Missions involved

• “Romulan Imperial Minefield”: The I.R.W. Falcata leads an assault on an asteroid mining facility and is defeated by a dispatched allied task force.
• “Cloak and Dagger”: Empress Sela's flagship, the I.R.W. Leahval, enters the Delta Corvi System to take Vrimek into custody.
• “Empress Sela”: The I.R.W. Leahval leads an attack on Vulcan; the ship retreats when the attack is foiled by the Federation player.
• “Taris”: The Leahval and escorts arrive in the Iconia System in response to Federation players having captured Taris, Sela demanding she be handed over to the Romulan Star Empire.
• “Cutting the Cord”: After the Tal Shiar's forces are defeated by the Reman Resistance in the Brea System, Sela arrives to take charge in the Leahval.
• “Fleet Alert”: The I.R.W. Jambiya, I.R.W. Kilij, I.R.W. Khopesh, I.R.W. Hook Saber, and I.R.W. Shamshir lead raids against Klingon and Federation starbases. Defeating all five earns the Romulan Siege Breaker accolade.
• “No Win Scenario”: In Combat Simulation 347, several Scimitar-class Dreadnoughts are among the Romulan forces attacking a Civilian Transport.
• “Khitomer Vortex”: An assimilated Scimitar-class, the I.R.W. Valdore, escapes through the temporal vortex for a final confrontation with the players.
• “Butterfly”: In Scenario Gamma, one of several holodeck simulations designed to test the use of the K.I.S. Annorax against various targets, the R.R.W. D'serek is a Scimitar Dreadnought in service to the Romulan Star Navy instead of a Romulan Republic Dhelan Warbird as she is in the original timeline. The ship and her crew defect to the Republic after Commander Temer has Lieutenant Gaius Selan, a Tal Shiar agent, arrested.
• Scimitar-class vessels will occasionally spawn in Romulan and Reman deep space encounters, this is commonplace when at least 4 players are teamed together.

• The Scimitar, Tulwar and Falchion variants are all named after types of swords.
