IRW Dabhae

The IRW Dabhae was a Romulan warbird that served as the flagship of the Romulan 5th Legion in the mid-22nd century, as well as the flagship of Admiral Valdore during the Earth-Romulan War.

On May 18, 2157, the Dabhae rendezvoused with the to transfer the prisoner Charles Tucker III (disguised as the Vulcan Sodok) over to the Dabhae. This order was rescinded by Admiral Valdore who decided instead for Tucker to be placed in the hands of Colonel T'Luadh of the Tal Shiar and have them search for the Ejhoi Ormiin.

On April 19, 2160, the Dabhae rescued Tucker and T'Luadh in the Carraya sector by transporting them from their scoutship Kilhra'en while it was experiencing time dilation en route to Carraya IV, an abandoned Ejhoi Ormiin base. The Kilhra'en was then placed in the warbird's hold for repairs, and Tucker was taken prisoner again with the exception of working on the seven avaihh lli vastam (warp seven stardrive) ships.

On July 29th of that year, the Dabhae under Admiral Valdore led a fleet of eighty-one Romulan ships that was to invade the Sol system leading to a Romulan victory of the Earth-Romulan War. However, it instead led the fleet at the Battle of Cheron against a combined fleet of United Earth and its allies led by the Earth starship . With Valdore, and presumably the surviving crew, suffering severe wounds, the Dabhae was among the twenty-two ships of the Romulan force that survived the battle limping back to Romulus in defeat.
