Is the bird of prey Klingon or Romulan?

Romulan ship
As originally conceived, the Klingon variant of the Bird-of-Prey was actually a Romulan ship; the script of Star Trek III at first called for the film’s main villains to be Romulans using a Romulan Bird-of-Prey, as had been typical of Bird-of-Prey use in Star Trek: The Original Series.

Why are Romulan ships green?

All Warbird-era Romulan military vessels are painted green. The reason for this is that green is the colour of Romulan blood (unlike human blood, which is iron-based and is coloured iron-rust red when oxygenated, Romulan blood, like Vulcan and Rigellian blood, is copper-based and is green when oxygenated).

Is it Klingon Bird of Prey or Warbird?

Braga had explained the use of the term Warbird for Klingon ships in Broken Bow as a writing error, and Abrams presumably was using the term to follow Enterprise continuity. So those are the real world explanations of why Both Romulans and Klingons have Birds of Prey, and Romulans, Remans, Klingons have Warbirds.

What do Romulans call their ships?

Originally, “Warbird” was a name for the Romulan capital ships, such as the D’deridex class that first appeared in TNG: “The Neutral Zone”. In more recent years, however, Trek writers and producers customarily use “warbird” as an umbrella term for any Romulan (and even Klingon!) ships.

Why are Romulan and Klingon ships similar?

Not counting shuttles, transport vessels or bases, Klingon and Romulan ships have a very similar basis in their shapes. They also share the same colors.

Are Klingon and Romulan ships the same?

Klingons have ships called Birds of Prey, and Romulans have a ship called the Warbird. If this were the Vulcans and Romulans, sure, that kinda tracks. They’re cousin species after all, so having similar ideologies makes sense.

Why are Klingon and Romulan ships similar?

These war vessels all share the name “bird” or are shaped like birds, meaning that they have a bridge (birdhead) at the front and their wings at the back.
