*Note: Prior to 2268, all Romulan ships used a "magnetic bottle" to power their warp drives. The fuel in the bottle is expended after every use of the drive. The Romulan ship is required to refuel, either at an installation or by collecting hydrogen particles in the outer atmosphere of a gas giant or within the innermost orbit of a star. Depending on the procedure, refueling requires 6-10 hours.
The Gallant Wing-class heavy cruiser was the product of the Star Empire's perceived threat from the Federation and it's outposts along the Neutral Zone in the mid-2260s. Launched in 2266, the V-6 was considered to be a match for the Constitution-class starships, although no V-6 ever encountered any version of the Constitution in their service life.
2311 Update
The Gallant Wing was phased out prior to the Tomed Incident.
