From 1985: the ROMULAN SHIP RECOGNITION MANUAL supplement for the FASA-published STAR TREK: THE ROLE PLAYING GAME.
I'm not that much of an expert in Trek lore but I do know, in 1985, their screen appearances had been limited to a few episodes of the original series... where they were sometimes seen to be using Klingon warships because the cash-strapped production couldn't bankroll the new miniatures and effects work. That NuStar have made the job of writing this both easier (because they had something of a blank slate to work from) and harder (because they had to conceive a whole fleeting vessels based on scant screen time).
The end result is an enjoyable flight of fancy which sits nicely alongside the Federation and Klingon editions thet I've posted previously.
doesn't look like any romulan ship I've ever seen. The first appearance of the romulan warbird in season 1 of ST:TNG was sensational.
