Descended from several experimental battleship classes that never saw mass production, the new ''[[Romulan Starships: Examples#Vereleus-class Dreadnought|Vereleus]]''-class dreadnoughts represent the first in a planned series of massive, heavily armed, mobile command centers. Designed to direct fleet operations and strategic movements from the front lines of a battle, these imposing vessels have already provided the impetus for some sweeping changes to Naval battle orders and integrated fleet response plans. The proposed ''Praetorian''-class is scheduled to enter production in 2379. | Descended from several experimental battleship classes that never saw mass production, the new ''[[Romulan Starships: Examples#Vereleus-class Dreadnought|Vereleus]]''-class dreadnoughts represent the first in a planned series of massive, heavily armed, mobile command centers.

The ships of the numerous warbird classes have undergone a significant evolution during the 24th century as well. Originally designed as the quintessential ships of the line, capable of extended deep-space missions and carrying heavy armaments, the newer warbird classes have become both more specialized and more diverse. The new swift warbird classes, in particular, have redefined the nature and organization of Romulan rapid-response fleets and perimeter defense operations. In addition to a proposed upgrade program for the now-legendary ''D'deridex''-class (scheduled to begin in 2377), several new warbird classes are currently on drawing boards throughout Imperial naval yards. The first of these new classes – the ''T'kassan'' class of strike warbirds – will enter active duty near the end of the decade. | The ships of the numerous warbird classes have undergone a significant evolution during the 24th century as well.

A radical departure from centuries of dedicated military vessel design, the new starbird classes of exploration ships continue to enter service at an aggressive rate. Proving that a place exists for specialized deep-space exploration vessels, several new starbird classes and variants are currently in the planning or development stages. More economical to produce than their larger and more heavily armed cousins, the starbird classes stand as a collective testament to the new spirit of openness currently gaining strength in the Romulan military. They represent a willingness to change and adapt previously foreign to most officers and commanders. The newest and most ambitious starbird design to date – the vast ''T'kairin'' generation cruiser – will be commissioned in early 2378. | A radical departure from centuries of dedicated military vessel design, the new starbird classes of exploration ships continue to enter service at an aggressive rate.
