Romulan Ship Notes (Ken Jones)

XR4.KJ.XXX

NWO's Are all configured to be Cargo in most scenarios. Reflecting long term deployments. Note: The XFH has a special rule on the NWO/OPT mounts that are listed below. But the standard configuration is Cargo. A few XFH's had Flag Bridge facilities permanently installed. To serve as Fleet Command ships. With an increase of the Command rating for the XFH so equipped by one. But the increased Crew compliment for the Admiral strained the resources of the ship on prolonged patrols.

Phaser Refit Y209
The Phaser V Refit was applied only to a handful of ships before the Xork Invasion. But it was rapidly spread among the remaining ships as fast as practical once the invasion began. Before the invasion only a third of CA’s had received the refit. And other classes had gotten even fewer. The only ship with P-V universally deployed before the invasion was the XCC.  A number of ships also had additional PH-6's and PH-1's added as well.

Phaser 1's that are shaded become Phaser V. Shaded Phasers that are part of a bank of nonshaded phaser are simply additional phasers added by the refit.

Warp Refit Y207
Was originally tested on a XCL to help boost it’s performance. After some major shakedown testing it was determined that the warp field would be stable enough to place on a XCA hull. (The original cloak wouldn’t even have to be modified since it was overly powered anyway.) Only a handful of XCL’s had been built without it. And they had all been refitted before the Xork Invasion.

XFH Limited NWO/OPT:

The is a limited Option mount. Only able to take Phasers (No PH-V's) or Plasma D's. No other weapons are available. Phasers have 360. And Plasma D's are split one LS one RS. The weapons MUST be the same. IE: You cant place a phaser and Plasma D rack in the NWO/OPT mount. The standard configuration was Cargo.
