     The Cuirass Class heavy frigate is one of the first in the next generation of Romulan starships. 
  Inspired largely by the Federation’s Intrepid Class (and some say built with stolen Federation 
  technology), the Cuirass is designed to reach trouble spots quickly, with enough firepower to 
  resolve most problems. 
     Although Romulan design philosophy of the last several decades called for larger and more 
  powerful vessels, the Cuirass Class is a compact, powerful ship with a relatively small crew. 
  Additionally, her corridors and compartments are wide and far more spacious than is the norm 
  for a Romulan vessel.    
     Despite their heavy weapons fit, the Cuirass class also has a respectable science contingent, 
  securing their classification as multi-purpose starships.
     As a Flight IIa modification, the Talus has been fitted with an additional bank of plasma 
  torpedoes on an experimental basis.
