Like most Romulan vessels of the 24th century, the D'deridex-class was powered utilizing an artificial quantum singularity and was fitted with a cloaking device.
Others were controlled by the Romulan Republic. ( TTN novel: Taking Wing)īy 2409, many of the remaining D'deridex-class warbirds had fallen into the hands of Obisek's Reman Resistance. Vessels of this class were still being constructed in the late 2370s, before being phased out in favor of the more powerful Mogai-class warbirds in the 2380s.
The IRW Belak was an example of this variant. These ships were upgraded at Orias III by the Tal Shiar and joined with Cardassian Keldon-class ships for an invasion of Dominion territory in the year 2371. The D'deridex Advanced was a variant of the basic D'deridex-class starship. ( DS9 episodes: " Tears of the Prophets", " What You Leave Behind") D'Deridex-class vessels represented the Romulan Star Empire in numerous incidents and historical events and the class participated in many engagements in the Dominion War. The class was extremely successful and soon found itself making up the bulk of the Imperial Romulan Fleet. ( TOS novel: Vulcan's Heart, ST reference: Star Trek: Starship Spotter) The class was designed to be larger than any Federation or Klingon starship of the time. The D'deridex-class was the successor to the Amarcan-class warbird of the 2340s decade and the War Eagle-class, enlarging its double-hull design and correcting some weaknesses which had become evident in the older vessels.
