Love the Valdore! A beautiful ship. I note that the Galaxy Class Odyssey wasn't destroyed because she was too slow for the more agile Jem'Hadar attack ships; she was destroyed because their phased polaron beams could pass straight through her shields.
No it is far better than the tarkin doctrine you can see a star destroyers coming. You can't see a D'Deridex until it let's you even more terrifying you can't see it after
I remember the first time we were introduced to the Romulan Valdore Class Warbirds was in Star Trek:Nemesis during the Battle of the Basin Rift where 2 ships of the Valdore Class fought alongside the Sovereign Class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E against the Reman Warship Scimitar and as Worf said 'The Romulans fought with Honor' even though the 2 Valdore Class Warbirds were badly damaged during the battle where one took 3 direct hits from the Scimitars photon torpedoes and another had it's starboard wing blown off which collided with the Enterprise E hitting the bussard RamScoop of her port warp nacelle and did damage to her shields.
The main reason the Odyssey was so easily shot up was that the poloron beams of the Dominion cut right through the Federation shields. And even then they were going to retreat when the Dominium ship used a kamikaze run to destroy the Odyssey.
Exactly. Dominion war era Galaxies, while still glass cannons with shields down, where still one hell of a cannon. Still rather have an Akira but who wouldn't?
@@ironstarofmordian7098 Glass cannons? I don't think so. A glass cannon would have exploded in the first volley of attacks. The Odyssey took many hits without shields and kept swinging. She was only destroyed by a suicide run directly for her warp core.
I loved the D'Deridex, but when I look back I'm a little disappointed in both how and how little the Romulans were portrayed in TNG. But then again I have to admit that for me it was DS9 that made the Klingons cool. The Romulans also received a "re-design" in DS9 which improved their outlook quite a bit, but still it was Nemesis that gave 'em good looking uniforms and bit more "bravado", and on top of that this ship.
I think the reason why was destroyed so easily in star trek nemesis is that it was designed to outrun not attack ships like the scimitar and is designed to kill small fighters and cruisers while outrunning large battleships if they don't have there own battleship cover. Similar to a 20th century pocket battleship/battlecruser. Sharnhorst and Graf Spee are a good example
I see it as a P-51, a superiority vehicle without much armour. These big wings could house 6-8 heavy disruptors to just spray fast enemies like the Mustang used to do, with cloak giving a similar advantage to high altitude performance
It should have been the Valdore in Picard, it would make a lot more sense for the Romulan Free State to have all those Valdores, imagine the cost in materials to build that fleet of new Warbirds for a shattered Emprie.
It was the Tal’shiar not the Navy. It never made sense for an intelligence agency to operate ships of cruiser class and above especially after the Tal’shiar walked into the Massacre.
The greatest character in all of Star Trek (I was born in 1970. I have the privilege of the long perspective as far as ST is concerned.) is Garak. I sight In The Pale Moonlight as more than enough evidence. "The Romulans will enter the war. And all it took was the life of one Romulan Senator, one criminal and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you but I'd call that a bargain."
I was born in 1870, and watched TOS for the first time on my hundredth birthday. (It was already out, but I hadn't heard of it until syndication). After my 152 years on this earth (about to turn 153 in 2 months), I agree. Garak is the best character I've ever seen on Star Trek.
The Jem hadar were using a more advanced weapons system against the Odessy. According to a producer on DS9 Dominion starship tech was nearly a full generation ahead of the federation and its allies.
@@Makeyourselfbig They bypassed the Odyssey's shields like they were non-existant and their weapons were so powerful it tore the hull into shreds, despiylte the ship only being attacked by 3 *fighters.* Imagine if the Odyssey had crossed against a Battleship!
@@Makeyourselfbig after proving that they can effortlessly cut through their shield with their polaron beams. They rammed withdrawing starship which they could have destroyed just as easily with weapons fire to send a message.
