\nAbout Stardate 1\/9109, just prior to the outbreak of the Four Years War, the first of these monitors began active service guarding systems bordering the Triangle area and Klingon territories to coreward. As the war progressed, their numbers were increased, likely because the Romulans feared a possible invasion by either of their foes.<\/p>\n

This class is powered by the RomuIan Sub-Light Engine Class A and carries no impulse drive system. These vessels mount eight disruptors in four banks, making them formidable opponents for rebels and pirates. It was during the period immediately following the war that the Romulans discovered that the vessels were not quite suited for their mission of support for cutters and gunboats in systems defense. As with most Romulan ships, these vessels were not very comfortable and did not lend themselves to prolonged duty. Because of this, they were reassigned to guard border outposts as the Q-4 {Protector) vessels replaced them; by Star- date 2\/1103, all of the vessels of this type are believed to have been removed from active service.<\/p>\n

Of the approximately 150 Q-1s built, about 130 have been assigned to active reserve fleets within the interior of the Empire. Twelve are known to have been disarmed and sold to the civil sector. Of the three that operate exclusively in the Triang1e, one is rumored to have been fully rearmed for guard duty around Fountainworld, a wealthy tourist spa in the Association Of Outer Free Worlds.<\/p>\n

The class is named from the RomuIan d’deletham<\/em> (great defender), in reference to its mission.
