Well, I don’t buy that either… Put simply, any starship that can analyze particles of space dust in minute detail, could most definitely detect a Quantum Singularity and the power that the Romulan Core itself would be giving off… That being said, without that explanation, well, Scotty’s line doesn’t make much sense, as impulse power would not allow for the Bird of Prey to travel beyond the Romulan Star System, let alone in to Federation Space. Of course, many in fandom have had the same re-action about that line, and some even coming up with the explanation that it was a mistake by Scotty as the Romulans use a Quantum Singularity to power their warp core. Ive always been bothered by the starship to be honest, not because of it’s design because I love it, but simply because of Scotty’s line in Balance of Terror where he states the ship is only operating with Impulse Power. In today’s episode we’re continuing our look at the history of the Romulan Bird of Prey.
ROMULAN BIRD OF PREY SERIES
Hello and welcome to another episode of Truth OR Myth Beta Canon, a Star Trek web series that dives in to a the history of any given topic using Beta Canon sources and my own imagination to fill in the gaps. But thankfully, his successor was not as short sighted, and the Romulan Bird of Prey would blaze it’s mark across the Beta Quadrant, becoming one of the most feared starship designs of it’s time. With his back against the wall, the Praetor of the Romulan Empire would make a bad decision that would almost see the end to the Romulan Bird of Prey before it’s glorious history even began.
