Known Sphere Of Operation: Romulan-Klingon border; Triangle; Cardassian border
Data Reliability: B
Major Data Source: Romulan Sector Intelligence
The Vindictive Retribution served almost exclusively as a strike platform due to it’s underpowered nature. Despite this, the ship completed multiple missions against the Klingon Empire. The Retribution also served as a pirate vessel within the Triangle for numerous years before it was finally assigned to the Cardassian border to conduct scouting and hit-and-run operations during the Dominion War. The Retribution survived the conflict and eventually transferred it’s flag to the Romulan Free States following the destruction of Romulus.
