Valdore class starship

In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Valdore type is a make of starship produced and used by the Romulan Star Empire. This smaller Romulan starship type was first seen in Star Trek: Nemesis. Nothing is known about these ships, aside from their brief appearance on screen; the vessels are quite maneuverable and well-armed, but were no match for the Reman warship Scimitar. The sleek and modern design is similar to the Klingon bird-of-prey and probably was designed to serve during the Dominion War. At least two starships exist in 2379. This class is the same size as the Galaxy class starship and was probably developed in response to the new Sovereign class starship or the Negh'Var class battleship or replace or supplement the firepower of the D'deridex class warbird.

The ship's official class designation is uncertain, as it is listed in the CCG as a Norexan-class (Valdore being the name of an individual ship).
