Love seeing the old FASA designs get some love.

Another impressive entry into what may become a definitive reference of the history of the vessels of Star Trek. Your narrative made the Romulons seem real. If not mistaken, I see a possible creator of a new sci-fi universe is in the making. Bravo Homer !

I can't stop thinking that just on the heels of the Romulans FINALLY trying to make peace with the Federation, all hell broke loose....and many more Romulans died from the Hobus star that went supernova. Then, ole mining Captain Nero, because of his revenge, turns his little mining vessel into this massive, kick-ass Borg- squid like ship! Then, that's that....the death of the Star Trek's original concept of the past....ships, and all!

The Rihannsu vessel in "Balance of Terror" is at least unofficially if not officially designated the "Talon" but the ship-*class* is the "T'liss", just for clarification.

17:30 Nice to see my "Phoenix class" heavy cruiser get some attention! :)

im a great lover of romulan ships,very powerful weapons and look gorgous.

Plasma Torpedoes are basically a miniature sun that is shot at a ship or a base; of course it is extremely destructive.

Nice! I always preferred to think, however, that the Klingon Bird of Prey, with its wing pattern, was obviously given to them by the Romulans who built it - just as the Romulans got D-7s built by the Klingons. That seems far more likely than that Klingons would build a bird-designed ship. (Of course, the real reason is that the baddies in ST III were going to be Romulans but they changed it at the last minute to Klingons). The model was designed to be Romulan, so making it a Romulan built ship sold/traded to Klingons already has a precedent and seems the perfect solution.

Super informative video. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

This was a brilliant episode man!👍

My personal favourite is Mogai class (i calling it Mogai, since there is lot of debate around true name, Mogai seems fitting for me). I realy like that design.

Congrats on one year! I would love to see you continue the series with some of the lesser known races (Cardassians, Dominion, Breen, etc.)

Very interesting and well done video!

Your videos are EXCELLENT!

Great work

This was so awesome thank u thank u.

this channel is the best

The Klingon at 10:23 is Richard Hatch from the Axanar Fan Film (and Galactica)

Love the Harconen music

Awesome Videos and thank you. And may your Podcast live long and prosper.

Your awesome

Even I Kirk's time the Romulan "bird of prey " didn't have warp dive! Scotty said in Balance of Terror , "The're drive is simply impulse"

Watching Balance of Terror, it seemed to me that the plasma torpedo dissipated because the plasma surrounded the guidance device, (that was too small to be seen on screen?). It made for great visuals, but it frustrated the elementary-school me that the plasma wasn't contained so the full force of the weapon could be delivered to the target.

Great jop!..... :)

Love the videos. My only bit of what I hope you will view as constructive criticism is this: stop using the term “draft”. In naval terms it describes how deeply a ship sets in the water not the overall height. For example, a ship with a draft of 20 feet has a distance of 20 feet between the ship’s bottom (or keel) and the water line. A further term is “freeboard”. That is the distance between the waterline and the main deck. Keep up the good work sir.

just out of interest are you planning on doing ships from other IPs in this amazing format? i would love too see SW and 40k!

Love this video! Too bad there isn't a Wings of Romulus video spotlighting the Romulan D7 "STORMBIRD" battle cruiser. As seen in the animated series and the Star Fleet Battles game.

Great! Now tell us the story about how the Romulans lost their empire and every one of their ships right before their sun spontaneously exploded, and were dependent on ONE MAN to save them all.

I find the idea of a bird of prey in a way rendered obsolete in Romulan circles by the Norexen as due to that thing manuverablity is is in effect a workhorse and prey-bird. a potential idea would be lighten the armament shrink the norexen down and focus on stealth systems creating a small fast infiltration ship that can be used in squads to infiltrate a targets zone and rest idle in preparation for a main battle only revealing themselves when the enemy has committed and by that point it's too late either die in a head up fight to kerchans be out played and out fought by norexons or be chased down and destroyed by these smaller craft. simple effective and devastating the reason Romulus will always be feared

This Star Trek episode that this video is about, "Balance of Terror"

