V-27 "Comet of Destruction" Class ● Cruiser ● Romulan Empire
ALONG WITH THE FORMIDABLE V-30 CLASS, the V-27 represents the apex of Romulan cruiser design from the Motion Picture-Kirk era. Sleek, bird-like, powerful, the V-27 is a solid performer and can challenge even Federation heavy cruisers like the Miranda/Reliant. Unlike some other Romulan designs from the FASA days, this is one design I have never had any trouble imagining on the big screen. Its sweeping wings and predatory stance seem like a logical intermediate Romulan step between the old teardrop cruiser of TOS and the menacing, hook-beaked beast of TNG. Like the Chandley class from the Federation book, I have always wished that the V-27 (and the V-30 alongside it) would get some kind of official recognition. It's a great looking class and it plays great too. So much so, I went ahead and added several additional types which allow the V-27 to bridge into the pre-Picard years, prior to Next Generation. — BRT
