Type I Melak Class Warbird
Type II Deridex Class Warbird
Type III Norexan Class Warbird
--------------------------------------------------

Description
-------------------------
Melak: The first Romulan vessel to be given the title of Warbird. The Melak was the equivalent of the Federation Ambassador; though some would argue they weren’t as powerful, those recorded incidents usually favoured the Melak over the federation counterpart.
Deridex: Nearly twice the length of a Galaxy-class starship, the D’Deridex Class Warbird is a common site along the Romulan boarder, and a formidable opponent in battle. Able to match, and even overpower a Vor’cha Class Attack Cruiser, or a Galaxy Class Starship with comparative ease.
Norexan: The latest development by the Romulan Star Empire. The Norexan is the third vessel to bear the name ‘Warbird’. Armed with pulse and phase disruptors, along with a cloaking device, makes these starships a unique adversary in any situation. For her size, the Norexan is also quite agile.

Details
-------------------------
- Created originally for SFC, the segments and textures came between 10-15 parts for model.
The model was taken apart piece by piece, textures were then applied to several plain 512x512 bases, then remapped individually to each specific mesh component. The textures were then combined, as was the model, thus reducing the number of texture sets, and mesh segments for the model.
