    How could we have Kerasimage, "The Romulan Commander," without the ship he commanded? The very first Romulan ship seen in Star Trek, named the Gal Gath'thong after the firefalls on Romulus, sports the prototype cloaking device. While it's the slowest Romulan ship available, with so-so SHIELDS of 6, its WEAPONS are respectable at 7, and RANGE and SHIELDS are easy to enhance with Plasmadyne Relayimages.

    All of its attributes can of course be boosted by Keras with Captain's Logimage and Defiant Dedication Plaqueimage. And you won't even need a Ready Room Doorimage to download Keras - just use the special download of any Romulan The Original Series personnel, who will also fulfill the staffing requirement of just one Alternate Universe icon. Or use that Ready Room Door and save the special download for The Centurionimage.

    Combos:

    • Gal Gath'thong + Crew Reassignmentimage: Report any Alternate Universe Romulan aboard, even while cloaked.
    • Gal Gath'thong + Phased Cloaking Deviceimage: The phasing cloak not only provides superior protection from assorted hazards, but also a welcome +4 RANGE.
