Editing Bird-of-Prey (section)

==Background==
The term "Bird-of-Prey" was first referenced on Enterprise in "Sleeping Dogs", and may have been implied to be the "two ships approaching at high warp" at the end of that episode. An earlier reference made in "Broken Bow" to "a fleet of warbirds" might have originally intended to be a reference to the Bird-of-Prey. 

The design of this CGI model was inspired by Nilo Rodis's Klingon Bird-of-Prey, which first appeared in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. At that time the "Bird-of-Prey" designation was originally believed to be a Romulan term that was adopted by the Klingons in the late 23rd century. With the appearance of ships of this name in use by both Klingons and Romulans during the 2150s, the "in-universe" origin of the term is much more obscure.
