The '''''Narada''''' was a [[Romulan]] [[mining vessel]] that was in service in the late [[24th century]]. In [[2387]], the ''Narada'' was [[commanding officer|commanded]] by [[Nero]]; his second-in-command was [[Ayel]]. It was transported back in time to [[2233]] through a black hole after the destruction of [[Romulus]], where it created an [[alternate reality]] by destroying the {{USS|Kelvin}}.

The ''Narada'' emerged from the black hole, 75,000 [[kilometer]]s from the edge of [[Klingon]] space, in the year [[2233]], creating an [[alternate reality]]. There, the ''Narada'' encountered and [[Attack on the USS Kelvin|attacked]] the {{USS|Kelvin}}, easily overpowering the [[Federation]] [[starship]]. With no options left, [[Lieutenant]] {{alt|George Kirk}} (in command of the ''Kelvin'' after Nero [[murder|killed]] its captain, [[Richard Robau]]) gave the order to abandon ship. To save the lives of those evacuating in [[shuttle]]s, Kirk rammed the ''Kelvin'' into the ''Narada''. Although the ''Narada'' sustained enough damage to ensure the safety of the ''Kelvin'' evacuees, the ship was still operational.

{{bginfo|The scans the ''Kelvin'' took of the ''Narada''{{'}}s 24th century technology (that went with the survivors on the shuttles) were used by 23rd century Starfleet to reverse engineer the more "advanced" technology seen in the alternate timeline, according to a post by ''Star Trek'' screenwriter [[Roberto Orci]] on Ain't It Cool News. [http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41001] Director [[J.J.

A convoy of [[Klingon warbird]]s eventually arrived and captured the ship and its crew. Twenty five years later, Nero and his crew escaped from their imprisonment on [[Rura Penthe]], reclaimed the ''Narada'', used the ship to destroy 47 Klingon warbirds, and continued on their mission.

[[2258|Twenty five years later]], the ''Narada'' was involved in an attack on a [[Klingon prison planet]] and the destruction of [[47]] [[Klingon warbird]]s. Shortly thereafter, the ''Jellyfish'', with Spock aboard, emerged from the black hole and was immediately captured by the ''Narada''. The ''Narada'' then left for {{alt|Vulcan}} and drilled a hole into the [[planet]], all the way to its [[planetary core|core]]. When the [[Federation]] sent a [[fleet]] to Vulcan to investigate the [[earthquake|seismic disturbance]], the ''Narada'' destroyed the small fleet shortly before the {{USS|Enterprise|alternate reality}} arrived. The crew of the ''Enterprise'' successfully stopped the drill, but were unable to stop Nero from injecting [[red matter]] from the ''Jellyfish'' into the core, creating a black hole which quickly consumed the planet.

Despite being only a mining vessel in its own time, the ''Narada'' possessed weaponry far more advanced than that of any ships it encountered in the 23rd century. The primary weapons seemed to be highly destructive [[missile]]s, each of which could break into several component projectiles. These projectiles were powerful enough to penetrate the standard [[shield]]ing which starships of the time utilized. The Narada housed at least enough of these weapons to easily destroy entire fleets of ships; more than fifty vessels were destroyed over twenty-five years, including a fleet of [[Federation]] starships deployed against it over Vulcan and six of the seven Federation ships sent to investigate Nero's attack on that planet.

As a mining vessel, the ''Narada'' also had an immense drilling apparatus, which was a platform at the end of a lengthy boom seemingly hundreds of kilometers long. The drill emitted a powerful beam that could penetrate a planet's surface and continue all the way to its core. The high energy output from the beam itself also acted as a disruptor of sorts, causing localised interferance in communications and beaming [[transporter]] signals.

With the ''Jellyfish'' in its possession, the ''Narada'' could also deploy bombs loaded with incredibly destructive red matter.

=== Background information ===
The ''Narada'' was designed by [[James Clyne]]. Production designer [[Scott Chambliss]] wanted the ship to be assymetrical, in contrast to the "perfect symmetry" of the ''Enterprise''. Chambliss contemplated "the scariest thing in space" and looked to a kitchen knife, imagining "500 ''gigantic'' knife-edge points". "That's how the Romulan ship developed, with a kitchen knife and the twisted imagination of James Clyne," he said. During development, the ship was referred to as "Hanson's Ranch" to keep its name secret. (''[[Star Trek - The Art of the Film]])''

In the ''Star Trek'' prequel comic book miniseries ''[[Star Trek: Countdown]]'', the ''Narada''{{'}}s advanced weaponry and appearance are explained as being the result of the ship being retrofitted with salvaged and reverse-engineered [[Borg]] technology. The [[Tal Shiar]] in the 24th century had been experimenting with Borg technology, and Nero's ship was the [[Prototype|experimental]] vessel used. The ''Narada'' was retrofitted at the Vault, a cloaked military installation in deep space, subsequent to the destruction of Romulus. The Borg [[nanoprobe]]s allowed the ship to grow and repair itself, and also take on a much larger and more menacing appearance. The ship's speed was increased from Warp 9.8 to "...immeasurable transwarp speeds." This information also appeared on the Blu-ray release of the film in the supplement section "Starships."

The Borg connection paid off in the sequel to ''Countdown'', ''[[Star Trek: Nero]]''. After Nero escapes from [[Rura Penthe]] – the "[[Klingon prison planet]]" – the ''Narada'' takes him to ''[[V'Ger]]'', which Nero uses to calculate where Spock will arrive.
