The GHS Khaimas, also known as the IKS Khaimas, was a 25th century Gorn starship, a tier 6 Khaimas-class multi-mission reconnaissance starship and prototype of its class, in Gorn Hegemony and Klingon Imperial Defense Force service in the 2410s decade. (STO - Reckoning mission: "First City")
Service history and disposition[]
Tactical MMSVs.
The Khaimas was one of nine prototype starships co-developed by the Khitomer Alliance based on the Federation Vesta-class multi-mission explorer. The Gorn, being among the Klingon Empire's premier scientists, adapted the Khaimas specifically from Starfleet's Aventine-class explorer and commissioned the resulting prototype for KDF use early in the year 2410. It was the first Gorn and Klingon ship equipped with a radiation bombardment matrix.
Its sister ships were the Ahgamas-class GHS Aghamas and Ihgomas-class GHS Ihgomas. (STO website: Reckoning: T6 Multimission Explorers Stats!)
From 24111 onward, the Khaimas represented its class in the Starfleet Shipyards Operations interface. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
Khitomer Alliance flag officer in, or aligned with, Starfleet, deployed Khaimas for missions around the galaxy's four quadrants as part of the four-quadrant strategy. (STO - Klingon War mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock", admiralty system)
