In starship classification, the light battlecruiser was a designation for a nimble, combat-oriented starship geared fro engineering assignments. The classification was formalised by the Klingon Defense Force in 2410s decade. (STO website: Escalation s: The Advanced Light Cruiser Bundle, Advanced Light Cruiser Bundle Stats!)

History and specifications[]

The Klingon Empire cooperated with the other Khitomer Alliance powers in developing new advanced light cruisers for their fleets in the year 2410. The Klingon Defense Force adapted the QeHpu'-class into a light battlecruiser. Outfitted as a battlecruiser, it used light cruiser technology to remain nimble. (STO - Escalation mission: "The Hunt is On")

The QeHpu' class had been in service since the 2390s decade. (STO Issue 04: "IKS Bortasqu'")

The Dominion deployed a tier 6-rated Jem'Hadar light battlecruiser. (STO website: Victory Is Life : Stats of the DS9 Lock Box and Lobi Store Ships!)
