The RRW Harpia was a 25th century Romulan Republic starship, the Harpia-class Dyson science destroyer warbird prototype in Romulan Republic Navy service from the 2400s decade. The Harpia was a hybrid of Romulan and Solanae technology. (STO - The Sphere mission: "Explore the Flotilla", STO website: The Sphere: Romulan Advanced Dyson Science Destroyers)
History and specifications[]
The Republic's first Dyson science destroyer was the RRW Dyson, launched in the year 2409 from the Solanae Dyson Sphere. Its first combat operation against Voth and Undine, which extended into the Jenolan Dyson Sphere, was a success. (STO - Solanae Dyson Sphere mission: "A Step Between Stars")
As a result of the Undine attack and an increased threat of an invasion through the two Dyson spheres, engineers of the Dyson Joint Command member states conceived of additional Solanae hybrid technologies, and delivered nine more, specialised Dyson science destroyer classes based on the successful prototypes. The Dyson was followed by the RRW Aves when the Aves class entered production. (STO website: The Sphere: Dyson Science Destroyers)
The New Romulus Shipyard launched the RRW Harpia, RRW Caprimul and RRW Tyton. The Harpia was the first ship of its class and specialized in reconnaissance. It was equipped with a destabilized proton beam module. It enabled the ship to fire an unusually powerful proton beam at an opponent.

At one point, the Harpia performed maneuvers at full impulse in near planetary orbit and in unspecified star systems. (STO website: The Sphere: Romulan Advanced Dyson Science Destroyers)
From the 2410 onward, the Harpia represented its class in the Navy shipyard operations interface. (STO - The Sphere mission: "Explore the Flotilla")
Khitomer Alliance flag officer in the Navy, or aligned with Starfleet, deployed Harpia for missions around the galaxy's four quadrants, as part of the greater four-quadrant strategy. (STO - The Sphere mission: "Explore the Flotilla", admiralty system)
