Build:Romulan Dreadnoughts
2.4.1 Romulan Dreadnoughts
Dreadnoughts —of which the Romulans currently only have one class, the dreaded Vereleus— are enormous, heavily armed ships designed to serve as fleet flagships, mobile command centers, and the linchpins of many of the Star Navy’s strategic plans. Until the Battle of Getha, the next to last confrontation of the Dominion War, no Dreadnought had ever been defeated in battle. The loss of the Ko’nar at the hands of the Jem’Hadar has led Romulan starship engineers to propose several upgrades for the rest of the Empire’s Dreadnoughts.
The Star Navy is currently developing a second Dreadnought, the Praetorian class, and is scheduled to launch the first ship of the class in 2379. However, the need to replace losses suffered during the Dominion War, combined with the desire to install upgrades to eliminate weaknesses revealed in several ships while fighting
that war, may cause delays in the Praetorian Project.
