The Aves-class Dyson Science Destroyer is a Tier 5 (Level 40) Science Destroyer Warbird which may be flown by Romulan Republic characters. All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store.

Players can obtain this starship from the Lobi Crystal Consortium for 600 .  The choice box's contents depend on the player's faction; Romulan Republic players will receive the Aves Dyson Science Destroyer when opening it.

The Aves-class was first introduced as a limited-time reward for participating in the 4 Year Anniversary Event by collecting 1000 [Anniversary Qmendation]. Players who claimed this ship or its Federation or Klingon Empire counterparts from that event may reclaim it now on all Romulan Republic characters on their account via the Event Reputation Account Reward Claim tab.

Overview

Dyson Science Destroyers were designed to withstand harsh conditions inside the Solanae Dyson Sphere.

The Dyson Joint Command’s engineering and scientific efforts within the Solanae Dyson Sphere have yielded incredible results. The Romulan Republic, Klingon Defense Force, and Federation have all been able to adapt the astonishing technologies found within this artificial celestial structure to their own ends.

The Aves-class Dyson Science Destroyer is one of the Joint Command's newest vessels inspired by designs found within the Solanae Dyson Sphere, but adapted to suit the needs of Romulan Republic without the required use of Omega Particles. These starships are first and foremost a Science Vessel, but are capable of entering Tactical Mode to significantly alter their performance.

Class variants

Class	Information
Aves class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free With its prominent command "head" section and split hull design, the Aves class bears more than a passing resemblance to the Ar'kif class - only far more advanced looking. The ship has a comparatively much longer neck section and more prominent warp nacelles than the D'deridex.
Caprimul class	SKIN UNLOCK: Caprimul Surveillance Science Destroyer Warbird, 2,500 The first of the Advanced Dyson Science Destroyers, the Caprimul class is a science-oriented variant of the original Romulan Aves-class Destroyer. Its science focus is reflected in its pitch white hull plating.
Harpia class	SKIN UNLOCK: Harpia Reconnaissance Science Destroyer Warbird, 2,500 The Harpia class is a tactical-oriented variant. It is very similar to the original Romulan Aves-class Destroyer - the biggest differences are Harpia's command section and slightly larger warp nacelles.
Tyton class	SKIN UNLOCK: Tyton Strategic Science Destroyer Warbird, 2,500 The Tyton class is an engineering-oriented variant. The Tyton bridges the design difference between the Caprimul and Harpia classes with its mostly white hull plating and only a few black accents on the ship's "tail" and underneath the "head" and "neck" section.

Abilities

Universal consoles

The Aves Dyson Science Destroyer doesn't come equipped with any universal consoles.

However, it can equip [Console - Universal - Protonic Shield Matrix], [Console - Universal - Shield Inversion Projector] and [Console - Universal - Proton Destabilizer Module] which form the Solanae Advanced Technologies Set. These consoles are obtainable with Dyson Strategic Science Destroyer Warbird (T5), Dyson Surveillance Science Destroyer Warbird (T5) and Dyson Reconnaissance Science Destroyer Warbird (T5). For each console added after the first, an additional passive bonus is unlocked.

• Protonic Shielding
• Shield Inversion
• Destabilized Proton Beam

Battle Cloak

The Aves-class Dyson Science Destroyer has a battle cloak that allows the ship to cloak during combat, granting stealth and a damage bonus upon decloaking.

• Romulan Battle Cloak

Sensor Analysis

Sensor Analysis is an active toggle ability. While maintaining a Sensor Lock on a target, the player gains a stacking effect that either improves the damage and power drain against an enemy, or improves any heal directed towards an ally. This effect stacks every 3 seconds, to a maximum of 6 stacks after 18 continuous seconds. To maintain the desired effect, the player must hold the sensor lock.

• Sensor Analysis

Singularity

As a Romulan Warbird, the Aves-class Dyson Science Destroyer comes with built-in Singularity abilities. These abilities do not automatically rank up when acquiring higher tier Warbirds. These powers build in severity based on the charge built up by the ship's Singularity Core.

• Plasma Shockwave
• Quantum Absorption
• Warp Shadows
• Singularity Jump
• Singularity Overcharge

Subsystem Targeting

The Aves-class Dyson Science Destroyer comes with built-in Subsystem Targeting abilities. These built-in abilities stay at Rank I and do not automatically rank up when acquiring higher tier Science starships. They are separate from Subsystem Targeting abilities gained through Tactical Space Bridge officer abilities.

• Target Auxiliary Subsystems I
• Target Weapons Subsystems I
• Target Engines Subsystems I
• Target Shields Subsystems I

Activating a subsystem targeting ability will upgrade all energy weapons to inflict a stacking power drain on the foe's targeted subsystem for the next 10 seconds. They will also have a small chance to knock the targeted subsystem offline for a short duration.

Activating the Tactical Mode extends warbird's nacelles and reveals frontal heavy cannons

Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons are fused into a Fore weapon slot and can only be fired while in Tactical Mode

Tactical Mode

A built-in Tactical Mode ability allows the Aves Dyson Science Destroyer to switch between a default Science Mode and Tactical Mode.

• Tactical Mode

Activating the Tactical Mode transforms the starship from a typical Science Vessel into a combat-oriented Destroyer. This disables most of advanced science systems while activating additional tactical systems:

Downgrades Commander Science Bridge Officer seat to Lt. Commander Science Disables Secondary Deflector Disables Sensor Analysis Disables Subsystem Targeting -15 Auxiliary Power

Upgrades Lt. Commander Tactical Bridge Officer seat to Commander Tactical Activates Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons +15 Weapon Power +2 Turn Rate; +10% Impulse Speed; +20 Inertia

Tactical Mode may be deactivated at any time to return to the default Science Mode, but doing so incurs a 60 second cooldown on the transformation back to Tactical Mode.

Dyson Science Destroyers can use standard Romulan and Reman ship materials

Special features

The Aves Dyson Science Destroyer comes equipped with the following unique items:

• [Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons Mk XII [Acc] [CrtH]x2], a proton weapon similar to the Dyson Proton Weapon and only usable on Dyson Science Destroyers when Tactical Mode is active.
• [Solanae Secondary Deflector], part of the Solanae Advanced Technologies Set; designed to improve starship's shield effectiveness as well as siphon shield strength from foes
• [Solanae Overcharged Singularity Core Mk XII], part of the Solanae Hybrid Technologies Set.

Notes

Solanae-inspired bridge

• This vessel comes with the unique Solanae-inspired bridge.
• The Aves, alongside the Solanae and Nov, was originally released with Season 8.5 on the 30th of January 2014 as part of the 4 Year Anniversary Event. Completing the “A Step Between Stars” for the first time during the event rewarded 400 [Anniversary Qmendation]. Players could also play “Party Patrol” mini-game once per day to gain additional Qmendations needed to claim the Aves Dyson Science Destroyer.
