The Traitor's Claw was a Night's Breath-class police vessel in service to the Kzinti Patriarchy during the 23rd century. (Adventures RPG module: The Animated Series Supplemental Guide)

Service history and disposition[]

Chuft-Captain claimed to have commandeered Traitor's Claw for rogue operations, but the vessel actually served as a privateer vessel to locate hidden Slaver stasis boxes and acquire weapons of mass destruction for use in war.

In the year 2270, Traitor's Claw picked up a transmission from Director Shannon Masid at an archeology dig on Gruyakin VI announcing the discovery of a Slaver stasis box. Hastily departing the area to retrieve an old, empty stasis box, Traitor's Claw landed on a planetoid in the nearby Beta Lyrae system. The empty box would serve to lure whomever recovered the box on Gruyakin VI, a tactic preferable politically to assaulting the outpost directly. (TAS - Log Ten novelization: The Slaver Weapon)

The strategy succeeded, and Kzinti were able to secure captives Spock, Nyota Uhura, and Hikaru Sulu from the shuttlecraft Copernicus in a police web. Opening the stolen box, Chuft-Captain acquired an ancient Slaver weapon, finding that it contained a hidden setting to fire a total-conversion beam. The device's artificial intelligence realized it was possessed by a non-ally and gave him instructions to self destruct. When Chuft-Captain pulled the trigger, the weapon disintegrated everything with a 20-meter radius, killing all of the ship's personnel and wiping out a third of Traitor's Claw. (TAS episode & Log Ten novelization: The Slaver Weapon)

Starfleet later salvaged what was left of the vessel in order to assess Kzinti technological levels. (Adventures RPG module: The Animated Series Supplemental Guide)
