Release date: May 21, 2013

The D'deridex-class Warbird Battlecruiser is a Tier 4 (Level 30) Warbird Battlecruiser which may be flown by Romulan Republic characters, as well as characters of any other faction. 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 any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 10,000 .  

This ship can also be obtained by Romulan Republic players for free upon reaching level 30 by using their free Starship Requisition token.

Overview

The D'deridex-class Warbird Battlecruiser was the foundation of the Romulan Star Empire's forces in the 24th Century. Drastically heavier than the T'liss-class Light Warbird and Dhelan-class Warbird, the D'deridex class is significantly more resilient and carries firepower comparable to a Starfleet's Galaxy-class starship.

The D'deridex-class warbirds have been at the forefront of Romulan contact with other species, and vessels of this class acted as battleships during the Dominion War.

Class variants

Class	Information
Purchasing the Legendary D'deridex Miracle Worker Warbird Battlecruiser for 12,000 unlocks all existing ship variants.
D'deridex class (Alpha)	SKIN UNLOCK: Free Measuring over 1300 meters in length, and easily dwarfing Starfleet's Galaxy-class starships, the D'deridex class is one of the largest and most powerful vessels used by the Romulan Star Empire.
D'deridex class (Beta)	SKIN UNLOCK: Free A custom variant of the D'deridex, featuring a brown hull paint.
D'deridex class (Delta)	SKIN UNLOCK: Free A custom variant of the D'deridex, featuring a blue and red hull paint.
D'deridex class (Republic)	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The D'deridex, as used by the Romulan Republic.
D'deridex class (Gamma)	SKIN UNLOCK: Legendary Romulan Captain Bundle, 12,000 A custom variant of the D'deridex, featuring a white hull paint.
D'ridthau class	SKIN UNLOCK: D'ridthau Warbird Battlecruiser, 150,000 The D'ridthau class is a more compressed variant of the standard D'deridex-class Battlecruiser, but still quite large. A distinctive wing pattern spans the hull and a much longer nose. The nacelles are twice as long and the ship sports two more nacelle-like devices at its rear base.
D'khellra class	SKIN UNLOCK: D'Khellra Warbird Battlecruiser, 3,000 An update of the feared D'deridex class, the D'Khellra-class incorporates technology first utilized on the Faeht class and Aelahl classes to give this ship improved capabilities for the difficult challenges the Republic will face in the Delta Quadrant. Despite having "D'Khellra" in its name, the Fleet D'Khellra Warbird Battlecruiser does not unlock the D'Khellra-class customization parts.
D'deridex class (Unity)	SKIN UNLOCK: Legendary Romulan Warbird Bundle, 12,000 The I.R.W. Unity was a specially constructed D’Deridex-class Warbird commissioned by Romulan Proconsul Neral in 2367. The Unity was built with lavish recreational and diplomatic facilities and was tasked with hosting delegations of colonies important to the Empire’s stagnating economy to establish influence with a softer touch. Her defensive capabilities were augmented as well to engage in “gunboat diplomacy” if the Empire’s new subjects decided not to roll out the red carpet. The Unity made several successful tours showing the flag throughout the Empire until it was attacked and captured by a cadre of Garidian rebels in 2379. The rebels took advantage of the confusion surrounding Shinzon’s coup to seize the Unity while it was visiting their homeworld. Once under their control, the Garidians re-painted the hull in stark gray and red; it was now a symbol of defiance against Imperial authority. The Unity stayed in service through the end of the 24th century and eventually joined the Romulan Republic fleet, where it serves today, proudly retaining its distinctive paint scheme.
