Editing D7 Class Battle Cruiser (section)

==Physical arrangement==

The D7 class was almost predatory in its appearance, with a spread-wing primary hull, long neck and head-like command pod. The early Romulan variants had a large bird-of-prey design painted on the hull, identical to what was found on the [[Bird-of-Prey]]. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident") Other Romulan D7s had red and yellow feather-like detailing painted on the upper wing and nacelle pylon. (TAS: "The Survivor", "The Practical Joker")

:'''The D7 bird-of-prey paintings have only appeared in the D7s of the remastered version of "The Enterprise Incident".''' 

The bulk of the ships overall mass was incorporated in the aft section of the ship. The bridge was located on the bulbous head, which was separated from the aft section by a relatively thin neck that flared out into the wings. Jutting from below these wings were a pair of outboard warp [[nacelle]]s. The ship's [[impulse Engines]] were located on the caudal section of the ship. (TOS: "Elaan of Troyius")

This design had evolved from a classic design lineage dating back well into the 22nd century with the early [[D5 Class Battle Cruiser]]s. (ENT: "Judgment") In terms of dimensions, it was comparable in size to the Federation's [[Constitution Class]] [[starship]]. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident")
