You have to remember that the villain in the last movie wasn't part of the Romulan military, but was a miner. So his ship would be a lot different from what we have usually seen. I don't want to go into too much detail for fear of spoiling the plot for anyone who hasn't seen it but there was no way he [the villain] could have gotten hold of a bird of prey
and have the story make sense.

The last movie did an excellent job of laying the groundwork for a new series or, more likely, movies because of the explicitly changed timeline. Can't say I liked the Romulans though (Bird of prey! Not an f'ing squid of prey).
