The IKS Vor'cha (IKC-11500, also known as IKC or IKV Vor'cha, or IKS B'Err) was a Klingon Empire starship, the prototype Vor'cha-class attack cruiser (or battle cruiser) in Klingon Defense Force service in the late 24th century. Commissioned in the year 2362, the Vor'cha was commanded by Chancellor K'mpec in the 2360s decade. (ST reference: The Star Trek Encyclopedia, CCG set: Premiere, card: "I.K.C. Vor'Cha", Decipher RPG module: Starships)
Service history and disposition[]
In 2367, Vor'cha, along with IKS Vorn and IKS Buruk, met with the USS Enterprise-D to request the assistance of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who K'mpec would ask to be arbiter of succession. K'mpec died aboard the Vor'cha, poisoned by veridium 6, only days later. (TNG episode: "Reunion")
This ship remained in active service in the 2370s decade, around the year 2379. (ST video game: Starfleet Command III)
- No history or fate is established for this vessel in SFC3 as its name was randomly selected for a Vor'cha-class Klingon cruiser by the game software.

Background[]
While canon and the Premiere CCG materials surrounding the use of the model use the term "attack cruiser" for the ship's type, the Decipher RPG and SFC3 refers to this and other Vor'cha ships as "battle cruisers", and BotF as battleships. It is not clear if the terms were synonymous or if, at some point, some Vor'cha vessels were outfitted to fill service as a different ship type. Decipher's manual assigns the Vor'cha the name prefix "IKS", while BotF and the Star Trek Customizable Card Game use the IKC prefix and SFC3 uses IKV.
