BRAD'S COMMENTS: Similar in size and mission to the Klingon S-5 repair tender, this class has zero offensive capability. Play it as a plot piece.
From the FASA Star Trek ROMULAN SHIP RECOGNITION MANUAL, circa 1985
E-5 (Little Nest) Class VII Repair Tender
Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use
Data Reliability: A
Major Data Source: Vessel in Starfleet possession
The E-5 repair tenders, which came into service about Stardate 2/04, are fleet
service and support ships that extend war vessels'time-on-station and that
facilitate front-line repair during war. All Romulan fleets contain
several of these useful vessels so that in-transit repairs are possible for
individual ships. It is a common sight at all border outposts that
maintain an F-2 Repair and Construction facility.
The E-5 uses its two retractable arms to position large
components and place them in their mountings. Once placed, the components
can be fitted properly by the small work pods listed as shuttlecraft in the
tender's statistics. These small pods also have retractable arms that are
used for final fitting or positioning. The pods are also capable of
completing most external repair jobs with the wide array of attachments for
their little arms. If more detailed work than the pod can perform is
required, specially-suited engineers will finish the job.
Current production estimates show about nine of these
vessels being built per year, but this is a peacetime production goal that would
be greatly increased during wartime. Of the approximately 250 built, about
190 remain in service. About 30 have been sold to the private sector, four
of which are operated in conjunction with the independent F-2 facility orbiting
Freeman's Port in the Triangle.
The class is named from the Romulan narvasam'al
(little nest).
