The Tulwar Dreadnought Warbird is a Vice Admiral (Tier 5) level Dreadnought Warbird. This ship is available to Romulan Republic players from the Cryptic store for 2,500 , or as part of the Romulan Dreadnought pack 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.
In 2409, following the Khitomer Conference, the Republic chose one of the Tulwar-class warbirds as their flagship. The vessel, named the Lleiset, was given to Commander Tiaru Jarok, daughter of the famous defector from the Romulan Star Empire.
The Tulwar-class Dreadnought Warbird has a higher emphasis on Science, but retains much of its offensive potency.
Appearance
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 her a more lightweight appearance.
Alternative Variants
Class | Information |
---|---|
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. Players unlock the Falchion skin by acquiring the Falchion 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. Players unlock the Scimitar skin by acquiring the Scimitar Dreadnought Warbird. |
