The Ber'taa-class was an unsuccessful class of advanced heavy cruisers used briefly by the Klingon Defense Force.
As of 2287, the vessel was a prototype vessel being developed by Klingon engineers. Starfleet Intelligence had acquired data on the cruiser and a simulation of it was made available for testing by Starfleet cadets such as David Forester and his command crew. The Ber'taa was apparently designed to outmatch the Constitution and D7-class heavy cruisers that dominated starship operations in the late 23rd century, and was at least a serious rival to the brand-new Excelsior-class ships just entering service, if not being superior to them in combat potential.
Perhaps due to the expense of the vessel or sheer resources needed to build the cruiser, the vessel was rarely seen in service. (SA video game: Starfleet Academy)
