A Klingon scout vessel was a class of Klingon starship used by the Imperial Defense Force in the 23rd century.

History and specifications[]

They were visually very similar to the D7-class but about a third the size with a shorter neck. A Federation Starfleet Constitution-class starship as of the 2260s decade would outgun one of the scouts by a factor of forty percent.

They are armed with disruptor arrays and magnetic pulse weapons.

In the year 2267, the IKS Vortha, a vessel of this class, was patrolling space at the edge of Klingon space near Organia. It detected the USS Enterprise making an approach to Organia and set an intercept course. After scoring two direct hits with little effect the Enterprise raised shields and destroyed the Vortha. (ST - Klingons - Blood Will Tell comic: "Against Their Nature"; TOS episode: "Errand of Mercy")

The fact that the IKS Vortha is not a D7 class vessel is specified in the English script of the Klingon language edition of "Against Their Nature". Visually, the two classes are almost entirely indistinguishable. The Vortha was originally and unseen assailant in the episode "Errand of Mercy", in the 2007 remastered version of the episode a distant view of a D7 like vessel is shown, given the similar designs this could easily pass for the smaller class described in the comic. There is a minor inconsistency in that in the episode the ship fires a magnetic pulse at the Enterprise whilst in the comic it uses more standard disruptors.

The remastered version of "Friday's Child" replaces a previously indistinct Klingon scout with a D7 like vessel, this could also be a member of this smaller D7 like scout class.

One likely candidate for this class is the D3-class destroyer from the computer game Legacy.
