IKS Ya'Vang

The IKS Ya'Vang (IKC-11553) was a K't'inga-class or Vor'cha Klingon starship in service in the 24th century. (Decipher RPG: Starships)

In 2374, the Ya'Vang took heavy casualties following an engagement with Dominion forces. In order to replenish the crew complement, the Ya'Vang took aboard a large contingent from the IKS Rotarran including Alexander Rozhenko. (DS9 episode: "You Are Cordially Invited...")

In 2379, the Ya'Vang, under the command of Captain Rota, was part of a fleet of sixty Klingon vessels sent to Tezwa after the destruction of a smaller fleet four hours before. The Ya'Vang was given the honor of being the first to attack, but just as they were about to strike, the USS Enterprise-E used the Klingon Fleet Command codes to gain control of the entire Klingon fleet completely shutting down power on the ships. The Ya'Vang, along with the rest of the fleet, was  guided to the edge of the system and then released. Alexander Rozhenko was still serving aboard the Ya'Vang at this time.
