K'vort class

Template:ShipInfobox The K'vort-class (or K'Vort-class) was a type of Klingon Bird-of-Prey light cruiser starship in Imperial Defense Force service in the 24th century. (TNG episode: "Yesterday's Enterprise", RPG sourcebook: Starships)

The K'Vort was similarly used as a patrol and pursuit craft in the mirror universe, by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. By the 2370s, the K'Vort was one of the most common and expendable vessels in Regent Worf's fleet. (DS9 episodes; CCG: Mirror, Mirror)

History

The K'vort class was developed out of the highly successful B'rel class, and is essentially just a much larger version of the same design (Reference Book: Starship Spotter).

Despite its success, the class began to fall into obscurity towards the end of the 24th century following the introduction of more advanced cruisers such as the Vor'cha class.

Features

Like its smaller ancestor, the K'vort class is fitted with a pair of wing-mounted disruptor cannons, a photon torpedo launcher and a cloaking device.
