Warbird

The term Warbird is a name commonly used to describe starships of Romulan origin. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone") This includes vessels of both the D'deridex class and Valdore-type.
 * The Romulan word for "warbird" is D'Deridex, as is established by dialogue from TNG's "The Defector" and "Tin Man"

It was also used to describe certain 22nd century Klingon ships. Vulcan ambassador Soval noted that a fleet of warbirds could have reached Earth from Qo'noS within a week, had the Vulcans not defused the political crisis caused by the attack on Klaang. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
 * In a 2001 interview, Brannon Braga clearly stated that the use of the term in "Broken Bow" was a writer's error.
