The V-74<\/em> was intended to be a heavy combat version of the V-8<\/em>, which was launched a year earlier. With limited scientific capabilities and reduced exploration facilities, the V-74<\/em> had sufficient room to include two RPL-1 plasma torpedo systems. Additional weapons and a more efficient shield system mad the V-74<\/em> a popular class along the Klingon border. The shortcomings of the class were notable, though. The small cargo hold and large crew forced the V-74<\/em> to operate near a home base to ensure it was sufficiently able to fulfill it\u2019s mission parameters. Patrols longer than six months became uncomfortable and difficult for crews and officers alike.<\/p>\n

The destruction of the Praetorian Flagship in 2266 by Federation forces in the Neutral Zone signaled a significant lack of capability within the Romulan fleet. The V-74<\/em>, along with dozens of other classes of starship were immediately scheduled for updates. The Type 2, lunched in 2268 saw the inclusion of the RCC cloaking device. However, the Type 2 was fitted with a single plasma torpedo forward and, in an unusual move, four RP-2 torpedoes. With improved shield efficiency, the Type 2 became a capable warship that proved deadly against the Klingons.<\/p>\n

Designers would follow up with the Type 3, removing the forward plasma torpedo and installing the heavier RP-3 torpedo. The additional space from the removal of the plasma torpedo allowed designers to enlarge crew quarters and include a second large lab, giving the Type 3 a more traditional cruiser capability. However, the class\u2019 weak shields reduced the overall combat survivability. Production is believed to have been ended sometime in 2280, with only 20 Type-3s produced. <\/p>\n

Initial reports indicate that 10 Type 1s have been sold to civilian concerns, including five that are in use in the Triangle. It is also believed that at least 1 is fully armed. Of the remaining 80 or so hulls built, 7 are known to have been destroyed and 3 are believed to have been scrapped. The exact disposition of the remaining vessels is unclear.
