Norexan Class Romulan Warbird
The Norexan Class (also known as the Valdore Type) warbird that was launched in 2378. It's development was a result of D'Deridex Class not faring especially well in the Dominion war despite its great size and the Romulans moved toward smaller, more sophisticated vessels. This is the most advanced ship in the Romulan Fleet, although early indications show that the stock Norexan is not as powerful as a Sovereign Class starship.
Like the D'Deridex Class predecessor, the Norexan Class is equipped with a quantum singularity power source and an upgraded cloaking device. The cloaking system has been improved and is undetectable using tachyon or an anti-proton scans. This warbird however, still can not fire while cloaked. Unlike the D'Deridex Class, the Norexan is highly manuverable. This maneuverability has never been seen in a Romulan vessel before. Along with the Cloaking Device, the Norexan Class is equipped with several banks of disruptors, plasma torpedo launchers, and strong shields.
Starfleet did not encounter this class until 2379. The U.S.S. Enterprise encountered two Romulan warbirds under the command of Commander Donatra that assisted the U.S.S. Enterprise in the fight against Praetor Shinzon's Scimitar.
