Ships in the Squadron
Commanded by Gessatra ir'Virinat t'Prell,
Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann
(Romulan Military Intelligence)
-- in the order obtained--:
Starships
(click images to view at original size)
- the R.R.W. ch'Rihan, a T'liss Light Warbird -- the Rihan name of the planet Romulus. This ship was a relic which had previously been commanded by Malem, the Maiori of the aaenhr s'Virinat, before he became the Maiori.

- the R.R.W. Senorix, a Dhelan Warbird -- Gaulish name meaning "Ancient King."
- the R.R.W. Sirona, a Mogai Heavy Warbird -- Gallic Star Goddess.
- the R.R.W. Memenda, a Kamarag Battle Cruiser -- ((non-canon)) actual name of the Klingon-made D7 flagship flown by the female Romulan commander in "The Enterprise Incident" (see also in this list the R.R.W. Susse'Thrai, the A.R.W. Sienae, the R.R.W. LivianaCharvanek, the R.R.W. Di'on Charvon, and the R.R.W. Fvillhu Thea). This is a Klingon-made vessel.

| The R.R.W. Memenda |
- the R.R.W. Senua, a D'deridex Warbird Battle Cruiser -- Gallo-Brittonic Goddess name variation, means "The Ancient One"
- the R.R.W. Ssaedhe, a Ha'apax Advanced Warbird -- Romulan for "Steadfast"
- the R.R.W. Susse'Thrai, a Koro't'inga Battle Cruiser D7 -- Romulan for "She-Wolf" (or "Bitch"), an appropriate name for a ship that looks like the flagship of the Romulan commander who seduced Spock (see below under the R.R.W. LivianaCharvanek and assorted other ships named here) -- successfully winning his heart, but failing to change his political loyalties. This is a Klingon-made vessel, and one of my occasional flagships. Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.

- the A.R.W. Sienae, a Mirror Ha'feh Assault Warbird -- Romulan for "Talon" (it should be noted that the same ((non-canonical)) source for the name "Memenda" also called that ship the "Talon" -- although "Sienae" means "talon" in Rihan and is a common female given name among Rihannsu; for an explanation of the "discrepancy," consult the various Missions Files from the Faiihrir s'Tal'Diann available to visitors to this Web-Embassy). This is one of my occasional flagships, and I have outfitted her with the Jem'Hadar set. Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.
| The A.R.W. Sienae |
- the R.R.W. LivianaCharvanek, a T'varo Light Warbird Retrofit -- named for the Riov (Romulan Fleet Commander), Liviana Charvanek (then known as Di'on Charvon [although canonical material has yet to give her any name] and later known as Fvillhu Thea, which is to say "Praetor Thea," after her marriage to Fvillhu Narviat, with whom she shared the office of the Praetorate), who led a squad of Romulan D7 Battle Cruisers and T'liss Warbirds in an effort to seize the Starfleet Flagship, the U.S.S. Enterprise (N.C.C. 1701), then under command of Captain James T. Kirk, whose First Officer was Commander Spock, later Ambassador Spock. This is one of my occasional flagships, and I have outfitted her as a stealth torpedo boat, equipped with the Breen Absolute Zero set. Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.
| The R.R.W. LivianaCharvanek in the Maiewski system |
- the A.R.W. Dhael'Temarhkh, a Mirror Ha'apax Advanced Warbird -- Romulan for "Nocturnal Bird" ((the closest I could come to "Night Hawk" in Romulan, since there were no members of the genus Accipiter or the genus Buteo to be found on ch'Rihan)).
- the R.R.W. Eshaeno, a T'varo Light Warbird (recently got this for the console, so I could put on the T'varo Retrofit, which I have done with delightful results, and have not even taken the Eshaeno out of spacedock yet) -- Romulan for "Ferocity."
Small Craft
- the R.R.W. H'Levreinnye, a Tiercel Shuttle -- Romulan for "Love-Devil" or "Lust-Devil" (a Romulan term of endearment).
- the R.R.W. Ri-Hhvaeh, a Kestrel Runabout -- "Spy" (more literally, the "Female-Spy," this is a term that can only be applied to a living being, so it seems odd that a spacecraft would be given this name, but the runabout was named for the woman commanding it, since Fleet Admiral t'Prell is herself "the Female-Spy").

