The B’rel Cruiser looks very similar to a Bird of Prey at first glance, but it is in fact much larger (three times the length and 25 times the volume). It is equipped with 8 disruptor cannons and 6 photon torpedo launchers and has a crew complement of 390. In 2365, Commander Riker of the USS Enterprise-D became the first Starfleet officer to serve aboard a Klingon vessel when he became first officer of the B’rel-class IKS Pagh as part of an officer exchange program. The B’Rel is still in service. <u><i>((1, 9))</i></u> <br><br> | The B’rel Cruiser looks very similar to a Bird of Prey at first glance, but it is in fact much larger (three times the length and 25 times the volume).

The Vor’Cha Attack Cruiser was first fielded in 2347 and was the largest ship in the Klingon fleet at the time. It has 15 disruptor cannons, four photon torpedo launchers, and a crew of 1,900. A Vor’Cha was the flagship of the Imperial Fleet until the introduction of the Negh’Var battleship in 2368. <u><i>((1, 10))</i></u> <br><br> | The Vor’Cha Attack Cruiser was first fielded in 2347 and was the largest ship in the Klingon fleet at the time.

The Negh’Var Battleship is a staggeringly large starship. It can carry 10,000 troops in addition to its crew complement of 2,500. The Negh’Var transports the troops to a planet using large numbers of landing craft and more than 30 personnel transporters. It has 20 disruptor cannons and eight photon torpedo launchers. The Negh’Var is not very maneuverable, so its main disruptor batteries are generally only used against large space stations and planetary installations. <u><i>((1, 11))</i></u> <br><br> | The Negh’Var Battleship is a staggeringly large starship.

Klingon Starship Classes and Historyby Eric Schulman The Klingon Empire has had nine major starship classes since the early 22nd Century. Klingons do not quickly discard starship designs that work well for them. Of the six Klingon starship classes first commissioned in the 22nd or 23rd Centuries, only one was in the fleet for less than 100 years. That class (the D-4 Bird of Prey) was replaced by a similar class (the D-11 Bird of Prey) within a decade. ((1,2)) Sources