- Little Factoids* in Star Trek III: The search for spock, The Villains were originally set to be Romulan. But they switched the villains to Klingon. They still kept the Bird of Prey. This is when/why/how Klingons got their own Bird of Prey, Though Canon has never really explained, It's likely Klingons made their own Bird of Preys, at least in my own head canon. During the D7/Cloaking tech exchange. I'm thinking the Romulans gave a Bird of Prey, with an outdated cloaking device, to the Klingons to reverse engineer, in exchange for the fleet of D7s. - This is how Rodenberry explained as to why the Romulans were using Klingon D7 ships in the TOS era. - In the Canon, In 2268 there was a short lived alliance; Romulans traded out-dated (By romulan standards) Cloaking tech to the Klingons in exchange for a fleet of D7 Class ships. This means that the Klingons did not have Cloaking tech until 2268. Seeing as ST;Discovery took place from 2256-2258, Non of the Klingons ships should have had Cloaking devices yet. Also the TOS episode; The Enterprise Incident, Had Kirk, & Spock steal a cloaking device from Romulan Empress Ael i-Mhiessan t'Rllaillieu's niece, Commander Liviana Charvanek, played by (Joanne Linville,) She was the first Female Commander of a ship on Star Trek. - Meaning the Producers of Discovery didn't know jack about Stat Trek Canon. - Also Star Trek: Enterprise established the reason TOS klingons looked more human, was because in 2154 they infected themselves with the Augment Virus. - Again, Meaning the Producers of Discovery didn't know jack about Stat Trek Canon. --- There is a few discrepancies in cloaking tech, In 2151, Enterprise encountered Suliban Cabal Cloaking ships. In 2152, Enterprise encountered a Romulan Cloaked minefiield, with the 2 John Eaves Bird of Preys equipped with cloaking devices, Wah Chang designed the Romulan BoP for TOS, Allot of folks are critical that Eaves design is to futuristic to be a precursor to Chang's design in comparison. Star Trek Online uses Eaves design for the newer T'varo class Variant with that thought in mind. Everyone still loves the design even though most think it looks to cool to be older than the Wah Chang design. In 2256, Star Trek Discovery says Klingons have cloaking tech, But this does not match up with established canon. Klingons were barely figuring out how to use their new Romulan traded Cloaks in 2269. As established by multiple Canons, ST:3 The Search for Spock, The Animated series, & DS9. In 2266, TOS: 'Balance of Terror' The Enterprise plays cat, & mouse with a cloaking Romulan BoP, In 2268, This is when the Romulans trade a cloaking device to the Klingons for D7 Ships, This is also when Kirk/spock steals the newest cloaking device from Romulan Commander Liviana. It's a Cloaking device superior to all old Cloaking devices. Which explains why the Romulans gave away their hand me down design to the klingons, It also helps explains why the Klingons distrust Romulans. Sell the old design for ships, keep the new stuff. :D - In 2269 The first Klingon ship is equiped with a Cloaking Device, the IKS Klothos. Commanded by Kor, who used it in the battle of Caleb 4. This was established in the Animated Series, as well as Deep Space , where Core made a live action appearance, & Star Trek III the Search for spock. This is why the Klingons could not have had Cloaking tech in 2256, Disco had it wrong. - In 2286; Star Trek 4, The Voyage Home. This is when we see a Klingon "Bird of Prey" It was meant to be Romulan. But changed Canon forever, & of course, Kirk steals it. Flies it back to Earth to steal some whales.

The Winged Defender was always my favorite Romulan ship.... It looks and is Badass.

I am wondering if a two layer jacketed sensor beam could get through that scattering field. 3:27

I'd like to see a Romulan Bird of Prey VS Rodan!!!!🦇🦇🦇🦅🦅🦅🦅winner must fight Ghidorah--!!🐉🐉🐉

How do you only have 1.3K subs? Love your channel

Personally I'm more of a fan of the Star Trek Armada Shrike-class design.

Short range?! 100,000 KM is *short range*?! Phasers are only really effective at less than 10,000 KM to maximum effect at that, but they can shoot to 400,000 KM; and the Plasma Torpedo goes out to 420,000 KM at that! In addition, in the Star Wars universe, the laser weapons only have a maximum range of 2 KM at that, aside from the superlaser on the Death Star. And the T'Liss Bird of Prey is only about 40 yds at maximum distance in its dimensions; so it is tiny, but has immense firepower and range with its weapon for its size.

