BRAD'S COMMENTS:  A largish and (strangely for the Romulans) unarmed space platform, the F-2 is essentially a pint-sized spacedock facility, without the power or the superstructure.  Useful in gaming terms as neither a defense output or a mobile repair center, the F-2 of FASA design is little better than a plot piece for campaigns wherein the objective is to capture or destroy these stations in orbit around their host planets.  Because of their size, and because they might be as long-lived as other large space structures we have seen in Star Trek, I took the liberty of building out some extra stats for later versions of the F-2 which might prove more robust; and more interesting as playing items.

From the FASA Star Trek ROMULAN SHIP RECOGNITION MANUAL, circa 1985
F-2 (Nestar) class Repair Facility
Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use
Data Reliability: B
Major Data Source: Klingon Sector Intelligence
NOTES: The F-2, which first appeared along border areas on Stardate 1/8504 and has been found in increasing numbers ever since, is used to repair starships and is capable of complete construction operations. When the Romulan High Command made the commitment to ex- pand its defense posts, they made a similar commitment to create frontline construction and repair facilities, be- cause this capability would allow their ships to operate for longer periods of time in or near enemy sectors, giving a constant military presence there. The Type 1 facility was introduced into service about Stardate 1/85. The Type 7, introduced about Stardate 2/02, carried a slightly larger crew comple- ment, had increased passenger facilities, and mounted more powerful shielding systems. Although known as a mobile repairfacility, they are notcap- able of travelling any distance under their own power. They have only cor- rectional navigation thrusters that allow them to maintain whatever orbital pos- ition is necessary. Most actually have been built in place, though some have been transported to their present loca- tions. Of the approximately 90 built, most are still on station and functioning at normal capacity. An additional F-2was built in orbit around Freeman's Port in the Triangle; operated bya private con- cern, it takes advantage of that planet's port to draw customers. The class is named from the Romu- Ian narvasam stelas (nest of stars), in reference to its construction role in the Road to the Stars. .
