The Qoj-class was a Klingon starship class, a type of dreadnought in service to various Great Houses of the Klingon Empire in the 2250s decade. (DSC episode: "Battle at the Binary Stars", The Official Starships Collection Issue Start Trek: Discovery: "DSC10")
History and specifications
The class name meant war in Klingonese. It was 1108.7 meters long. (ST Issue The Official Starships Collection: "Start Trek: Discovery" artwork)
This was one of four Klingon attack ship classes, all variants of the same basic spaceframe. Besides the Qoj, the other Klingon attack ship classes were bortaS bIr, Qaw' and veqlargh. The ship consisted of a spear-like elongated primary hull, framed by a pair of long, bulky and forward-facing warp nacelles with weapon ports. The nacelles and neck section were connected by a compact engineering hull marked with a circle and impulse engines at its stern. (ST Issue The Official Starships Collection: "DSC10")
The Qoj was a dreadnought, armed with disruptor beam arrays and photon torpedo launchers, and equipped with a strong tractor beam. A wing of Klingon raiders could be launched to aid in combat. (STO - Mirror of Discovery mission: "Peril Over Pahvo")
From 2256, ships of the class belonging to Great Houses loyal to Kol, son of Kol-Sha received a House of T'Kuvma cloaking device. (DSC episode: "Lethe")
Service history
Ships of the class were employed by the Klingon Great Houses by 2256. (DSC episode: "Battle at the Binary Stars")
Ships of this class were also used by Klingons of the mirror universe around the same time. (STO - Mirror of Discovery mission: "Peril Over Pahvo")
Several vessels of this class fought in the Federation-Klingon War of 2256-2257, beginning with the Battle of the Binary Stars in May 2256. (DSC episode: "Battle at the Binary Stars")
Ships of the class, including from a 2256-era mirror universe, were involved with transtemporal events instigated by Sylvia Tilly at Pahvo in 2410. The Qoj dreadnoughts acted as flagships for the attacking Klingon fleets. (STO - Mirror of Discovery mission: "Peril Over Pahvo")
