The Star Empire seems to be deploying the <em>R-5<\/em> primarily as an escort vessel; however, a number of these ships have also been observed in service as heavy scouts.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>R-5<\/em> is considered more than capable of dealing with the increase in raiding parties in the Triangle, where it is most often seen. Six long range RB-5 distruptors and an RP-3 torpedo are considered sufficient to send most pirate vessels packing. The high-powered RSK shield generator and reasonably well-armored hull give the R-5 sufficient combat capability to engage larger ships when called for.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>R-5<\/em> does have drawbacks, however. It appears to suffer from the same problems faced by many current Romulan designs in it\u2019s lack of speed. While it\u2019s cruising speed of warp six is sufficient for it\u2019s escort duties, it is somewhat underwhelming in it\u2019s scouting duties. Scans indicate that it\u2019s cargo hold is also smaller than would be normally found on a vessel with either the mission profile or crew size. This had made the <em>R-5<\/em> somewhat unpopular with  their crews.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these issues, the <em>R-5<\/em> does represent an improvement over the older <em>R-4 Mularr<\/em>, it\u2019s immediate predecessor. Star Fleet Intelligence believes that the <em>R-5<\/em> will remain in service for a number of years and most likely will be improved as technology progresses.<\/p>\n<p>To date, 22 <em>R-5s<\/em> have been produced at the Naval Construction Yard 7 and the Nivla\u2019shak Industries yards at Mandukaham. 2 have been destroyed and 20 were eventually sold.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\"
