into its
cargo bays. Though Freighters have no weapons, their
heavy shielding allows them to withstand considerable
damage in combat. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
The Romulan Construction ship is loaded with a team
of Workers in its cargo bay. When constructing a station,
these one-man engineering shuttlecraft are deployed
from the Construction vessel. While the construction
ship transports the raw materials, the worker bees
assemble the areas with wielding lasers.
Construction vessels are also equipped with a Towing
Beam, allowing them to tow derelicts and vessels with
their engines disabled. |

The Romulan Starbase monitors all activity for the
Romulan fleet in a sector of space. Once a Starbase
is operational, crew begins to be transported into a
player’s crew pool at a steady rate. Building additional
starbases or building a starbase by a planet can
increase this rate. The Starbase can also be upgraded
with up to six Centurion Quarters, increasing the
total number of the player’s Centurion pool. The station
itself can build Construction Ships and Freighters,
the basic units for establishing an outpost in an
area. Once a Starbase is constructed, Mining
Stations, Plasma Cannon, Spy Satellites, Shipyards
and Research Stations can be built. The Romulan
Starbase is armed with an array of disruptor pulse
cannons for defense. |

The Romulan Mining Facility is necessary for harvesting
and processing Dilithium, an essential resource in the
construction of ships and stations. The facility comes
with a freighter, which begins mining the nearest dilithium moon as soon as the Mining Facility is operational.
Once the freighter is full of dilithium, it
returns to the mining Facility to process the dilithium.
Processed dilithium is added to the player’s Dilithium
account, where it can be used to build stations and
ships. Once a Mining Facility is constructed, additional
freighters can be built at the Starbase. |

 |
The Plasma Cannon is a small, unmanned defensive
platform. It provides support for Romulan outposts
by firing cannons at all enemy vessels within its
range. A player must possess a Starbase in order to
build a Plasma Cannon. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
The Romulan Spy Satellite is an unmanned, small
satellite that provides a player with line-of-sight in a
radius around it. The satellite can be modified to use
a Tachyon Detection Grid to locate cloaked ships if
developed at the research station. A player must
possess a Starbase in order to build a Spy Satellite. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
The Romulan Shipyard has two bays, one for construction
and one for repair, allowing it to construct
and repair one ship at a time. The Romulan
shipyard can build the Talon, Shrike, Griffon and
Raptor-class ships. A player must possess a Starbase
in order to build a Shipyard. Once a Shipyard is built,
Plasma Torpedo Turrets can be constructed. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
The Romulan Torpedo turret is a larger, unmanned
defensive platform. It provides support for Romulan
outposts by firing plasma torpedoes at all enemy vessels
within its range. A player must possess a
Starbase and a Shipyard in order to build a Torpedo
Turret. |

|
|
ROMULAN COVERT-OPS FACILITY |
|
 |
The Romulan Covert Ops. Facility allows the player
to upgrade the Talon, Shrike, Raptor, Griffin and
Warbird-class, each with their own special weapon.
When each new ship’s technology is researched, a new
pod is built onto the Ops. Facility. Though they are
attached to the Facility, each pods has its own
shields and can be targeted independently from the
main structure. If the Research Facility is destroyed,
all pods on the facility are destroyed with it. A player
must possess a Starbase in order to build a
Covert Ops. Facility. The Romulan Covert Ops. Facility
can build the following pods:
- Tachyon Detection Grid -- Talon-class
- Romulan Spy -- Shrike-class
- Myotronic Inhibitor -- Raptor-class
- Sensor Jammer -- Griffin-class
- Shield Inversion Beam -- Warbird-class
|
|
ROMULAN ADVANCED SHIPYARD |
|
 |
The Romulan Advanced Shipyard has two bays, one
for repair and one for construction, like its smaller
counterpart. The Advanced Shipyard can build
Warbird and Shadow Class vessels. A player must
possess a Shipyard and Covert Research Facility in
order to build an Advanced Shipyard. |
| |
|
|
|
 |
The Tal Shiar, a secret Romulan Intelligence Agency
have created a facility to modify the Shadow-class
with up to four different classified special weapons.
When each new technology is researched, a new pod
is built onto the Facility. Though they are attached to
the Facility, each pods has its own shields and can be
targeted independently from the main structure. If
the Tal Shiar Facility is destroyed, all pods on the
facility are destroyed with it. A player must possess a
Shipyard and a Covert Ops. Facility in order to build
a Tal Shiar Facility. Once this Facility Tech is constructed,
Shadow-class vessels can be built. The Romulan Tal
Shiar facility can build the following pods:
- Holo-emitter -- Shadow-class
- Psychonic Blast -- Shadow-class
- Energy-Shield Converter -- Shadow-class
- Phase Cloak -- Shadow-class
|

The Phoenix facility constructs the Phoenix-class
vessel. The Phoenix is armed with a
Spacial Rift Creator, a weapon that creates an
expanding tear in the space-time continuum doing massive
damage to any ship or station within its range.
The ship and its crew are destroyed in the resulting
explosion. A player must possess an Advanced
Shipyard and Tal Shair Facility in order to build a
Phoenix Facility. Once a Phoenix Facility is operational,
Phoenix-class vessels can be built. |
