IRW Haakona
Class:	D'deridex-class
Owner:	Romulan Star Empire
Operator:	Romulan military
Status:	Active (2365)

The IRW Haakona was a Romulan D'deridex-class warbird that was in service with the Romulan military in the mid-24th century. In 2365, the Haakona was under the command of Subcommander Taris.

In that year, the Haakona covertly downloaded logs from USS Yamato and then followed the USS Enterprise-D to the planet Iconia. However, the warbird had acquired the same malevolent Iconian software transmission in the download as the Enterprise-D, and was experiencing similar system malfunctions, which Taris blamed on Starfleet sabotage. Nevertheless, on the warnings from the Enterprise-D the Haakona destroyed an Iconian probe before it could make a scan, prolonging its survival.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard escaped from the surface of Iconia onto the Haakona using an Iconian gateway, and was shortly after beamed back to the Enterprise-D. By that time, the program had activated the Haakona's self-destruct sequence. The Enterprise-D transmitted instructions on neutralizing the Iconian program to the Haakona before its departure, saving the Romulan vessel. (TNG: "Contagion")
