The D'valek-class was a type of swift warbird that saw service with the Romulan Star Empire during the 24th century. The class entered service in 2368. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 3: Ships of the Klingon Empire; The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon) Developed in the 2360s using many of the specifications from the D'deridex-class the D'valek resembles its larger cousin with the principle differences being the lack of ventral superstructure between the nacelles and that the wing pylons sweep forwards more sharply.
