Although not noted for using many Carriers, and having slightly substandard Fighters, a Romulan Carrier group is a truly dangerous adversary. Since Fighters and Fast Patrol ships can be launched while employing the Cloaking Device, the Romulans are able to employ tactics with their Carrier Groups not unsable by many other races. In addition, the Romulans do not have to compromise the safety of their carrier when launching a strike. PFs and Fighters can guide their own Plasma Torpedoes, making a 24 Fighter and 6 PF engagement, 36 or better plasma alpha strike, backed up by phasers, an economical way to deliver heavy hit.

Additionally, Romulan PFs have their own Cloaking Devices, allowing them to penetrate enemy defenses better a survive more often than many other PFs. This very fact sets the Romulans apart from many other races in terms of their Carrier Battle Group Doctrines. PFs present a unique problem to opposing Navies in terms of fighter defense. They are very fast, difficult to destroy, pack a very heavy punch, elusive, and unpreditable. They just may be, the games ultimate Electronic Warfare Fighter.
