Star Trek: 10 Secrets Of The Romulan Warbird You Need To Know

1. Staying Power

Star Trek The Next Generation Romulan Warbird
CBS

As stated previously, the Romulan warbird was one of Star Trek: The Next Generation's most frequently recurring starships; appearing in a total 17 episodes in that series, plus an additional ten in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and two more in Star Trek: Voyager. While some of those episodes featured holographic or illusory versions of the iconic Romulan ship, that's still a lot of mileage.

All told, the Romulan warbird appeared 29 episodes of the three Next Generation-era series and was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it easter egg in Crewman Daniels' 32nd century database in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Future Tense".

Shockingly, the 24th century-era Romulan warbird recently reappeared in 2020's Star Trek: Lower Decks, showing up in the series' opening titles and the season one episode "Veritas" in which three Romulan warbirds faced off with the Lower Deckers' stolen Romulan Bird-of-Prey.

With its appearances in Star Trek: Lower Decks, Andrew Probert's Romulan warbird will have stayed active in the Star Trek franchise longer than most other famous designs: 32 years and still going strong.
