Romulan bird-of-prey (2150s)

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.
