The T'varo-class was combat-oriented starship class used by the Romulan Star Empire's Star Navy since the 24th century. The design was based on the successful bird-of-prey of the 22nd century. In that time, the T'varo-class was a swift warbird design. By 2409, the T'varo was classified a light warbird and in use by the Tal Shiar and the Romulan Republic. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire, STO missions: "Flight from Virinat", "Explore the Flotilla")
Affiliation
The T'varo-class was developed by the Romulan Star Empire for its Star Navy in the 24th century. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Way of D'era: The Romulan Star Empire) When the Star Empire crumbled, the Tal Shiar swallowed the military branch and was now the operator of the Romulan fleet. (STO mission: "Flight from Virinat") Various factions claimed T'varo-class warbirds for their own use, including the Romulan Republic and Reman factions. The Remans gave their ships a distinctive livery. (STO mission: "Explore the Flotilla")
Specifications
The Romulan bird-of-prey of the 25th century was in common use by the year 2409. It was armed with a total of three plasma beam arrays, one forward facing plasma dual cannon, one plasma turret at the rear, and two forward plasma torpedo launchers, able to launch basic and heavy plasma torpedoes. The design was based on the Romulan bird-of-prey of the 22nd century. This class was also used by the Remans, albeit with a different hull coloration. However, both designs featured the Star Empire's logo in black on the top. These birds-of-prey usually operated in groups. (STO mission: "Flight from Virinat")
Class Variations
Subclasses
In the early 25th century, the T'varo-class light warbird was available in three variants: basic, retrofit and Fleet T'varo. Differences among the subclasses were equipment, hull durability and power levels. Basic T'varos were frigates commanded by officers with the rank of lieutenants or higher. (STO mission: "The Helix") Retrofits were available to RRF officers with the rank of admiral. The fleet variant required support by Starfleet or the KDF to be obtained. (ST video game: Star Trek Online)
Livery
By 2409, a total of six basic livery designs was available to choose from for RRF officers, which could be modified further. These options were known as: Aged Romulan, Romulan Type 1 and 2, Reman Type 1 and 2, and Fleet T'varo. (STO mission: "Explore the Flotilla") A seventh option was available when the ship was equipped with a Reman-made shield. (STO mission: "Colisuem")
History
In 2409, this class of ship was frequently encountered by Federation and Klingon Empire starships within and without the territory of the Romulan Star Empire:
Birds-of-prey were part of fleets wandering through the Alpha Centauri and Iota Pavonis sector blocks. (STO missions: "Defend the Alpha Centauri Sector Block", "Defend the Iota Pavonis Sector Block")
Starfleet eliminated all Tal Shiar ships in the Rhi system. (STO mission: "Rhi System Patrol")
Starfleet eliminated all rogue Reman ships in the Eirhess and Terrh systems. (STO missions: "Rhi System Patrol", "Terrh System Patrol")
Ships of this class participated in a battle at Brea III against the Tal Shiar, Romulan Imperial Fleet and the Iconians. (STO mission: "Cutting the Cord")
Obisek, leader of the Reman rebellion, commanded the Rerik during a Romulan assault on The Vault. The Rerik infiltrates the occupied station, protected by Starfleet and Klingon Defense Force shuttles. It suffers damage but the station's thalaron generator is shut down and the liberated Remans retake The Vault. (STO mission: "The Vault Event")
The IRW Areinnye was accompanied by a squadron of birds-of-prey, which where destroyed by a Borg cube, in the Burgus system. (STO mission: "The Return")
Known ships
- IRW Eisn
- RRW M'sarr
- IRW Sharrdar
- Rerik
- This class presumably included a prototype ship that would be named T'varo, although no such ship was mentioned.
