Changes: Decius (starship)

Revision as of 05:54, 5 November 2015

The IRW Decius was a holographic Romulan D'deridex-class warbird. The starship hologram was created for a holoprogram of a fictional future by Barash for Commander William T. Riker in 2367. In the program, that took place in 2383, the Decius transported Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, Deanna Troi, and Ambassador Tomalak to the USS Enterprise-D to conclude treaty negotiations for an alliance. (TNG: "Future Imperfect")

According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, the Decius was named after the overzealous Romulan officer Decius seen in the original series episode "Balance of Terror".

According to the script for this episode, the pronunciation for Decius was "DEE-see-us". [1]