Objection! ~ 3:15 Romulan ships in the 22nd century had no cloaking device, but only sensor jammers.. Ehm, sure at the one hand, with continuity, it would be plausible. But at the other hand, see ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f85mksany8vImIU.html ). Unfortunatly the start of the scence is missing (Enterprise, 2x03, Minefield). Lt. Reed sees one Romulan ship ... decloacking. If it were only a sensor jammer, would this also affect optical sensors / the human eyes?

Your voice 😍🥰😋😏

Another great video! And I'm hoping to see one on the old Nova Z-1 class - www.ststcsolda.space/romulans/Z-1/Z-1.html (which was also one of my favorites in the old DC comics)

Please try to include the Gorn Scorpion Destroyer from the TOS series. Or better yet! The Gorn fleet. Will never forgive TNG for not including the Gorn in at least 2 episodes in 7 seasons.

How can there be a debate about who coined the phrase Bird of Prey?

its called a Warbird. The BoP is the logo.

Hello, u Don't need wings in space, only if u have a atmosphere, for lift!

No sensor jamming was not the reason the ship could not travel at warp cloaked! TOS clearly says it’s a power issue! That’s not how cloaking devices work.its clear it takes a huge amount of power to cloak so the idea that it’s simply a sensor jammer is ridiculous. The first appearance of this tech was in the TOS episode “The Balance of Terror” which was based on a World War Two submarine vs battleship scenario. Submarines descend below the water. So too should the Romulan cloak be a kind of submarine dive. Given the power requirement and that it’s shown in cannon that the way to detect a cloaked ship is through “sub space fluctuations” akin or analogous to ripples in water. So Based on canon evidence above, it’s clear that the cloak isn’t just a sensor jammer. The ship actually “dives” in Subspace taking it out of the realm of our spacetime so that it cannot be detected visually or through sensors unless one looked for subspace anomalies. This explains: the invisibility, the inability for sensors to detect them in any other way than looking for a scientific indication of the cloaked vessel being there, and it would, int would completely explain the power consumption associated with the tech, and finally, most importantly, reconcile and completely explain the main tenant behind the technology in that it must come out of subspace to fire a weapon in our space time. If you agree with me please join me in getting rid of the ridiculous idea that cloaking is simply radar jamming.

I was enjoying this vid until 10:38 when you showed the abomination of the Klingorcs.

New to the channel but you dont sound very venomous.

Mad rabbit , I hear you I was in the Navy for 9 yrs. some ppl. don't know our lingo.

its a warbird....not a bird of prey

#MakeTheNeutralZoneGreatAgain

vivat Reipublicae!!!

Short Range?! 100,000 KM is short range?! Because that's the maximum range that a Plasma Torpedo will do its maximum damage; whereas a Phaser is only really powerful out to about 3,500 KM, radically shorter range, and a Photon Torpedo is effective anywhere between 2 and 8 "clicks", that being between 20,000 and 80,000 KM. Come on; since when is 100,000 KM short range, especially in terms of a ship that's a mere maximum of 50 yds in any one direction from another direction as far as the size of the hull? Give me a break!

Move all of your videos off China tube, and over to bitchute. Spread the word 🇺🇸

A real Klingon and I Discovery Klingon the only thing they've done in common is that they're both humanoids that's it you look like a separate speak anyone with eyes can see this any Star Trek fan of good conscience can I just ignore this garbage 8 discovery ruined Star Trek just like a Disney ruined Star Wars everyone must stand up and say no it should be boycotted I thought this JJ movies were bad pair to Discovery for cinematic masterpieces

I like how you make these historical videos about the romulans but when you try to make them about the Klingons the discovery Klingon sticks out like a turd in a punchbowl please do not show discovery especially the Klingon it's a slap in the face to All Wheel Star Trek fans anyone the Box Discovery is not a real Star Trek fan I would accept it if they would say it was from a parallel universe can't even accept it as a reboot because of the look of the queen on it have to be a parallel universe will Klingon Evolution was different

so i guess you dont like star fleet ships
