**Description**: When powerful Romulan senators travel, they desire three things: speed, secrecy, and comfort. The Romulan Senatorial Transport provides all three, and more. Its powerful engines, state of the art cloaking and communications systems, and luxurious accommodations make the ideal means of transport for high ranking Romulan officials.

Senatorial Transports are built, maintained, and operated solely by senators and other persons with enough wealth and power to afford them. The owners usually go to great lengths to keep the existence and/or capabilities of their transports secret from the Star Navy and the Tal Shiar. (The Tal Shiar uses a similar vessel for many of its own missions.)

Physically, the Senatorial Transport resembles a smaller version of the T’rasus-class Light Starbird, with a few modifications. First, the connecting inter-hull is thicker and the command hull smaller, reducing the possibility of the command hull being severed from the ship by a lucky enemy shot. Second, the wing pylons are more rounded, with a more pronounced downward curve, somewhat like the D’deridex.
