The Khaimas class was a 25th century Gorn starship type, a tier 6 multi-mission reconnaissance vessel class in Gorn Hegemony and Klingon Imperial Defense Force service in the 2410s decade. (STO website: Reckoning: T6 Multimission Explorers!)
Technical specifications[]
Tactical MMSVs.
The blunt hull with a tapering bow was reminiscent of some 23rd century Gorn starship classes, like the MA12 class and CS6 class. (FASA RPG module: Demand of Honor)
For operations in interstellar space, this class was fitted with Mk. X-rated equipment. It achieved sublight propulsion with a standard impulse engine. The warp drive was powered by a matter anti-matter warp core. Like all Khitomer Alliance ships of the line in the 2410s, this class could operate with transwarp and a quantum slipstream drive.
Protection from matter particles was provided by a standard deflector array. The Khaimas-class being a science vessel type, the deflector was augmented by a secondary deflector, specifically a deteriorating secondary deflector Mk. X.
While in service to the Klingon Defense Force, the shuttlebay hosted Toron-class shuttles by default. (STO - Reckoning mission: "First City")
Weapons[]
Except for its dual heavy cannons, which were rated Mk. XII, the default weapons of a Khaimas-class starship were rated mark X. The three fore weapons consisted of Mk. XII aux disruptor dual heavy cannons a disruptor beam array and a photon torpedo launcher. The three aft weapons were a pair of disruptor beam arrays and a single photon torpedo launcher. (STO - Reckoning mission: "First City")
Additional systems[]
For support in hostile engagements, this class hosted a single hangar bay. During combat, the hangar could deploy one wing of Gorn heavy fighters. These were equivalent to Starfleet Danube-class and Romulan Republic Navy Kestrel-class runabouts.
As a science vessel, this class could use sensor analysis to identify structural weaknesses in an opponent.
A radiation bombardment matrix console enabled the Khaimas class to perform radiation bombardment. (STO - Reckoning mission: "First City")

- Gorn ship classes in STO are named after real and mythic reptiles. The closest equivalent to Khaimas is the caimanWP, an alligatorid crocodile.
