Probably the ST ship that i like the most. Its shape and presence is without comparition. Thank you for the excellent video.

I've always loved the Romulan War Birds!

I liked the Valdore.

In my headcanon, I assume the enormous size of the D'deridex is at least partially a panicked response to interrogations of the captured Enterprise-C crew especially a certain blonde Tactical Officer. Where the Romulans learned in their near future a larger, more lethal Enterprise-D 'battleship' would be launched capable on its own of wiping out the 4 Warbirds that attacked Narendra 3.

I have all of the varieties of that warbird but the legendary one on Star Trek Online. I love the design and sheer power of that ship. They nerfed the Romulan mega DLC, but it’s still a formidable package.

I always loved the design of the D'Deridex.

via show it is 6 cannons, but via creator of the model it is 11-13 cannons (as you can see the copulas of them on the model) - and lack of impulse engines that were forgotten :D. To bad they made the bottom portion so flat and removed the "carrier" ability of this ship. Prototype model looked way better.

Of significant power the D class warship of the romulans. Given it's cloak ability and toughness of the ship makes it an formidable ship. Displaying the military might of the romulans

I loved these ships and that huge Klingon battleship. Whatever it's name is.

waot a min, Gul Dukat is a Changeling!!!

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 63) and the Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385), there was a star system named D'deridex, which might be the possible origin for the name of this starship class, in the Beta Quadrant. The system's primary was an F-class star.

Romulans never disappoint...

We need an alternative reality story where one of these gets sucked into the Delta Quadrant. I'd love to see the Khazon try to take this beast on!

Romulan Warbirds remind me of the submarines. Just the way they behave under cloak!

Lacks maneuverability against smaller faster ships

Say what you want about the Non-Federation ships. I have a hard time deciding which class of ship is more intimidating: the D'Deridex Romulan Warbird, or the Negh'Var Klingon Cruiser (which might have been built along the same time as Vor'Cha has Praxis not exploded in my mind).

Romulans seem to love using only one ship class at a time for the bulk of their fleet haha

best looking ship in tng era trek imo - ❤the d'deridex

To be fair, Section 31 probably *would* have allued with the Tal Shiar to try to eliminate the Dominion threat.

Beautiful and imposing starship.

An upgraded galaxy class with quantum torpedoes an regenerative shields would match if not destroy the bird , but I love this ship it’s so iconic

Terrible the way this ship got nerfed in DS9, tho.

They aren't even planning to do Legacy, Jeri Ryan mentioned it in an interview while Kertzman was there and you could tell it hadn't even crossed his mind he'd rather focus on star trek the college years.

I always wondered why in star trek discovery why the federation didn't start using the romulan technolog to keep warping around since they had reunited with the Vulcans to become nevar. You would think that the Nevar world would share the technology to help the Federation stay intact. The sigularity technology would of been a great help.

Awesome ship .

Loved the analysis ❤

Once you pronounced Galorndon Core as "Galdorian Core", that's when you jumped the shark and revealed that it was all a bit.

The D'Deridex was the Romulan Empire. Anything before or after was just weak or lazy or poor writing decisions tbh. What's not to like about this ship and it's TNG offering of the Romulans? It was purposefully added to be the nemesis to Picards Enterprise. To be an even bigger and more powerful ship than the mighty Galaxy Class, pride and flagship of the Federation. Lurking in the shadows, watching, plotting, and with an apparent hatred, arrogance and possibly even a little bit of envy for all things Starfleet. Some argued the Galaxy was more powerful or at least just as powerful, but imho and as outlined above, the D'Deridex was there for fill the role of the "Omg! Their ship is even bigger and more powerful than ours! How is that possible!" sort of scenario as to add a real threat and sense of danger instead of casually flying about space with an over-powered Federation ship that would only serve to remove a lot of those dangerous scenarios "Cuz the Enterprise is the best ship out there!", that's not good for plots or holding the viewers interest. Don't forget, the Galaxy was an exploration vessel that could fill the role of a battleship when needed, whereas the D'Deridex was designed primarily as a superiority war machine, to press the Romulan dominance over anything that stood in their way, but filled the role of an exploration vessel. So their primarily wasn't the same and while creating a war machine doesn't automatically give you superiority over a ship that wasn't, in this case I feel for the story it was supposed to fill the role of a more powerful ship. Arguably the Galaxy and the D'Deridex were the two most visually stunning ships ever created for Star Trek and imho are. Nice vids Trek Central.

Yes an screen catching design for sure

So when will we be able to play the D'deridex in WoWS?

