A recent addition to the Romulan Navy, the T-11 has become a significant worry for Star Fleet due to it’s combat capabilities. Armed with powerful RB-6s and the dangerous RPL-3 plasma torpedo, the T-11 is as powerful as some Romulan and Klingon cruisers.

The T-11 uses the same hull design as the S-14 scout, making exact identification of the two classes difficult at best. The use of a single inboard warp coil and effectiveness of the RCC cloaking device make the T-11 difficult to detect and track.

The vessels large internal volume and smaller crew makes service aboard these ships comfortable and popular. Most operate in squadrons of two along the Klingon and Gorn borders. One squadron is known to operate along the Federation Neutral Zone and is often seen operating very close to the Romulan size of the zone.

Surprisingly, only about a half dozen of these ships are known to be in service. It is uncertain if there was a design flaw or other reason for the low numbers of ships built, but indications are that T-11 production was scheduled increase to counter continued Klingon aggression along the Triangle. Although there is no indication that the Romulans truly understand the scope of their Gorn opponents, T-11 production and the introduction of a Type 2 may have increased due to the threat from that border.

The production facility for the T-11 is unknown although two squadrons were observed departing Romulus, indicating that the home-world was the location of the shipyards for the Dragonfire. Of the 8 built, 5 are believed to still be active with the Romulan Free State. 1 is reported missing and 2 have been scrapped.

Although the Romulans do not have a dragon per-say in their mythology, they do have a large fire breathing serpent that was thought to prey on those who exhibited psionic capabilities. The legend says that those who used such abilities would attract the beast which would use a blast of psychic fire to burn the ability from the would-be users mind.
