COMMENTS: Hat tip to Todd, who took the time and trouble to put this page together!  Todd sez: The ship recognition guide stats for this vessel show one warp engine while there are clearly two nacelles in the illustration, the stats have been modified accordingly. And who'd have thought they'd attach so much darn backstory to a class one shuttle with no weapons and one superstructure point.

From the FASA Star Trek ROMULAN SHIP RECOGNITION MANUAL, circa 1985
H-5 (Ras Lovah) Class I Warp Shuttle
Known Sphere of Operation:  Empire-wide use
Data Reliability: A 
Major Data Source: Types 1 and 3 have been examined by Starfleet personnel; Triangle sector intelligence.
    The H-5 warp shuttle, one of the most common types found in the Romulan Empire, is used to transport passengers and act as a courier. Although its exterior
dimensions would make it seem to have a roomy interior, it really is very cramped because of its large cargo bay. Its small crew and passenger quarters reportedly
make the ship unpopular with travelers and crews alike; when it is used as a courier, the crew are said to occupy the unused staterooms. Named for an early explorer
of Romulus, this craft perpetuates the tradition that adventurers and explorers neither live nor travel in comfort. Because of  Romulan need to conserve resources, and
because it is unnecessary to maintain an armament systems for vessels that are only exposed to the hazards of the border areas for only a brief period, these ships
are unarmed.
    The Type 3 appears to have completely replaced the Type 1s within the fleet, but some Type 1s still remain in reserve fleets. The newer model has a more powerful
warp engine and impulse engine, making operation of the ship more efficient. The Type 2 appears to have been a failure.
    Of the 1,300 H-5s built, about 800 serve in the fleet, about 100 in reserve fleets, and 300 or so have been lost or destroyed. Best estimates show 86 Type 1s and 22
Type 3s operating in the civil sector; two Type 1s operate exclusively in the Triangle.
