This is an interesting Chicken/Egg situation. The Klingons and Romulans do have quite the back and forth when it comes to ship R&D. By the 24th century & beyond though, indeed Bird of Prey becomes more ubiquitous Klingon while Warbird is more ubiquitous with Romulan.

Yeah so I guess the question is. Do the klingons now get to say what is or isn't a bird of prey.

Fun fact, the Bird of Prey in Search of Spock was originally supposed to be a Romulan ship with Kirk fighting the Romulans over Genesis. But the Romulans were not a household name at the time so they feared audiences would like the movie. The Klingons were more well-known due to the first movie, so it became a Klingon ship. So, I like to think it was developed by both but the Klingons were the ones to pick it up for mass production realizing they need small warships they can mass produce to match the technologically superior Federation with numbers over quality. While the Romulans focused on the Warbird concept to make larger and more powerful capital ships to, at the very least, intimidate powers that could defeat them by not invading their territory. It would not surprise me it was a joint project where the Klingons and Romulans developed the smaller Bird of Preys to support the powerful Warbirds in joint fleets but due to politics and tactics developed by each power, focused on one concept over the other.

The Orions use pretty similar ships too. I think all three exchanged a lot of technology.

A little ship that can appear out of nowhere and hit with a big punch that's greater than might be expected of its weight class might always have some use. It's more efficient than colossal ships. I would argue that the Romulans still had BoP, they were just rarely seen in the 24th C. When taking the risk to decloak for negotiations, if would make sense to use the larger, tougher and more powerful warbirds. Likewise, the more resource and manufacturing poor Kligons likely needed BoP to help keep them in the game? Also, the navies of the Great Houses are often going to be much more limited than what a centralized government can do. It makes sense that old cruisers and lots of differing BoP would be present. Raids between houses and in times of civil war, or against the Romulans or Federation or anyone else would make an inexpensive 'sub' that can strike unexpectedly to even the odds

The main issue for BOPs in the 24th century is the size of their prey which are proportionally much larger than BOPs Regarding klingons. The BOP was originally meant to be a support asset but it became more ubiquitous probably as a result of Praxis ect.

It probably was co-developed, because if there was one thing about a "bird of prey" is a ship with an operational cloking system. Keeping in mind during TOS, the klingons trade the D-7 to the Romulans for their cloke.

I like the idea that it's all translation stuff. I mean, looking up "bird" in the Klingon-English dictionary shows a variety of bird types, and the Bird of Prey (toQDuj) is named after one type (toQ). Romulans might named theirs after a type of bird trained for use in battle in ancient times - a "bird of war" / "war bird" and early translations into English might've missed some nuance, and thought they were referring to a more general "bird of prey" type of bird, while later translations spotted that and corrected the translation. I like to think that the B'rel was a joint Romulan-Klingon project where Romulans provide cloaking device and knowledge, and the Klingons provide shipbuilding expertise and weapon tech. Then some Klingons steals a prototype to go investigate the Genesis project (possibly killing Romulans in the process of stealing the ship), and the Romulan-Klingon alliance (finally?) falls apart over the fallout between the two governments from the theft.

My headcanon is that since the term “submarine” literally does not make sense in space due marine implying seas, that Bird of Prey is used as a replacement term. Something that stays cloaked(submerged)and waits in ambush to emerge and quickly cripple or capture an enemy ship.

@@venomgeekmedia9886 yeah, though when we think submarine we probably think of a WW2 type attacking merchants and supply ships like a U Boat. But there were rarer types that were cargo subs, japanese sea plane tender subs, and french cruiser subs. And in modern terms nuclear and ballistic missile subs. So I think Bird of Prey more aligns to the classic ambush types, while something like a warbird or various cloaked battlecruisers are like a french cruiser sub or maybe a modern sub with cruise missiles. Maybe still "birds of prey" in a broad definition sense, but their role exceeds their original definition.

