Theta 116 survey[]

Theta8

Theta VIII.

In the year 2365, a Klingon cruiser passed the Theta 116 star system and performed a sensor sweep. The Klingons detected spacecraft debris in orbit of Theta VII, and notified the Federation of the discovery, moving on in their course without further investigation. (TNG episode: "The Royale")

The cruiser went unnamed and had no further description in the script or episode. At the time the episode was produced, only the D7-class and the Klingon bird-of-prey had been seen onscreen in canon, and both had been shown in previous TNG episodes as the K't'inga-class D7 seen in TNG episode: "Heart of Glory" and the K'Vort-class bird-of-prey seen in TNG episode: "A Matter of Honor". In the expanded scope of non-canon licensed works, there were dozens of additional Klingon cruiser classes in service in the 2360s decade, most (if not all) originating from the FASA RPG.
