Scorpion class

The Scorpion-class was a type of attack fighter used by the Romulan Star Empire, the Reman Resistance, and the Romulan Republic.

History
Developed for use by Reman soldiers, Scorpion fighters first saw action in the Dominion War. The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) also encountered the fighters when confronted by Shinzon's.

The Scorpion-class would be in continuous use by multiple Romulan and Reman factions through the early 25th century and by 2409 was adopted as the primary light attack craft of the Romulan Republican Force.

Technical information
The cockpit of a Scorpion-class fighter was small, with the copilot seated behind the pilot. The disruptor mount was on the dorsal stern area.

The Scorpion-class was capable of both carrier-based and independent operation and was capable of atmospheric flight. The model in service by the 25th century were warp-capable and possessed a cloaking device.

The fighters were powered by a matter-antimatter reactor instead of the confined quantum singularity used on Romulan warbirds.
