IRW Haakona

The IRW Haakona was a Romulan warbird that was in service with the Romulan military in the mid-24th century. In 2365, the Haakona was under the command of Subcommander Taris.

In that year, the Haakona covertly downloaded logs from USS Yamato and then followed the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) to the planet Iconia. However, the warbird had acquired the same malevolent Iconian software transmission in the download as the Enterprise-D, and was experiencing similar system malfunctions, which Taris blamed on Starfleet sabotage. Nevertheless, on the warnings from the Enterprise-D the Haakona destroyed an Iconian probe before it could make a scan, prolonging its survival.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard escaped from the surface of Iconia onto the Haakona using an Iconian gateway, and was shortly after beamed back to the Enterprise-D. By that time, the program had activated the Haakona's self-destruct sequence. The Enterprise-D transmitted instructions on neutralizing the Iconian program to the Haakona before its departure, saving the Romulan vessel.
