Okudachron 2150s Romulan Warship Pictorial at Drexfiles

That is a freaking awesome lookking ship. I never really liked that Romulan design, but this detailed version really gives it credibility! All that detail just looks fantastic...
Isn't this ship supposed to lack warp, or be "incapable" of FTL? I don't own the Chronology, but I recall reading that the description had details like that. Personally I think it's silly to assume the Romulans didn't have some form of FTL in TOS, even if it wasn't warp. I just don't see them as a big threat if the best they can do is impulse in most cases.
It's better than the Flea ship but I don't like it. Where's the wings, and the green hull? It's colored like a Cardassian ship but without the usual elegance

Agreed entirely. For me, the visible warp nacelles have always been the tip-off to the fact they had warp all along. 'Incomplete records' or something. That infamous line of Scotty's can and should be interpreted to not preclude FTL capacity.

You Cardassians. So hard to please.
Technically, those bent-down things are the wings, silly chap. The lack of green hull I don't mind. It was the 2150s, after all.
It might actually be greenish - lime or pea green perhaps? It was originally meant for black and white photos anyway.
I love this thing. It's so cutely clunky, but is not lacking a hint of the Romulan predatory aesthetic in spite of itself, and is impressively detailed for something barely glimpsed in little tiny pics (well, until now).
I wish there'd been more ships in this vein on Enterprise.

I think one of the commentators at Drexfiles said it best...
"The design looks like a daedalusified Romulan Warbird."
To me this would have made a better design for the drone ships, a ship that could use the holocamouflage but could also pass itself off as a passenger ship or freighter traveling innocently though Coalition space.

^Totally agree, Damar. The flea ship made no sense to me. It was interesting, but just wrong.
One might wonder if maybe during the Romulan War the Romulans and Earth didn't end up with a 'simpler' fleet overall due to supply shortage issues? Heck, the supply issues might have been what the war was about. I can easily envision the Romulans basically destroying the Earth supply chain, then Earth doing the same to the Romulans.

That resembles the Romulan ship we saw in Enterprise episodes?
Interesting fact, how the Frak was Earth supposed to fight a war with just three warp five vessels? One of whom had disappeared shortly after the start of the War, the other was still not completed and the third was damaged if you so much as looked at it funny?
Did Starfleet use that infamous human guile and get the Tellarites, Andorians and Vulcans to bleed their fleets dry long enough to achieve victory? Or were the humans superior warriors?
These questions need to be answered!
Nope. I'm afraid that this is one of them:

And this is the other one(The actual Romulan ship):

Thor, in that last pick you posted, all I see is 2 romulan ships?
"There are Four Lights!"
I have posted two different views of the same ship (the 22nd century Bird of Prey) and one pic of the infamous flea ship.

See my thread here for some speculation.
Daedalus=Liberty ship.
We so totally should have seen this beauty in ENT. Oh, well.
Nice find!

Yea, but that last image has TWO romulan ships!

Sorry, what I should have said was these are the images of the only two Romulan ships seen on ENT, the Flea ship o' Doom and the Bird of Prey.
The second image is an aft view of the same ship (22nd BoP) approaching the Enterprise from the rear. Sorry for any confusion on my part.
And Praetor, I will read you thread soon, I'm still recovering from the NuBSG finale.
Seeing as how the "flea ship" first showed up on VOY in the Delta quadrant (even if that version was much smaller and it was a couple of hundred years later in trek time), could it have been something recovered by the romulans, complete with cloak and holo-tech they didn't have, and maybe even a quantum singularity power plant?