The above list is an old ship list, before I got the 3 Dreadnought Warbirds (whose names, apart from the Tulwar Science Dreadnought Warbird, I haven't picked yet, since I'm still outfitting them and have yet to take them on their maiden voyages) and Mirror Ha'nom (not even unpacked yet). Note that I have separated my vessels into "starships" and "small craft" in the list above, because I don't remember exactly when I got the small craft vessels in relation to the starships.
Since compiling the above list, I have obtained some additional vessels, as noted hereafter.
I now have these additional ships (in the order obtained):
- the R.R.W. Ri'Alha (Romulan for "Miistress"), an Elachi S'golth Escort, built by the Elachi, a fungal, or fungal-appearing, race which apparently lives in subspace and serves the Iconians.
- the R.R.W. Ri'Unhaiynen (Romulan for "Temptress"), a R'Mor Temporal Science Vessel. This is one of my occasional flagships. Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.

- the R.R.W. Hvei'Khenn (means "Storm" in Romulan), a Tal'Shiar Adapted Destroyer reskinned as a Tal'Shiar Enhanced Destroyer, and then equipped with the Klingon Honor Guard Shields and outfitted with the Romulan Singularity Harness set. Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.

| The R.R.W. Hvei'Khenn begins her maiden voyage, leaving the Drozana system. |

I have also named my Tulwar:
- the R.R.W. Di'on Charvon (see above under "- the R.R.W. LivianaCharvanek" for an explanation of this name). Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.

I also now have additional ships:
- the R.R.W. Laseiyyari, a Talvath Temporal Destroyer (the name is poetic Rihan for "Destroyer, Ruiner, Demolisher").
- the R.R.W. Temkeshall, an Obelisk Carrier (the name is Rihan for "The Escape"); the origin of this vessel is currently unknown (not built by Vulcans, the UFP, the Klingon Empire, Orions, Gorn, Letheans, Andorians, the Romulan Star Empire, the Imperial Romulan State, the New Romulan Republic, the Reman Resistance, Borg, Elachi, Cardassians, Bajorans, or anyone else we know of in our own space, but may be a product of the Voth; however, she is an ancient vessel). Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.

- the S.C.S. Mhiohs, an Helix Omega Suliban Cell Ship; the name is Rihan for "Success." This is a Suliban-manufactured vessel.
 |
| The S.C.S. Mhiohs in the Drozana system. |
- the R.R.W. Lhao'Le, a Breen Plesh Brek Heavy Raider; the name is Rihan for "Coldness." This is a Breen-manufactured vessel.
- the R.R.W. Ri'Kaishaasi, a Mirror Ha'nom Guardian Warbird; the name is Rihan for "Dominatrix" (finally unpacked and named).
- the I.K.S. Fvuras, a Qorgh SuQob Raptor; the name is Rihan for "Moon." This is a Klingon-manufactured vessel.
- the R.R.W. Kheh'irho, a Tal'Shiar Adapted Battle Cruiser; the name is Rihan for "Romulan Ale." This is one of my occasional flagships. Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.
- the R.R.W. ri'Vaed'rehai, an Aves Class Dyson Science Destroyer; the name is Rihan for "female Professor."
- the R.R.W. Isaehj, a Ferengi Na'Far Shuttle; the name is Rihan for "Gold."
- the R.R.W. Khellian, a Hirogen Hunter Heavy Escort; the name is archaic Rihan for "Hunter."
- the R.R.W. Fvillhu Thea, a Scimitar Dreadnought Warbird; the name is Rihan for "Praetor Thea" (one of the several names and titles of the Romulan Commander who seduced Spock). This has finally been (re-)named (it was originally named "Tellus," which was the name of one of the primary leaders of the Sundered when they left Vulcan and began their journey to find a new home, and Tellus is worthy of a ship bearing his name, but many ships in the Romulan Republic's Star Navy already bear the name "Tellus," whereas there was not any other ship with the name "Fvillhu Thea" when I finally chose the name). As might be expected, this is one of my occasional flagships. Since she is the occasional flagship of the Fleet Admiral of the Tal'Diann (myself), she also naturally doubles as an occasional flagship of the Tal'Diann.

- the R.R.W. Spasssky e'lev, a Mirror Mogai Heavy Warbird Retrofit; the name is Rihan for "Spasssky my love."

- the R.R.W. Dhael Uhaii, a Haakona Advanced Warbird; the name is Rihan for "Deadly Bird."
- the R.R.W. Ihhsiu, a Dhelan Warbird Retrofit; the name is Rihan for "Velocity" or "Speed."
- the R.R.W. Ainnh, a Dhael Warbird; the name is Rihan for "Vicious."
- the R.R.W. Nhaih Selae'enh, a D'deridex Warbird Battle Cruiser Retrofit; the name is Rihan for "Flying Stone."

