Or the Romulan ship might have been destroyed, along with other props, when they thought the series was cancelled after season 2.

Have any Star Trek producers or staff members ever spoken about this? Why go through this extra effort instead of just using Warbird models for the FX shots? Unfortunately for the Romulans, this came at the cost of very low speed and limited range. (In fact, after this episode, real Klingons or Romulans only appear in Day of the Dove and the "alliance" is never referenced.) This, and the need to explain it, seem totally superfluous. Romulan Bird of Prey Specs Size Comp Notes One of the most interesting designs of the 2260's, this vessel was designed to combine a very high level of firepower with stealth, small size and manoeuvrability.

Alan Sinclair TOS Enterprise: Constitution Class Starship U.S.S. It's the first reference we witness of any connection between Romulans and Klingons. In The Enterprise Incident we see Romulans using Klingon ships (or Klingon designs for their own ships). I'm interested, strictly, in the decisions made by the producers. I DO NOT want any in-universe explanations or answers for this. ![]()