2:11 And thats why, in a fleet configuration, you have larger vessels escorted by smaller ones because large ships have trouble with smaller enemy crafts on their own simply by their nature of beeing large and slow to manouver
true, but the Romulans Didn't really have an effective escort, yes they have the Scout ship, but thats quite old and not intended for frontline service, also the romulans don't have the numbers in the way the federation and klingons do. so instead of building a small ship that would maybe equal the jem'hadar. they go with something that can overpower them, as a battlecruiser the Neorexan is agile enough to chase, and has the firepower to overwhelm.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 That would not be entirely correct. Romulans HAD the numbers almost equaling the Federation and possibly surpassing those of Klingon empire. They were just spread into territories uknown for the Federation and possibly heavily involved there and Romulans, by very definition, AVOIDED head on confrontation. They won by subversion and intimidation, not by brawl.
aye its also worth mentioning that the romulans were probably the least willing to take casualties. the senate remains quite divided on the war. by using swarms of attack ships they risk greater casualties. thats why they favored a more survivable battlecruiser... more bang for your buck.
Of all Starfleet Vessels, I have always thought that The Galaxy Class Starship is one of the the all time ugliest ships that was ever designed and built.
In the non Canon books, the D'Deridex and Mogai class become the backbone of the split Romulan Republic and the D'Deridex is provided to the Federation as a workhorse research vessel due to its enormous size and singularity power for research computing and acting literally as an entire forward operating mobile base. As a footnote, it is said the Romulans did in fact invent the Klingon Bird of Prey. And as you can see in the video, some of the other Birds of Prey include the Praetorian Class and the Dioxys Class.
i like that idea for the D'deridex because it is such a large and ungainly ship. as for the origins of the BOP. i reckon that both the romulans and klingons lay claim to inventing it. who that truly is. will be a matter for another video.
The Romulan starships are so badass. They represent the values of the Romulan Star Empire. They're made for war. Seeing them dropping their cloak gives me goosebumps
EXCELLENT videos describing the Romulan ships! Just one problem with your videos...the background music overwhelms what you're saying and it's difficult to pick up the words through it. It's the perfect accompaniment but a bit less volume would be appreciated.
I've watched with subtitles, even if that doesn't get everything right it's easier to hear some of the details. I agree that the background music is overwhelming, but it seems to add a greater sense of drama
That's what I am talking about. The Romulus has the most bad ass spaceships. The Federation has the Ugliest Ships. In my view the Federation has no competition. But the writer keep given the winning to the Ugly side.
The man who played the leader of the Romulan senate in Star Trek Nemesis (Alan Dale) is a life long curiosity as I first saw him in Neighbours in the mid 80's when I was a kid and for some reason he has popped up ever since then in all manner of supporting and bit parts all over t he damned planet.
I love some of the details you included here. Could I borrow some of your technical details for a STO RP ship I'm running? We're planning to transfer our Romulan crew to an updated Mogai.
She is simply…The Most Beautiful thing to ever leave a Romulan shipyard. Neorexan/Valdore is what a Romulan cruiser Should look like. The Winged Defender is another example, and imho…the Second most Beautiful thing to ever leave a Romulan shipyard.
The Galaxy class was a designed to be a long duration ship, acting as a diplomatic flagship, science and emergency response. It was also designed for families, meaning luxury and space were a priority....it was never designed specifically for war
The starship you show at 16:47, is spectacular I can find no literature on thsi particular design which I think is spectacular can you shed some ligh? It says Phoenix but non of the ships I looked up as Phoenix look anything like this, they are all ugly while this one is very eye appealing and streamlined with the engines in my opinion where they should be.
Not gonna lie, I'm a big Romulan shill and as such, I'm totally biased but whenever you spot a romulan warbird decloaking in an episode you know you're in for some good drama. I wish the franchise would draw the light on romulans other than roms being those sneaky snarky bastards (even if i love me some some epic snarky lines), i mean, they started something with Telek R'mor in Voyager and it was so nice to get to know a romulan in a more caring and "human" perspective than what is expected from them.
Alidar Jarok from "The Defector" was a good character who showed a gentler mindset, but I always think more of Tomalok. Both Jarok and Tomalok showed that they weren't quite as a dangerous a species as they seemed (although Katsulas didn't get enough screen time), but given their limited screen time compared to the Vulcans I always liked them more
Just remember the Galactic Empire has 25,000 Star Destroyers. That's only one class of ship. The amount of firepower the Empire can bring to bear can easily wipe out the Federation, the Klingons, the Romulans, and just about everyone else.
