Same as all, dust collectors lol. I think they are for gaming as they're un-scaled but in-game, I've no idea mate, I just make-em.
But Memory Beta says...
The Venator-class starship is a vessel employed by the Romulan Star Empire that was operational in the 24th century.
The Venator was a new addition to the fleet and were intended to complement the feared Warbirds of the Romulan fleet. Though it was slightly smaller then the D'deridex-class, it was quite a powerful foe to face with its long range disruptor weaponry. (TNG video game: Armada II).
The Veles-class starship was a vessel employed by the Romulan Star Empire that was operational in the 24th century.
The Veles could be described as the protector of the Romulan fleet mainly due to a unique cloak projector that emanated from the vessel and would encompass a fleet. This essentially enhanced the cloaking ability of a fleet, allowing it to remain in such a state without a drain on power reserves. It was armed with four banks of plasma torpedoes as well as an array of disruptors which made it quite a formidable foe in battle. (TNG video game: Armada II)
A long ranged and medium sized cruiser, the B-8 War Frigate is equipped with a great amount of pulse armament and a tetryon torpedo. This allows it to deal a large amount of damage to your opponent’s small sized vessels. The vessel also comes standard with the Transporter Assault ability, which causes it to deplete a target’s shields, and thereupon begin to transport Jem’Hadar over to the vessel in question without lowering its own shields. If using this warship to capture enemy vessels, be sure to exclusively target weakly crewed vessels (such as most destroyers) while pounding the more powerful vessels with the normal weaponry. The Transporter Assault (or normal transport) set on high weapons autonomy can also be very useful when enemy vessels attempt to retreat and cloak, thereby dropping their shields. The B-8 War Frigate has powerful shields for being available in the early game and is a great fleet filler which can keep your own ships crewed. Note that it is rather difficult to retreat the B-8 as the majority of its firepower is forward firing.
