The Temar Vastari-class (also known as M8 alphanumerically and translated as the Nightwing-class) was a class VIII assault ship starship of the Romulan Imperial Fleet in service during the mid-23rd century. It was named for a black reptilian bird species native to Hannrileth, the temar vastari. The superstructure of this class was also the basis for the Gryphon-class destroyer.

Specifications[]

The class was constructed as a troop transport that could keep up with faster-moving fleets and maneuver better than the larger Wings of Justice-class troop carrier. Able to ferry up to 100,000 metric tons of cargo (2,000 SCU) or 700 troops, it was equipped with five 20-person combat transporters, three 9-person transporters, and three large cargo transporters. It did not carry a cloaking device and was not built to land.

The class was propelled by two type RWE-1 warp engines and type RID-3 impulse engines. It was defended by two type RB-7a disruptors, placed port and starboard. Its type RSH deflector shields were fortified to be 1.6 times stronger than those of the Wings of Justice-class.

All vessels of this class were believed to be painted black.

Service history[]

The class entered service on reference stardate 2/14. As of the late 2280s decade, about 100 were constructed, all believed to be in active service. Several were thought to serve in the Triangle sector, while more than half were in the civil sector. (FASA RPG module: Romulan Ship Recognition Manual)