Feds. Advanced Klingons. Powerful Romulus. The marriage of both. That's why I like to choose them. In every mod they are present. Inherently difficult. And I love it As do the romulans
I really like your video's but have to disagree with the opening part. The galaxy class vessels didn't lose to smaller, more agile fighters. They lost to ships that had a technology that allowed them to shoot right through their shields. The Federations galaxy class ship took on three Dominion ships, and destroyed one of them all while the shields were useless. If the same fight had happened, but the ships shields had been modified to defend against the Dominion weapons, the fight would have been much different. The same goes for when the Cardassian's and the Romulans got destroyed. Their shields were useless... Remember when the Defiant's shields went down because of sabotage? A tiny little Maquis ship could have destroyed it, and would have if not for the fact he wanted to let Sisco and his crew live. that's basically what Dominion ships were able to do.
The Odyssey was destroyed because the dominion was able to penetrate their shield without effort, and even then they were able to sustain substantial damage, and still able to attempt a retreat before the suicide run. That same battle goes a lot differently if the federation shielding wasn't rendered ineffective (plot armor the following season).
I always thought the romulan deaderidex should hold at least two smaller attack ships in that big open Gap particular the ships that we saw on Enterprise a modern version of those maybe a bit smaller at maybe 80 m long
Crikey! Never mind the maneuverability and the firepower... boy do those new Romulan ships have amazing stereo systems! Shame that the music drowned out the narration!
I'm wondering if it's an issue of base. I have no problem hearing you but I'm running cheap speakers so all the base is filtered out. Maybe the people who can't hear you are running subs? Just a thought.
Ah yes, truly an elegant and beautiful warbird. My personal favorite Romulan design. Any chance you could do one of these for the Dhelan class warbird? I quite like the design and am curious what thoughts you have on the vessel
In space a cube with weapons on every face and corner and thrusters on every face is the best design. Or a sphere covered in omni directional engines and weapons So the Borg are way ahead of everyone. In fact the borg have the only sensible design in the series.
yes but as a result of doctrine and tactics they overwhelmingly favored small birds of Prey. similarly starfleet had a preference for mid range cruisers.
I thought they were weaker than the dderidex ships. That's good to know. I guess the schimatar owning 2 of them and the enterprise e all at once was an impressive feat afterall. I just figured they were class 3 ships, class 4 at best.
depends how you define strength. in terms of raw weapons/ shield power no. she isn't more powerful than a D'deridex that title belongs to the Kerchan. but in terms of flexibility and adaptation she's far more worthy of the modern battlespace compared to her predecessor.
What would happen if it came across the Battlestar Galactica anybody got any opinion? I think the commander of the Battlestar Galactica would be very very worried because he would think he was on the wrong set.
Jesus the music. Tooo loud. I noticed this on your videos. Please look for a way to balance it out more. Other than that I enjoy your videos. Good work.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Wait, really? I thought they had two on their wings, and the pods underslung on the main hull served a different purpose (similar to pods on a Miranda (variant) roll-bar...) (Admittedly, mostly remember them from the DC Star Trek comics; less so from FASA)
@@venomgeekmedia9886 VGM, will you consider narrating fanfiction work in the future, like AlbertG's ST/B5 crossover ''A Thin Veneer', which has tons of space combat? www.fanfiction.net/s/1944628/1/A-Thin-Veneer
I'm afraid you're power stats are far too high. Remember the Galaxy class cannot generate a terawatt source. The phaser array has a blast of 1.5 gigawatts.
Love the Valdore! A beautiful ship.
I note that the Galaxy Class Odyssey wasn't destroyed because she was too slow for the more agile Jem'Hadar attack ships; she was destroyed because their phased polaron beams could pass straight through her shields.
Also when those weapons weren't enough they rammed her lol
The D'Deridex design is basically the application of Tarkin doctrine in Trek.
@Victor Nikolai Really? I thought Imperial 2 had more point defense and a bigger hangar?
@Victor Nikolai I see. Wouldn't be a terrible move if they had escorts to deal with the fighters. Unfortunately we never see them on screen.
