| Description: |
Developed during the period following the border wars with the Gorn Confederacy, the Graffler Military Freighter replaced older freighters that served during those conflicts. The Graffler is equipped with two light blast beams and adequate shield defenses, which previous Romulan freighters lacked. The design was considered to be a major achievement at the beginning of its service, but the Graffler quickly proved to be underpowered for the amount of cargo capacity available on each hull.
The Romulan Star Empire ceased contracts on Graffler Military Freighter in 2250, but ships of the class continue to be produced for use in the civil sector. Romulan merchants servicing the worlds of the empire could often be found operating these older freighters. Large enough numbers of Graffler Military Freighters were constructed that they became as ubiquitous within Romulan territories as the Antares Bulk Freighter within Federation dominated areas.