I wonder how the War Galaxy fares against this ship.

the front part of the warbird looks like a bird's head or a helmet of a roman soldier

The are indeed my favorite adversary ship, menacing and yet beautiful. Yet, their negative space sort of works thematically to suggest that the Romulan Star Empire looks huge and important yet somehow--hollow. Even so, the idea that this ship and its technology exists at all really raises the stock of the Romulans compared to their portrayals in the 23rd C where they seem like such a regional power, yet now have managed to keep themselves in the game somehow. While, unfortunately, we know shockingly little in canon about the Romulan's empire, their total volume of space, colonies, subject races, internal and external economies and so on, the existence of the D'deridex shows them to be a great power, even if both the great warship and empire it represents are deeply flawed. I do prefer the idea that the D'Deridex is a huge ship, but a lot smaller than its stated stats: lower number of decks, length of only about a 1000 meters if that. I would prefer this mostly because the D'deridex doesn't seem to have all those cool bells and whistles it was supposed to have, more weapons, carrier space for squadrons of drones and fighters and so on. Also, while clearly a big ship on the screen, it just doesn't seem nearly THAT big. The franchise seemed fond of over-scaling adversary ships, THIS ship which was meant to be quite large, somehow always looked understated compared to the colossus shown in the Star Trek Encyclopedia. So, I've long discounted the stated size, which I think is for the best due to questions of how the Romulan Star Empire could both build and support these immense ships in the first place, AND to do so in fairly large numbers. I do wonder if, while the D'deridex uses an artificial singularity, it's size and open space was somehow necessary for that? Also, while these big capital ships might use that technology, and it might be necessary for a warp field so large, smaller ships might well still use good 'ol antimatter which would explain the Romulan's ongoing need for large amounts of dilithium.

Hey! Just because I use FEET and Inches and MILES, doesn't make me a bad guy.

Best ,ever,period .

tomalak when he wasn't masquerading as a narn i secretly believe that the tal shair kidnapped the real garkar and replaced him with tomalak or at least a tomalak clone. iam sure they had secretly infiltrated the babylon 5 universe.

That multi hulled green Warbird is quite a bit larger than Galaxy Class StarShips , , when Geordi's shuttle encountered one its massive presence was very noticeable , , Tomalak's Large Warbird could destroy Enterprise-D & 2 Klingon Kavor Class Birds of Prey , ,Tomalak would be destroyed as well , so Tomalak descided not to attrack , but if he was in kamakazi mind set , , , ,show over folks 😋 , , back to original point TNG Warbird ENORMOUS compared to Enterprise-D, ,🖖😸🖖

Cheers Jack

Why is the name of this ship like the name of a headache drug 😄

The warbird does not have impulse engines. Fact!

The Enterprise G, could not destroy a Romulan warbird. She is outgunned and outmatched.

when I first saw the warbird on TNG on TV, I started watching Star Trek. I found the design of the ship very imposing and threatening.

Romulus Objective Battle Offensive Compatible Ordnance Prototype Part Romulan part all battle ship With a black HeOaLrEt ♥️

Did they ever give an in universe explanation for why the ship has a giant empty space in the middle?

Hello marbles.

I’m just gonna say this, bit the enterprise g should have never been a thing

I don't remember seeing it in star trek picard...

Captain Jack?

Warbirds were powerful but got their @$$es handed to them by the Jem Hadar.

oh? where exactly are it’s impulse thrusters? ? ? ? 😂😂😂😂

Nah...Aelahl, Firehawk, Daeinos, Vreedex, Faeht, Ar'kif - but this is subjective opinion;)

I always thought this was a glass cannon designed completely for hit and run.

Terrible the way it wasnt used as much in tng

The fact the rommkes use blackhiles means when the burn happened they should have remained unaffected amd reign Supreme

And for the time of the 32nd century, this ship is not even considered large.

Wouldn't it be more like metres=imperials and feet=rebels?

Romulan war birds are to big to use in a fight I liked the classic war bird they're fast enough to damage to the ships of the federation

🖖🖖😊🖖🖖🍁

Umm.. Plasma torpedos... Meaning heavy plasma torpedos. Big green balls that fly at ships. Romulans s have disruptors. Listen to the TV shows. I don't need a book report

Has paranoia about foreign powers but allows hundreds of foreign ships into it's home system to evacuate it's people 🤣

12:21 Mogai, not Valdore

They DIDN'T DO 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩!!!!!!! Against the Dominion

You want thoughts pm this frankly ridiculous ship, in my opinion. Why use a "contained singularity" as a power source? Aside from the FACT the gravometric waves emanating from said black hole makes your cloak useless, if you're going to use a containment system presumably on your singularity this will squeeze on your mini black hole creating the gravity waves.....which would use (do the numbers) woild require most of not all the output of the singularity creating a loop which generates net zero power. Therefore it'd need more power (a warp core perhaps 😂) forufe support at the very least. This ships power system is a poorly thought joke!!! Looks nice, but nah. Ridiculous

Nah. Way more bark than bite. The Dominion proved it.

This dude has not one but TWO pronounced speech impediments. It's really hard to understand him.

Star trek is dead. I wish it wasn't, but it is... F*** the digital world. So sad😢😢😢😢
