Description: The Firedrake was the Romulan designation for a type of cruiser fielded by the Taurhai Unity during the 24th century. (Ship Recognition Manual, Volume 5: Starships of the Romulan Star Empire)

The Firedrake was similar in design to the larger {Taurhai Star Dragon. It consisted of a 125 m long command hull and eight 25 m segments. The ship was able to separate it command hull and segments into "sub-ships". Unlike the larger vessels, which was more multi-roled the Firedrake was considered a purely military vessel and when not assigned to war fleets it was assigned to patrol duties defending the Unity's territory.

The Firedrake used a gravity induction drive while was capable of half a light year jumps and travelled at the speed of 6 light years per minute.
