IRW Raptor One
Class: Romulan Warbird Year: 2261 Captain: Commander L'Nar
Background: Frontline vessel of the Imperial Romulan Navy. Heavy weaponry suitable for ship-to-ship engagement and orbital bombardment. Designed in conjunction with Section 31. L'Nar took a squadron of the new warbirds to bomb the new Klingon colony on Kithomer to redirect Klingon forces in what they assumed would be a conflict with the Federation.
Met up with a comparable number of Section 31 ships and together proceeded to bombard Qo'noS, easily destroying the older warships left in orbit. The operation went well and they rescued Kirk's party from the surface (who had been taken in as the Klingons believed he was responsible for Kithomer), until the rest of the Klingon fleet returned, followed closely by the Enterprise. L'Nar contacted Spock and offered him Kirk in exchange for their help in defeating the Klingon ships. Spock used the distraction to beam back the Kirk and the landing party.
Engaged the Klingon forces and then chased the Enterprise, where they were met with another Section 31 starship, commanded by their contact. Their contact ended the Alliance and activated a sleeper program that destroyed the Romulan vessels, having now successfully crippled both the Klingon and Romulan Empires.
Appeared in Star Trek Ongoing Vol. 7, IDW Comics.