No it is far better than the tarkin doctrine you can see a star destroyers coming. You can't see a D'Deridex until it let's you even more terrifying you can't see it after

Large wings = maneuvering jets away from the ship's center of gravity = better maneuverability. If I remember well physics.
This is easily the best looking romulan ship and doesn't look out of place next to the sovereign class.
Fabulous .
In the ST narrative, does not the Klingon empire employ a full range of space ships from PT boat size to Capital size?
yes but as a result of doctrine and tactics they overwhelmingly favored small birds of Prey. similarly starfleet had a preference for mid range cruisers.
8:36 lol @ romulan Zoro / antonio banderas lol
brilliant informative well edited.
@4:15... what the hell is that? Looks like an Excelsior built all wrong..
curry class a dominion war monstrosity.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Jesus, why can't Thanos snap that shitty boat away... my eyes are burning..
I thought they were weaker than the dderidex ships. That's good to know. I guess the schimatar owning 2 of them and the enterprise e all at once was an impressive feat afterall. I just figured they were class 3 ships, class 4 at best.
depends how you define strength. in terms of raw weapons/ shield power no. she isn't more powerful than a D'deridex that title belongs to the Kerchan. but in terms of flexibility and adaptation she's far more worthy of the modern battlespace compared to her predecessor.
I can't hear the music when your talking. Shhhhhhh....
What would happen if it came across the Battlestar Galactica anybody got any opinion? I think the commander of the Battlestar Galactica would be very very worried because he would think he was on the wrong set.
Dude, I can't hear you because of your so called backround music. Why do you have to make it so loud?
I love this ship , its my fave .
Jesus the music. Tooo loud. I noticed this on your videos. Please look for a way to balance it out more. Other than that I enjoy your videos. Good work.
Bad ass videos man. Great job
what UFP class ship is it at 6.16?
You would think you "aquire" the blueprint of the Defiant and make a fleet of them.
I mean, I still see this as the continuation of the Nova Z-1 line...
Good point although the nova was a quad engine design.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 Wait, really? I thought they had two on their wings, and the pods underslung on the main hull served a different purpose (similar to pods on a Miranda (variant) roll-bar...)
(Admittedly, mostly remember them from the DC Star Trek comics; less so from FASA)
@@Sephiroth144 you might be right. its difficult to tell because they do seem to resemble engines.
Goose bumps! awesome how you glorify the romulans!
if there is any faction in star trek that is deserving of glorification it is the romulans.
Indeed :D
I never realized it looks like top half of d deradex
Check music volume
Unless I'm wrong I thought this class is called the Mogai.
Next on Wings of Womuwas, dat Womuwan was wewy, wewy wascawwy in his Wawdowe.
Starfleet newer ships when?
no big series planned but i'll be going through a lot of them in 'Shipchat' i've got one on the Miranda coming out tomorrow.
@@venomgeekmedia9886 VGM, will you consider narrating fanfiction work in the future, like AlbertG's ST/B5 crossover ''A Thin Veneer', which has tons of space combat?

The remark]9.23[Would have blown itself apart.
Could be accurate horsepower distribute it the wrong way in a fragile design doesn’t work
I know from the past everything was heavier.
Show me three combination of metals.
I’ll bet you it’s from the future
A warbird that can split into three warbirds? I wonder where they stole that idea from!
i can neither confirm nor deny....
Probably some fan-fiction esque design used in the Dr. Who of Star Trek...
Romulan ship designs are basically spaceship porn.
i mean... i can't lie. i wouldn't reject to TMP if it had romulan ships instead...
Why is music soo loud
You need to turn the music down it's unwatchable near the rear
OK, Now what that the Romulan Sun has gone Supernova and wiped out their Solar System?
Great video except for the audio levels. The music was way too loud at parts.
also known as the mogai class warbird
subscribed and should do the excalibur class battleship or the jem'hadar ships
I'm afraid you're power stats are far too high. Remember the Galaxy class cannot generate a terawatt source. The phaser array has a blast of 1.5 gigawatts.
yeah i got that number from a fan resource. but even in the show they are pretty flexible with those kinds of numbers.
great video, but perhaps lower the background music level?
Music gets to load.... detracts from the narrator...
