The Aye Mosaram Cruiser is a light cruiser designed to support heavier Romulan ships in combat. Equipped with a plasma mortar and cloaking device, the Aye Mosaram packs enough firepower to ably take on enemy cruisers. The agility of the Aye Mosaram, too, makes it perfect for hunting down larger, slower cruisers belonging to the Klingon and Federation navies.
The class is named for a meteorological disturbance peculiar to Remus. As described in The Eridam Papers, twice per Remus year, a hot wind blows across the northern hemisphere for as long as five days. Mineral particles from the western cliffs are borne aloft by the winds, and, at night, their phosphorescense causes the hemisphere-wide nightglow that gives the weather phenomenon its name aye mosaram (white wind).
