The first Klingon BoP in the movie was originally a stolen Romulan prototype in an earlier draft.
Wasn’t it the show where this came up?
Didn’t they settle on Klingons borrowing the design.
EDIT: I have a memory of my grandfather saying Romulans gave it to Klingons.
I always thought the Romulans would have looked great with a decent mullet.
Everyone looks good in a mullet. It’s time society recognized this again.
It’s Australia’s national hair style. We’ve been rocking the mullet for decades.
Well they formerly were allies if I remember the canon correctly and only after the shared development of the war bird did they politically drift apart and become enemies. Time traveling Tasha Yar played a part in all that.
Unrelated, but while they’re obviously referring to raptors, most birds are birds of prey, at least partly. Condors not so much, they’re birds of carrion. But hummingbirds prey on small flying bugs, tits eat critters in bushes, chickens prey on lizards, snakes, rodents and each other. Penguins are fearsome birds of prey!