The Klingon’s ship seems earlier, I find it more likely given the size and scope of the Klingon Empire compared to the smaller Romulan Empire. The Romulans are essentially stealing the idea that leads to the Vas’Hatham as seen in TOS. The Klingons use traded cloaking devices to make them fast attack ships which they continue to develops while the Romulans loose interest in the Vas’Hatham and instead base their military doctrine around larger capital ships. Again this suggests the Vas’Hatham was a borrowed idea and the D’Deridex is their indigenous military philosophy

The Klingons own the fast attack ship as they integrate the B’Rel class, with the D series a mirroring if the larger Federation ships before they default to their style. The Federation largely likes mid to large cruisers that can double as science and diplomatic couriers but with just a few adjustments become fast battlecruisers. The Romulans prefer to project power with large warbirds which are actually rather under armed considering their size, I mean the D’Deridex has 6 disrupters and 2 torpedo launchers, while the Galaxy class has 12 phaser banks in the original configuration and 2 burst fire torpedo launchers which is basically the equivalent of 10 normal ones which is pretty interesting

That t'varo design from enterprise, in my head Canon, is actualy an early 25th century design, and those ships just happened to find themselves in the past becase of some time travel shenanigans, the crew of the enterprise didn't know the difference.

First of all. The In Search for Spock paperback book states that the Bird of Prey is a Romulan design that was sold to the Klingons during a technology trade. The Klingons just took the Scout (Bird of Prey) and came up with a cruiser and frigate design. This insulted the Romulans. There is no earlier design of this ship during the NX-01 era or during the TOS era.

Very interesting insights into a deeper topic than it first appears. Thanks

I think the Romulans went away from the Bird of Prey because the plasma torpedo lost its effectiveness. In TOS it could one shot a Constitution at close range but by TMP, the Enterprise took a shot from Veger that took out three Katingas. I think shields advanced so much that the plasma torpedo became useless and thus the small cruiser killers became pointless and moved on to capital ships that could dominate other capital ships.

@venomgeekmedia9886

2 жыл бұрын

Plasma torpedoes were probably still effective in TMP. But what changed was the development of cased plasma torpedoes. And the increase of ships shields and engine power meant that they were easier to evade.

2 issues that I personally have with the Romulan ships are 1. The Warbird in (TOS) Balance of Terror was supposed to a submarine in space as the episode was inspired by Das Boot, and Run Silent, Run Deep. The ship at this point in the story does not have definitive scale measurements. We know that it is smaller than the Enterprise, and it simulated the battle tactics by having an immensely strong Plasma energy weapon that is suppose to act as a torpedo from a submarine. Its a two trick pony ship. It has a cloaking system to simulate hiding underwater, and it has a strong hitting weapon that has limited range. They made blueprint/line drawings of it in the early 1970s to make it fit into the Star Trek universe, and to sell to the fans and such and they made the ship 50 meters long. We don't actually know how large or small the original ship was supposed to be other than it was smaller than the Enterprise. So now we either go with the approved line drawings that were not made by the man whom actually made the filming model, or we set it in the bastard scales of the AMT models that never state if they are 1/650 scale like the other 2 ships are specified in. On screen and in fan films the appearance of them change sizes just like the Klingon Bird of Prey ships seem to do because of them not wanting to create new ship models, so they just scale them. my second problem is Enterprise coming up with the 23rd/24th century design that is larger and Next Gen looking to be the fore bearer of the TOS Warbird.

I believe the Romulans created the Bird of Prey and the Klingon saw it and made a version of their own

An interesting assessment. I would add that the Defiant-class, Treaty of Algeron cloaking restrictions aside, might qualify as a Bird-of-Prey. Taking on speed, agility, and firepower as their primary over stealth. But the Defiant-class is a part of the anti-Borg line of ships. Given the Romulans circumstances in the early 25th century, I would think they would reassess using smaller ships that are easier to produce given resource scarcity, for both the remnants of the Star Empire and the nascent Republic.

@venomgeekmedia9886

The one issue is that the defiant is heavily armoured which is not really seen on other birds of prey.

In Balance of Terror, the Romulan ship is never actually called a Bird of Prey. While Stiles describes the artwork, "they're painted like a giant bird of prey", the ship itself is never called out as such. We call it a Bird of Prey, because the AMT Model said Romulan Bird of Prey on the Box. AMT had the license for the original models. This was of course long before FASA.

