Klingon scout ship

Klingon scout ship was a designation given to a type of starship that was utilized by the Klingon Empire, which was typically used for scout missions.

In 2248, the Federation starship USS King Richard encountered several Klingon scout ships operating in the vicinity of Pakheth in violation of the treaty between the Empire and the Federation, and proceeded to engage them. (SS TOS (The Blaze of Glory))

In 2369, a Klingon scout ship visited Deep Space 9. The presence of the Klingons on the station put Chief of Security Odo on edge, and following the scouts departure, Commander Benjamin Sisko looked forward to telling him that he could relax.
