D7 Class StarshipIn The Original Series of the Star Trek universe at least three starships of the Klingon D-7 class were given to the Romulan Star Empire as part of a brief alliance with the Klingon Empire against the Federation. The Romulans refited the D-7s in their service with cloaking devices. It is unknown what other modifications the Romulans made but the non-canon Starfleet Battles table top wargame and the Starfleet Command PC games inspired by it speculate that the Romulans also equipped these vessels with plasma torpedoes, the highly destructive plasma weapon introduced by the Romulan Bird of Prey. It is generally assumed that the Klingons acquired their cloaking technology which appeared with the Bird of Prey in from the Romulans and that it was in exchange for the starships given to the Romulans as well as warp drives superior to those used by the Romulans previously. Starfleet Battles speculates that the Romulans purchased more than just D-7 class starships and that Klingon ships with Romulan cloaking devices and armaments were used to supplement the Romulans' powerful but overall inferior vessels such as their Bird of Prey until a new generation of ships built with the new technologies acquired from the Klingons could be fielded in significant numbers. Romulan D-7 Battlecruisers were distinct from their Klingon counter parts by the addition of a cosmetic red feather pattern on the underside of the main hull.
