T'Liss Bird-of-Prey
Star Trek | Fictional Vehicle
Gaining its name from the bold pattern of bird's feathers painted on the ship's ventral hull, the Romulan Bird-of-Prey may have been in service by the early 21st century, when one was allegedly photographed on Earth.
The Federation Starfleet first encountered this vessel in 2266, when a single ship of this type crossed the Romulan Neutral Zone and attacked several border outposts, destroying them utterly. The USS Enterprise responded to the alert and engaged in a tense game of cat-and-mouse with the intruder for more than ten hours, before the Bird-of-Prey was destroyed. This ship was also encountered in an alternate timeline experienced by Captain Pike in 2266.

The Romulans later used larger numbers to patrol their border with the Federation in force. Typically during an incursion, one Bird-of-Prey would bring a starship out of warp with a plasma torpedo to allow the ships in its battle group to attack the target en masse. When the Enterprise violated the Neutral Zone on the orders of Commodore Stocker in 2267, it was ambushed by a squadron of ten Birds-of-Prey.
