Warbird class (SFC)
The Romulan Warbird class (WB+) was an upgraded version of the older Warbird class (WB), and was introduced in 2250. The Warbird was one of the first Romulan warships, a very old design from the time before warp drive. As such, it was poorly suited for combat against more modern ships. The limited stutter-warp drive allowed it some method of high-speed strategic movement, but it needed to slow to almost a crawl in order to fight, though the power of the Type-R plasma torpedo helped to offset the design's lack of mobility. In modern times, the Warbird was limited to details usually handled by frigates. The Warbird featured a crew complement of 160, a capacity of five shuttlecraft, two science labs, one transporter, and one tractor beam emitter. It was armed with one Type-R plasma torpedo tube and four Type-1 phaser banks. The Warbird remained in service until 2266.[1]
