The Shadow class was a type of Romulan starship in operation in the late 24th century.
This class of vessel was only present for the elite of the Romulan Star Empire's forces; namely the Tal Shiar who's operations required a vessel more suited for covert operations. Their secretive nature meant that the Shadow class cruisers contained the most advanced technology available, which was all classified to such an extent that members of the Romulan Senate were not 'officially' aware of the vessels existence. They were equipped with weapons to protect itself in battle.
Considering who controls such class of vessels, the Shadow class were known to carry several experimental technology that were not available within the Romulan fleet. A psychonic generator was installed that would be fired from the deflector dish that was capable of piercing the shields of a ship and killing the crew within. While an efficient energy convertor was present within the ship that allowed it to convert the ships own energy reserves to reinforce the shields of friendly vessels. Furthermore, the ship showcased the Romulan attempts at holographic technology which was in the form of a holoemitter that was capable of altering the sensor profiles of enemy ships which would bring enemy ships firing on each other as they believed each other to be enemies. Finally, a working Interphase generator was present on the ship that allowed it to move, while cloaked, through matter by phasing by solid objects..

The Shadow class fighter is based on the Excalibur-103, designed by Vanessa Lucifel and Ashley Morgan. Originally designed as a reconnaissance craft. Its potential as a fighter were equated with its speed, and maneuverability. In 2378, a push to build more of these craft was made by various squadron commanders. In 2382 they effectively replaced the Peregrine-class as the premier fighter for Starfleet. (Star Trek: Generation Fleet)
In her original configuration, the Shadow-class was a one seat vessel. She was used to sneak pass Borg ships to plant mines to destroy a Borg transwarp hub. Equipped with a limited range warp drive, she can sustain Warp 9.75 for 5 minutes before depleting her deuterium. After her successful mission, she was converted to a 2 seats and given additional space for deuterium, extending her range to 15 minutes. She was also given 2 specialized mission bays, to carry conventional bombs, missiles, and probes.
By 2378 her appearances would increase, and she was the talk of all pilots. Her maneuverability made her a dream, as well as her stealthy low profile, and small signature left her undetectable. By 2381 the Shadow class had replaced all Peregrine class fighters throughout the fleet.
