The Haakona was a Romulan D'deridex-class warbird that was in service with the Romulan military in the mid-24th century.
In 2365, Sub-Commander Taris was the commanding officer of this ship. In that year, the Haakona covertly downloaded logs from USS Yamato and then followed the USS Enterprise-D to the planet Iconia. However, the warbird had acquired the same malevolent Iconian software transmission in the download as the Enterprise-D, and was experiencing similar system malfunctions, which Taris blamed on Starfleet sabotage. Nevertheless, on the warnings from the Enterprise-D the Haakona destroyed an Iconian probe before it could make a scan, prolonging its survival.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard escaped from the surface of Iconia onto the Haakona using an Iconian gateway, and was shortly after beamed back to the Enterprise-D. By that time, the program had activated the Haakona's self-destruct sequence. The Enterprise-D transmitted instructions on neutralizing the Iconian program to the Haakona before its departure, saving the Romulan vessel. (TNG: "Contagion")

Background information[]
The computer voice of the Haakona was performed by an unknown actor.
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 66) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library ("Federation Historical Highlights, 2161-2385"), there was a binary system named Haakona, which might be the possible origin for the name of this starship, in the Beta Quadrant. This system consisted of a pair of G-class stars.
The Starships RPG sourcebook gives its registry as I.R.C 1952.
Taris and the Haakona's mission to Iconia play a part of the Federation and Romulan storylines in Star Trek Online. A class of ship in the game is also named after it, and is a successor to the D'deridex class with a separation mode based on stolen Prometheus class data.
