VELOX

Ship · Romulan · Interceptor · G6

As skirmishes on the border of the Klingon Neutral Zone became more and more common, the Romulan Empire’s fleets found themselves increasingly at the mercy of Klingon war parties. At long range, a well-crewed Augur was more than capable of holding its own against the Klingon hordes, but in the short-range dogfights preferred by the Imperial Fleet, the Romulans found themselves at a disadvantage. Klingon D4s were too fast and nimble, easily flanking the slower Romulan battleships and hitting them at their weakest points.
This was unacceptable. To combat this threat, the Romulan Senate instructed esteemed physicist and engineer Tuvan Zin to design a new vessel that could outperform the D4 in short-range combat.
Tuvan was given three weeks. It was enough.
Utilizing the rare Sigma Tritanium, Tuvan developed a vessel capable of maneuvering at near-light speed. The Velox’ triple reinforced Sigma Tritanium hull plating is immensely flexible, with thermal protections capable of withstanding up to 6,000 degrees Kelvin. This allows it to take the kind of high-risk, high-mobility engagements that Romulan forces had never truly excelled in.
Its weaponry was also expressly designed with Klingon vessels in mind. The Velox is armed with a bank of twenty-three disruptor banks and twelve photon-torpedo tubes, more than enough to overpower similarly nimble vessels.
The Velox is the perfect microcosm of the Romulan spirit; we will stand dominant no matter the cost or challenge.
