Haakona

The Haakona was a Romulan warbird that was in service with the Romulan military in the mid-24th century. 
In 2365, Sub-Commander Taris was the commanding officer of this ship. In that year, the Haakona covertly downloaded logs from and then followed the to the planet Iconia. However, the warbird had acquired the same malevolent Iconian software transmission in the download as the Enterprise-D, and was experiencing similar system malfunctions, which Taris blamed on Starfleet sabotage. Nevertheless, on the warnings from the Enterprise-D the Haakona destroyed an Iconian probe before it could make a scan, prolonging its survival.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard escaped from the surface of Iconia onto the Haakona using an Iconian gateway, and was shortly after beamed back to the Enterprise-D. By that time, the program had activated the Haakonas self-destruct sequence. The Enterprise-D transmitted instructions on neutralizing the Iconian program to the Haakona before its departure, saving the Romulan vessel. ()

=== Background information ===
The computer voice of the Haakona was performed by an unknown actor.
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 66) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), there was a binary system named Haakona, which might be the possible origin for the name of this starship, in the Beta Quadrant. This system consisted of a pair of G-class stars.
The RPG sourcebook gives its registry as I.R.C 1952.
Taris and the Haakonas mission to Iconia play a part of the Federation and Romulan storylines in Star Trek Online. A class of ship in the game is also named after it, and is a successor to the D'deridex class with a separation mode based on stolen Prometheus class data.
