Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 5: Starships of the Romulan Star Empire[]
The Theta-class swift courier entered service in 2357.
The ship had basic accommodation though its interior can be rearranged to provide private luxury quarters at the expense of some of the troop bunks. The ship was well armed, which received criticism from some quarters as unnecessary and that the space of these weapons could be better utilized for additional crew quarters, cargo space or other amenities. Some senators were rumored to have removed some of their craft's weapons for other systems.
