The IRW Khazara was a Romulan Template:ShipClass warbird that was in service in the late-24th century.

In 2369, the Khazara was under the command of Commander Toreth when it was ordered to transport Major Rakal of the Tal Shiar and a shipment of cargo to the Kaleb sector. The mission was in fact engineered by Ambassador Spock, to allow Vice-Proconsul M'ret and two of his aides to defect to the Federation. Subcommander N'Vek, Spock's operative on the Khazara, arranged for Deanna Troi to be surgically altered and assume Rakal's identity. The Khazara was to transfer its cargo to a Corvallen freighter, which would then rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D. Meanwhile, former Ensign Stefan DeSeve was sent to the Enterprise to inform Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the arrangements.

When the Khazara met the Corvallens, Troi sensed that they could not be trusted to fulfill their end of the agreement. Concerned that their mission might be exposed, N'Vek destroyed the freighter. Afterward, N'Vek convinced Troi to order the Khazara under cloak to Draken IV, a Federation planet. However, before they departed they encountered the Enterprise, who had detected the freighter's debris. Seeing an opportunity, Troi had N'Vek misalign one of the Khazara's nullifier cores, allowing the Enterprise to track them. To prevent Toreth from firing on the Enterprise after she notices the starship following them, Troi seizes command of the Khazara and contacts the Enterprise under the guise of launching a sneak attack. When the Enterprise shields dropped at Troi's request, N'Vek beamed M'ret and his aides to the Enterprise bridge by hiding a transporter beam inside a low-power disruptor beam. Toreth regained command of her vessel after she discovered the truth. N'Vek was killed, but Troi was beamed away by the Enterprise just as the Khazara engaged its cloak. (TNG: "Face of the Enemy")
