## Vessel Biography:

The second Romulan Warbird to carry the name: the R.R.W. Rei’Karanha, or “Praetorian Guard” in Rihannsu, carries on the legacy of her illustrious predecessor which was also commanded by Serok Thaelus. She is one of the first batch of the new D-Type Mogai Warbirds, the latest iteration of the Romulan’s premier battlecruiser. The Mogai Class Warbird was introduced near the end of the Dominion War as a Romulan answer to the advanced attack ships of the Dominion and the Federation’s Sovereign-Class. The Mogai makes more efficient use of her available weapons batteries, pairing her 12 disruptor banks and six torpedo launchers in a primarily forward-facing arrangement with her far greater maneuverability and cloaking systems. The latest run of the Mogai-Class, as built by the Republic, incorporates new technology available to the Republic through analysis of the original Rei’Karanha, as well as updates derived from the development of previous ship classes. This particular ship has received specific enhancements by the ship’s crew to carry over certain enhancements made on the S’Harien’s Rage. Like all Romulan ships, she is built with a false bridge module visible on the outer hull. The actual bridge is located on deck 4 of the forward hull, protecting the bridge crew from harm, the false bridge module being molded into the ship’s hull and armor plating. In addition to her standard crew compliment, the Rei'Karnaha is assigned mothership of the 3rd Cohort; 501st Legion of the Romulan Republic Marine Corps.

With a length of nearly 800 meters and a total wingspan of 911 meters, The D-Type Mogai is more sophisticated than its predecessor, whilst simultaneously possessing a greater subsystem redundancy and a greater variety of armaments. Her impulse engines make use of vectored thrust, in conjunction with her thrusters, this gives the Rei’Karanha unparalleled maneuverability for a vessel of her size. In comparison to her larger predecessor, the mighty D’Deridex Warbird, the Mogai is both better armed and vastly more maneuverable with a reduced target profile. Paired with her cloaking systems, the class is able to control a large area of the combat zone

Lessons learned during the Iconian War lead Republic fleet planners to seek to update a venerable craft that was both more maneuverable and tactically flexible, resulting in a utilization of a more comprehensive RCS thruster array and a wider spread of the class’s 12 disruptor emplacements across both wings in addition to the forward superstructure. Her disruptors are capable of variable rates of fire allowing her to engage small attack ships as well as larger capital ships. The disruptors on the Rei’Karanha have a 15% increase in available firepower due to enhancements made by her Chief Engineer, using methods that they originally pioneered on the R.R.W. S’Harien’s Rage. Intelligence officer Emni t’Ket has also fine-tuned the tactical sensors and targeting algorithms to the degree of 27% higher accuracy and targeting resolution. The Borg background of the ship’s Intelligence officer led to a co-operative venture with the ship’s engineer. This project would introduce a Borg inspired adaptive algorithm into the ship’s shield system. Although not imparting any form of total damage immunity, her shield control computer is able to analyze the energy patterns of enemy weapons, either through shield impacts or feedback from tactical sensors, to tailor a small degree of additional resistance to enemy directed energy fire.

Between the fore and aft of the ship, no fewer than 6 photon torpedo launchers may be found. While the decision to equip this state-of-the-art capital ship with the more common photon torpedo system rather than the traditional plasma launchers of previous ships raised more than a few eyebrows, the introduction of new Disrupting Photon torpedoes within the Republic fleet in 2416 laid any questions to rest. She carries 4 torpedo tubes forwards, and two aft. The Rei’Karanha is also equipped standard with Romulan issue cloaking tractor beam mines, for purposes of laying traps, or negating the mobility advantages of smaller, faster ships.

The Rei’Karanha is also further equipped with an experimental “Carbon Scorcher” projector, derived from technology obtained from Zhat Vash vessel brought over to the Republic by defectors. It is a vertically fired projectile launcher that fires a smaller form of cased Plasma torpedo. This projectile is mounted with a warhead of superheated carbon plasma, heated past 7,000K, that has been modulated with viridium isotopes, similar to a Romulan Disruptor. This viridium modulation acts in a manner similar to a solvent, weakening and eating away at inorganic matter, such as a Starship’s hull, making it weakened against further weapons fire.

The computer systems of the Rei’Karanha have received multiple security upgrades by the ship’s Intelligence officer to deter any outside actor from accessing the ship’s systems. The security of her communications system has also been similarly improved, with new encryption algorithms developed by Centurion t’Ket herself.

Despite her combat-focused design, the sheer amount of technological sophistication in her design makes the Rei’Karanha well suited as an adaptable multi-role platform for Scientific, Exploratory, Diplomatic, and Logistical duties.
