D'Deridex Class Warbird

Comments:

The D'Deridex is the only known class of Romulan warship. Much data on the class is unknown so most is based on estimations and exrapolations of the Federation's few encounters with the class. It considered to be roughly comparable to the Federation Galaxy class and Klingon Vor'Cha.

The most notable feature of the D'Deridex is it's sheer size. It is almost twice as long as a Glaxy class starship. However, it is considered that the class was built big for psychological reasons. Additionally, although the D'Deridex mounts a formidable array of weaponry, the shortfall in Romulan technology means they are no more powerful than the Weapons fit of a Galaxy of Weapons pod equipped Nebula class starship.

Nevertheless, the D'Deridex is a highly capable warship, it's main weakness being a distinct lack of agility due to it's great size. This, however, is not as great a weakness as first may be thought, as the D'Deridex has a highly advanced cloaking device which is effective against even the most advanced sensor systems in the current Federation inventory.

The arena in which the D'Deridex is known to excel is planetary invasion and troop support. However, little of the D'Deridex's true capabilities or of how many of them the Romulan fleet possess is known at present.
