Why The Romulan Scout is Actually Genius

Today we take a closer look at the Romulan Scoutship first appearing in TNGs "The Defector" and later as a science variant in "The Next Phase". these two small appearances tell us a lot about this humble vessel and its place in the Romulan fleet.
While its Dominion war career was less than impressive. its near two decades of dutiful service behind the borders of the Romulan Star Empire tell a different story....
Special thanks to the 4th Combined fleet for the STO renders.
