Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use
Data Reliability: D
Major Data Source: Romulan Sector Intelligence
NOTES:
Very little is known definitively about this class of vessel. Reports indicate that these ships are operated exclusively by the mysterious and lethal Tal’Shiar.
The first known long-range scans of this ship were logged in the mid-2270’s near the Triangle. Since that time, the V-69 has been encountered only on rare occasions, and never at close range.
Technical analysis indicate similarities with the V-20 class of light cruiser. This may indicate the use of “off the shelf” hull components or a deliberate attempt at misdirection as the differences only become apparent at close range or with visual examination.
The V-69’s combat capability is also thought to be on-par with the V-20. Only a handful of after-action reports are available concerning these ships. Analysis shows that commanders of these ships seem reluctant to enter direct combat, preferring to cloak and disengage rather than fight a prolonged battle. This may be due to the under-sized crew complement or the inclusion of delicate or specialized equipment found throughout the ship.
To date, only 9 of these cruisers have been positively confirmed, with 4 more having been scanned at extreme range. It is unknown if this is the extent of the class or if more vessels are in service but have not been scanned at this time. The location of the construction facility for these ships has not been positively identified, although it is believed that the ships are being built at Romulus or Remus.
