Vas Hatham

The Vas Hatham, Bird of Prey, was a large avian lifeform that was native to the planet Romulus.

These huge flying predators were so revered that they were transplanted to several of the conquered worlds within the Romulan Star Empire. The large avians were reported to live upto 100 years with some reaching such large proportions that their wingspan was as wide as 50 feet and were capable of weighing 400 pounds.

The reputation and name of these animals served as the basis for a Romulan starship called the Vas Hatham class warships.
