Falchion class

The warbird was a class of dreadnought fielded by the Romulan Republican Force in the early 25th century. 

History
In 2409 several Romulan Republic Falchion-class vessels were captured by the Tholian Assembly and taken to bases in the Azure Nebula. Allied forces effected a rescue. 

Several other Falchion-class warbirds were assigned to Dyson Joint Command to perform various patrol duties in the Solanae Dyson sphere. ( [Season 8])

Technical data
The Falchion-class was a sister design of the warbird, both of which were variants of the infamous. The Falchion-class was more defensively oriented than its relatives and was fitted with redundant deflector shield systems and larger Bussard collectors. It possessed a standard Romulan cloaking device, and could be fitted with a thalaron generator, though this was not standard equipment.

Like its sister designs the Falchion-class was also a carrier and could deploy fighters or telepresence drone ships to aid it in battle. 

Background
Of the three types of dreadnought warbird appearing in Star Trek Online the Falchion-class is the only one to appear in the hands of Republic NPCs. The RRF flagship initially appeared as a Falchion-class in "Sphere of Influence", and though she was later retconned to be a Tulwar-class by "" her NPC version retains the abilities of the Falchion-class.
