The D'deridex-class Warbird (also known as the B-type Warbird or Warbird Class) was the backbone of the Romulan fleet during the mid to late 24th century. It is approximately equal to a Galaxy Class ship in firepower, but inferior in terms of speed. It utilizes an Artificial Quantum Singularity as its power source, and is capable of firing plasma torpedoes like its predecessors. It is expected to be the Romulan Battleship for many years to come, but is slowing being replaced by the newer Norexan Class.
