![]() ![]() This is the same design of a Romulan ship from the classic episode of The Original Series called "Balance of Terror." But, the ship that's the star of this episode is easily the retro Romulan Bird-of-Prey, stolen by Jax and Rutherford, and later flown by Tendi and Ransom into Romulan space. But, for the fans, it means that we got to see a lot of old-school Star Trek ships, including a Vulcan shuttle from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, as well as several TOS style ships in the museum scene. The answer is.well.the joke is there's not a good answer, and that's because the Lower Deckers will never have all the information the senior staff has when it comes to convoluted Starfleet missions. Presumably, this is because the Bird-of-Prey has a cloaking device, which lets them infiltrate Romulan Space, but to Rutherford's point, why not just ask the Vulcans to borrow it? Or why not get a ship with a newer cloaking device? In the Lower Decks episode "Veritas," a huge portion of the extremely hilarious plot involves a complicated covert mission in which the crew of the USS Cerritos has to steal an antique Romulan Bird-of-Prey from a Vulcan museum. Here's how episode 8, "Veritas," may have given us a clue to how this 100-year-old starship ended up battling Jean-Luc and the La Sirena in 2399. So how did it get there? The latest episode of Lower Decks may have just answered this question. And for even more discerning fans, seeing a retro-style of Romulan ship in Picard Season 1 was equally rad.īut where did that retro Romulan Bird-of-Prey come from? In Picard Season 1 Rios described it as an "old heap," and chronologically, a ship like that shouldn't even have been flying around. For some fans, seeing a Borg cube again in Picard was awesome. In 2018, it was the return in the classic USS Enterprise NCC-1701 in the season 1 finale of Discovery. Just seeing a certain ship design in any given incarnation of Trek can prompt sorts of chills. ![]() If there's one reason people love Star Trek - beyond the social commentary and boundless optimism - it's almost certainly the super-sweet spaceships. ![]()
