Daeinos Warbird Destroyer

Overview
The Romulan Republic has been working on a special new destroyer class Warbird, designed for high-level combat situations. Due to your loyalty as a 1000-day Veteran, the Republic has granted you command of this unique new Warbird — the prototype Daeinos-class Warbird Destroyer. Ships of this class have some similarities to Escorts, but also have many qualities of Light Cruisers and Science Vessels.

Like most Warbirds, the Daeinos class is a highly versatile and adaptable ship, with a balanced focus on firepower and survivability. It comes equipped with a prototype Dynamic Tactical System (or DTS).

The Daeinos's most striking trait is by far the change in appearance enabled its Dynamic Tactical System. The console effectively turns the Daeinos into a "transformer", with three different appearances based on its mode.

When engaging Tactical Mode, hidden panels in the Daeino's head, neck, and center hull split and protrude, revealing the glowing green Plasma Lotus Array. The nacelles articulate downwards, locking to the underside of the wings instead of on the wingtips.

When preparing for warp or traveling in Sector Space, the Daeinos extends a small "tail" from the aft, and the rear ventral impulse engines flip outward to enhance warp travel.
