The Tulwar Dreadnought Warbird is a Vice Admiral (Tier 5) level Dreadnought Warbird.
The Tulwar Dreadnought Warbird comes with a [Console - Universal - Singularity Distributor Unit], which allows shields to remain up even while cloaked, based on Singularity Charge. This console also helps to mask your ship's Singularity Power signature, diminishing the Singularity's impact on your ship's Cloaking Device.
Players can purchase this ship through the Cryptic Store at a cost of 2,500 , or a 3-pack of Dreadnought variants for 5,000 .
Overview
In the late 24th Century, the I.R.W. Scimitar was developed covertly by a group of Remans under the command of Praetor Shinzon, a clone of Jean-Luc Picard.
Though equipped with numerous weapons and housing a contingent of Scorpion Fighters, the original Scimitar’s key feature was the ability to utilize thalaron radiation as a terrifying weapon. Shinzon first used a smaller thalaron radiation device to kill the entire Romulan Senate, and then relied on the Scimitar’s strength to back his overthrow of the Romulan government.
Praetor Shinzon attempted to deploy the Scimitar’s thalaron generator in the Battle in the Bassen Rift against the U.S.S. Enterprise-E and two Mogai-class Heavy Warbirds, but the Enterprise's crew prevented the weapon from being fired and destroyed the Scimitar – albeit at a heavy cost.
Since the Battle of the Bassen Rift, both the Tal Shiar and the Romulan Republic have developed new variants based on the original ship design. The Scimitar-class, Falchion-class, and Tulwar-class of Romulan Dreadnought Warbirds represent the Romulan Republic’s latest iterations on this technology.
Variants
Tulwar class
The Tulwar-class has a higher emphasis on Science, but retains much of its offensive potency.
The most distinctive feature on the Tulwar class of Dreadnought Warbirds is that the pylons, wing tips and warp nacelle covers all having open gaps within them, giving a more lightweight appearance
Scimitar class
- Main Article: Scimitar Dreadnought Warbird
The Scimitar-class most closely resembles the original model, designed for raw firepower.
As the ship was of Reman design, Dreadnought Warbirds are more angular when compares to the curved shapes of Romulan warbirds. One other distinctive feature is that the warp nacelles are located on the main hull, where most Romulan vessels carry the nacelles on the wings, usually near the tips. The main hull is also more square and stubby than traditional Romulan vessels.
Falchion class
- Main Article: Falchion Dreadnought Warbird
The Falchion-class has a more steadfast focus, making them ideal for Engineering captains.
At first glance, the Falchion class appears very similar to the Scimitar class. There is a more distinctive deflector array on the top of the nose, and large green Bussard collectors on the warp nacelles.
Performance
The five forward weapon slots give plenty room for heavy damage-dealing. Console slots for Tulwar are more science focused giving 5 for Science while giving 2 to Engineering and 3 to Tactical. The Singularity Distribution Unit gives the unique advantage of having full shields enabled while cloaked which means no vulnerability for on demand battle cloaking. A turn rate of 7 may not be enticing, but it does the job. A decloak bonus for turn rate keeps the cloaked turn rate for as long as the decloak buff stays active while also keeping the offensive advantage.
Combined with the other two consoles means surefire versatility as Cloaked Barrage will allow you to silently destroy foes without detection. Secondary Shields gives a massive temporary defensive bonus as an outer layer of shields surround the ship on demand upwards to about 20,000 shield points for a limited time. However, using those slots for special consoles will use up space that can be used for other specialty consoles. With this amount of destructive capability at your fingertips, the world is yours as you see fit.
