Notes : Very little is known about these ships; they appear to be light scout vessels, but have also been used as test beds for technology research projects. Admiral Jarok used a scoutship to cross the Neutral Zone during his defection in 2366; the Admiral set the ship to self-destruct before Federation personnel could board and inspect it, in order to prevent the Federation from learning about Romulan technology. Another scoutship was used by the Romulans to develop their phased cloaking device. This vessel suffered a catastrophic accident in  2368, killing many of the crew and initiating a warp core overload. The Enterprise-D rendered assistance to the ship, managing to eject its warp core in time to save the remaining crew and ship.