- the R.R.W. Akhssar, a Mogai Heavy Warbird Retrofit; the name is Rihan for "Poetry."
- the R.R.W. Temhliuh, a Mirror Dhelan Warbird Retrofit; the name is Rihan for "Surprise."
I have also finally named my Falchion:
- the R.R.W. Daemnh, a Falchion Dreadnought Warbird; the name is Rihan for "Independence." She was named this in part to honor the Havrannsu (especially in that they are now free from the slavery which the Star Empire had imposed upon them for decades or longer), since they were heavily involved in the design and building of the first Dreadnought Warbird, the ch'R "Scimitar" (surely an Aenglish attempt to translate a Rihan or Havran word). She was also named this in honor of the New Romulan Republic, independent of the Tal'Shiar and their fascist methods.
- the Heis'he, a Risian Corvette; the name is Rihan for "Love." This is a Risian vessel.
- the R.R.W. Rinamma, a Daeinos Heavy Destroyer; the name is Rihan for "Sorority" or "Sisterhood," and the ship was given this name to honor the close relationship between Gessatra and her cousin Galactica, who is also Gessatra's Hmnial (Aide-de-Camp and Chief of Staff).
- the R.R.W. hru'Phi'Tlarum, a Commander's Gig; the name is Rihan for "Chief of Military Intelligence" (an office which is held by Gessatra ir'Virinat t'Prell).
Some of my ships have kept the names which were assigned when received, until I finally finished outfitting them, and then just before their maiden voyages, I would select a name for them (as noted above, I bought the Romulan Dreadnought Warbird three-pack some time ago, so I had the Tulwar, Scimitar, and Falchion for some time, and only named them when they were properly outfitted, or as they were getting close to being fully equipped; so, for example, the Falchion which I had for months, was only named when it was almost ready to go out of the space dock). The auto-generated names usually look like Romulan words/names, but seldom can be found in even the most exhaustive Seiiya Rihan (although some are names and thus wouldn't be in most dictionaries; Tellus is a popular name assigned to Romulan vessels by the name auto-generator, for example). Uncommonly enough, the R.R.W. Di'on Charvon had an auto-generated name that did mean something in Romulan before I bestowed her current name upon her, but it didn't make much sense as the name of a ship, unfortunately. This fact of Romulan-looking words which have no apparent meaning, coupled with my preference to give my ships names of my own choosing so that they are meaningful to me (and the unfortunate reality that the auto-generated names seem to be few in number, resulting in multiple ships being given the same name automatically), means that any ship I own will almost certainly also be renamed when the time comes.
Unless otherwise noted, all of my ships were constructed by the Romulan Star Empire, the schismatic and now-defunct Imperial Romulan State, the secret laboratories of the Tal'Shiar, the Reman Resistance, the New Romulan Republic (in which case, the Arifv Vriafwen s'Tal'Diann, or Division of Sciences of the Tal'Diann, probably had something to do with the making of the vessel), or the Romulans of the Alliance in the Mirror Universe (i.e., apart from any Klingon vessels and the one Elachi ship, the one Suliban ship, the one Breen ship, the ship of uncertain origin, the Ferengi shuttle, and the Hirogen ship, all of the vessels in my personal squadron are of Romulan and/or Reman manufacture). Ships built under the Romulan Star Empire or the Imperial Romulan State were either older vessels still in use in those colonies that banded together to form the Republic, or captured vessels (older or not). The ships built under the direction of the Tal'Shiar was captured. The Elachi ship was captured, as was the Breen ship. The ship of unknown origin was salvaged and used to escape from enemies in the Solanae Dyson Sphere. The Alliance Romulan Warbirds were either salvaged from battles and repaired, or captured. The Klingon vessels were obtained through the alliance between the New Romulan Republic and the Klingon Empire. The Ferengi shuttle was a payment from a certain Ferengi who had requested my assistance with a delicate matter. The Hirogen Escort was captured. The Jem'Hadar vessel was captured (taken from True Way terrorists, who were executed for their crimes after a fair trial). The Risian Corvette was purchased by Gessatra, who liked the paintjob, so much that she had to have it.
R.R.W. stands for "Republican Romulan Warbird," referring to the New Romulan Republic. A.R.W. stands for "Alliance Romulan Warbird." S.C.S. stands for "Suliban Cell Ship."
