The RRW Kestrel was a 25th century Romulan Republic spacecraft, a tier 1-rated Kestrel-class runabout in Romulan Republic Navy service in the 2400s and 2410s decade. (STO - From the Ashes mission: "Explore the Flotilla")
Service history and disposition[]
The RRW Kestrel served as the standard embarked craft for the Republic's warbirds and facilities. Its shorter, more compact counterpart was the Tiercel-class shuttlecraft RRW Tiercel. (STO - From the Ashes mission: "Explore the Flotilla")
The runabout's design mirrored that of the Romulan shuttle of the 2370s. (TOSC Issue 77: "Romulan Shuttle")
The Tiercel represented the standard Republic shuttlecraft in the year 2409 although Kestrel-class runabouts were more common. The runabout's specs were equivalent to the Federation Danube-class and the Toron-class shuttle IKS Toron of the Klingon Defense Force. (STO - From the Ashes mission: "Explore the Flotilla")
Flag officers of the Khitomer Alliance could deploy the Kestrel alongside other small craft and starships for assignments across the galaxy's quadrants as part of Operation: Delta Rising's four-quadrant strategy. (STO - New Dawn mission: "Admiralty System")
From 2410 onwards, the Kestrel represented its class on the shipyards interfaces operated by New Romulus Shipyards, Klingon Defense Force Order of Builders and Starfleet Shipyards Operations at Alliance facilities across the Milky Way Galaxy. (STO - Refractions missions: "Explore the Flotilla", "The Hunt is On", "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
