Shrike class

The Shrike class was a type of Romulan Star Empire starship in operation in the late 24th century.

They were small agile destroyer vessels that were a favoured craft of the Romulan intelligence service; the Tal Shiar. They were created for speed and stealth rather then attack capability that would be seen in 'Bird-of-Prey' designs. As such, they were outfitted with a Cloaking device allowing the ship to ferry Romulan agents into enemy space without being detected. It was further enhanced by a special transporter that would allow a successful transport to commence without lowering the cloak of the ship. These agents would then tap into the communication grid of enemy ships to uncover the location of all enemy forces.

Finally, they were armed with a twin pair of Plasma cannons to protect itself in combat or to use in raiding operations.
