The Romulan warbird was one of the starships the Romulan Empire used in the 22nd century.
It was possible to use a tachyon pulse to weaken the shields of such a vessel. Two of these ships were modified to become Romulan drone ships by installing a remote control. This allowed the ships to be controlled from Romulus. However, because of their origin, they could be easily identified if scanned by Vulcans. (ENT: "Babel One", "United", "The Aenar")
In 2007 the Pocket ENT novel The Good That Men Do named this ship class as the T'Liss-class bird of prey. In 2023, PIC: "The Bounty" differently and canonically designated this name for the 23rd century Romulan Bird-of-Prey which debuted in TOS: "Balance of Terror".
