NOTES:
Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use
Data Reliability: C for all models
Major Data Source: Romulan Sector Intelligence

Although 40 of these ships were eventually fielded, they were considered one of the more significant failures of the Star Empire. 1 Type 2 was lost in combat, while 3 Type 1s and 2 Type 2s were scrapped. 17 of each type eventually disarmed and sold to private concerns where they proved far more effective as a freighter than a combat platform.
