Analysis: | The fastest ship modeled in the Romulan fleet, the Frigate mounts the
same weaponry as the Bird of Play, but is also capable of a higher cruise
speed of warp 5.3. While slower then the ships from most other fleets,
the cloaking device makes it very dangerous. Heavy weaponry, almost as
fast as other capital ships, and cloaking are a dangerous combination. Based on the specifications, this appears to be the same type of Frigate used by the Klingons in Star Trek III (and stolen by Kirk to use in STIV). Some of the RPG back story talks about the Romulans and Klingons trading in D-7s and this class of Frigate, and I believe the game models it. The Romulan version is heavier and has different capabilities, but the tonnage is very similar, and the engine is identical.