I think the real answer was the Romulans. The ship for the movie was supposed to be Romulan but they changed at the last minute and thus the Klingon bird of prey was born. FASA, the second game that tried to make sense of this said the Klingon Bop was Romulan and sold to the Klingons in exchange for warp drives. The Klingons liked it so much they made 3 versions of it. The stuff from Enterprise broke continuity in a number of ways, and the older Klingon BoP was merely one of the less distressing ones. I'll just point out that TOS indicated the whole "bird of prey" theme was very much a Romulan thing, including painting them like a bird of prey. Which is why the movie really made little sense. And it really muddied the waters when it comes to ship design philosophy. If you want to use FASA ships (and apparently you do) the early romulan ships didn't look like we saw in Enterprise. And they certainly didn't have cloaks.

the Vulcans invented the bird of prey. Afterall it was Vulcan information Enterprise was using on threat forces and Soval called the Klingon warships warbirds in the pilot Broken Bow. According to most apocrypha the Klingon based the shape of the hulls of there ships on ocean going predators from Q'onos so it is unlikely the would refer to them as warbirds. This means that the classification is likely from Vulcan antiquity

The Romulans probably classify all ships as some variety of Bird. Gunboats are Birds of Prey. Warships are Warbirds. Civilian ships are Birds of Duty or some such. Government ships are Imperial Birds, or some such, and so on. For the Klingons, the Bird of Prey was a name used for an old frigate, and when they started copying the Romulan stealth craft, they saw no problem using the same name, because they had, by some coincidence, already used it once before. That also led to the Klingons using the term more flexibly than the Romulans, because it wasn't a ship classification for them, it was a style.

The Warbird concept had its shortfalls as the Romulan Empire found during the Dominion War where they suffered heavy casualties. They needed a more Klingon Bird of Prey Design to fight off hoards of Bug Ships and this leads on to the Mogai Class with its faster firing medium disruptors and high agility

Sorry to resurrect an old comment section but perhaps "Bird of Prey" was what an old enemy (say 20th or 21st century, maybe early 22nd) of both the Klingons AND Romulans called a type of attack ship and the two of them borrowed the terminology separately but from this original source. Starfleet linguistics knows about this (at least on the Klingon side in TOS) and the universal translators pick up on this common origin and translate the terms the same way. We don't see this power because it either was conquered by one or both powers or still shares a border with both, just on the opposite side of the two from the Federation. The differences between the two types then being the result of development along differing lines in the decades since.

When the Romulans and Klingons sued each other for copyright infringement, the court cases dragged on throughout the 24th century. Armies of lawyers perished on both sides.

Q: "Who invented the bird of prey?" A: God. But man named it then created a fictional ship with the same name.

While a lot of their 24th and 25th century designs are called warbirds, classes like the Valdore, and the Faeht(I think, going from memory here, cause I'm not opening up STO to check) act very much like their 23rd century predecessors, as ambush predators.

I found it interesting you only used FASA Romulan ships in your beta canon ship overheads, yet you use Star Fleet Battles ships in many of your artwork shots. Star Fleet Battles labelled the T'Liss the 'Warbird' (despite Lt.Stiles all but calling it a bird of prey as he describes the paintwork of typical Romulan warships) and Kirk never calls it a Bird of Prey. It would take until STNW before Pike calls it such, despite the fact there is no possible way he would know this, unless this is known in his original timeline). My understanding is that Star Fleet Battles got the name from the show itself, which had labelled the original Romulan ship a Warbird in either show sketches or early show promotion work in publications. I contend that this ship was always the intended original Warbird, and the Bird of Prey was a light Romulan ship given to the Klingons with a cloaking device as the design was considered a dead end. The Klingons took it and repurposed it, first as a heavy frigate, and later developed it into more of a scoutship in the B'Rel.

Kinda more happening on the same concept.

A great video but given how far back both designs go I can't help but wonder, while we know both Klingons and Romulans did share and swap tech I feel the answer is this a case of parallel thought. We do see this plenty of times in the series given a real world answer such as all bad guys used disruptors while good guys used phasers. But as we get more through both Enterprise and TOS you clearly see parallel thought. In Enterprise we see Vulcan, Andorian, Telerit, and Earth using phasers. Now Earth got phasers from Vulcans but why do the Andorians and Telerits use them also given they are enemies answer parallel thought the tech might be different but result is the same. We see the same in TOS, Klingons, Romulans, Gorn, and Armenians all used disruptors yet some of these races aren't neighbors to each other and in the case of Armenias 6 they don't even have intergalactic space travel yet. So it is possible that both Romulans and Klingons both came up with Bird of Prey designs they just ended up using them for different purposes one race used them as a capital ship while the other used it in a support role.

I hate the entire idea of the Klingons having a Bird of Prey or the cloak. These are Romulan IP's as it were and it was only do to Nimoy wanting to replace Romulans with Klingons in Star Trek 3 that this ever happened. The Klingon D7 design base was their classic look and being given a Romulan identity takes away from both of their unique cultural flare
