The RIS D'era (IRC-13210) was a shuttle variant of the Theta-class Romulan courier starship in service of the Romulan Star Empire's Imperial fleet in the 24th century.
Service history and disposition[]
The D'era was the personal transport of Senator Vreenak. In 2374, he was transported on this courier on a covert mission to Deep Space 9 for a meeting with Captain Benjamin Sisko. At the meeting, he was presented false evidence of Dominion plans for invading Romulan space, which he did not believe. Upon leaving the space station, the D'era was destroyed. The Romulan government suspected that Dominion agents had sabotaged the D'era in an effort to erase the evidence of their plot. This action triggered an alliance between the Romulan Star Empire and the Federation in the later stages of the Dominion War. (DS9 episode: "In the Pale Moonlight"; Decipher RPG module: Starships)
- In Last Unicorn RPG - The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire module: The Romulans, the RIS Rilidam was listed as a notable example of the Romulan shuttle class, and described the shuttle being lost on a diplomatic mission, apparently to imply this was Vreenak's shuttle, but with no mention of the senator or the specific circumstances.
