Birok class

The Birok class strike cruiser was deployed by the Klingon Defense Force in the 24th century (and possibly earlier).

As strike cruisers, Biroks lacked the firepower and endurance of full battlecruisers, but in packs or supporting heavier ships they could be quite effective.

Birok class vessels took part in a number of skirmishes against Cardassian ships during the Betreka Nebula Incident, and continued service through the Dominion War and its aftermath. By the 2370s, however, the design was dated and the Biroks were being replaced with a more modern strike cruiser design.
