* Here's another old one for you guys to chew on... The original D7 Klingon battle cruiser from TOS... There's nothing like a good packet of blueprints and manuals... K L I N G O N W A R S H I P CLASS ONE CODE D MK VII BACKGROUND & CLASS LISTING Background Of "Klolode" Class: Around Sd 3900, Star Fleet Intelligence began getting indications that the Klingon Fleet was involved in the construction and testing of a new battle- cruiser design. Intelligence intercepts subsequently revealed the configur- ation and component producers for the new "Klolode" class, as well as the Imperial Planning Council's original projections for construction of twenty ships. The existence of a completed "Klolode" class vessel was not verified until Sd 4014.40 when a surveillance drone launched from the Gamma Three Station near Donatu intercepted a coded transmission from the battlecruiser "Gortuk." The name and identification code of this vessel matched those of the third battlecruiser scheduled for completion. Visual transmissions from the drone verified that this was one of the newly designed warships. The first contact with one of the vessels came on Sd 4201.71 when the starship "Constellation" (NCC-1017) discovered an intruder in the Sauran star system in Federation space. An indecisive battle followed, resulting in minor damage to "Constellation" and a hasty retreat to Klingon space for the battle- cruiser, which bore the designation "Atropos" on its hull. As a result of the close observation afforded by the battle, much valuable data concerning the new ship's capabilities and general battleworthiness was obtained. Above all else, it was found to be extremely warp dynamic. Low mass allowed for rapid development of OCM necessary for warp entry. The vessel's extremely smooth hull reflected the then-prevalent view among Klingon designers regarding the balancing of deflector/force field capabilities and warp dynamic qualities. (Subsequent Klingon advances in warp technology have allowed great- er shielding without sacrifice of speed, as first evidenced in the "K't'inga" design). As ships of this class aged the Klingons began selling some of the older ones to the Romulans in exchange for the right to buy their newly-developed cloaking generators. Starship "Enterprise" confirmed suspicions to this effect on Sd 6215.43 when it encountered a pack of three of the "Klolode" class ves- sels under Romulan command. Though the existence of only 21 "Klolode" class battlecruisers has been confirmed, it is believed that a total of 45-60 were built, with some 15 (7 confirmed) having been sold to the Romulan Fleet to date. While for some time it was thought that ships of this aging class would be uprated to match the more powerful but physically similar "K't'inga" configuration, this does not seem to have been the case. The Klingon Imperial Fleet seems content to let the vessels wear themselves out. Listing Of Known "Klolode" Class Battlecruisers: Name (Translation) I.D.
