The I.K.S. Gorkon the Qang-Class Heavy Cruiser
The I.K.S. Gorkon the Qang-Class Heavy Cruiser
The other day we were discussing the book Star Trek I.K.S. Gorkon A Good Day To Die by Keith R. A. DeCandido, during a break-down at work. We had been reading the novel and the sequel Honor Bound. We got into a discussion about the Qang-Class and its comparison of similarities to the well-known Vor’Cha-class Attack Cruiser. I pulled out a copy of the spacedock stats for the Vor’Cha-class and we began to mark the differences on the stats.
Later the next day after I got up, I dug out the book two the Brave and the Bold by the same author and fleshed out and adjusted the additions into the Vor’cha-class-into-Qang-class. I took the spacedock design into testing against the upgraded the Sovereign-class with the Star Trek Nemesis Movie additions.
Enjoy the Qang-Class design we had a good time building up the designs and the testing it in battle. I am looking forward to testing the Qang-Class against a single Vor’Cha-class and a Pair of K’Vort-class battle cruisers.
I personally thought that the Klingon Empire would have been building more of the larger Negh’Var-class vessels. I thought as they were large and more capable of handling the operations as much as the Qang-Class or even better as it has the size that is more than comparable than to the Qang-Class. It would take only a few alterations to the Negh’Var to improve its troop carrying ability to that or better than that of the Qang-Class. However, it was not the first time I came up with dumb ideas such as that, my co-worker can testify to that.

DESCRIPTION AND NOTES
Fleet Data: After the Dominion War Chancellor Martok under took the responsibility of Rebuilding the Klingon Defense Force’s Starfleet. One of the Vessels that the former General ordered the construction was the Qang-class (“Chancellor-class”) Heavy Cruiser. Chancellor Martok had the idea of a Klingon version of the Federation’s Galaxy-class Explorer with a Klingon veriant to the design idea. Build for battle and exploration as well as what ever extensive multi-mission profile given to the fleet as a warship build for battle. The basic function of the Qang-class is to further the Klingon way of life and expand the frontiers of the Klingon territory’s building a fleet to defend that way of life.
Do to the urgency the fleet’s needs the Qang-class was rushed through the production and the acceleration was do to the utilization of the successful Vor’Cha-class design variations. Although slightly shorter than the Vor’Cha--class the Qang-class is slightly wider and heavier in designs. The successful battle worthy designs of the Vor’Cha-class was a clever idea of acceleration the production of the Qang-class, to quickly replace the lost vessels from the Dominion War.
Qang-class still has the resemblance to the early versions of the Klingon starship designs more than two centuries old. Larger than the Vor’cha-class Attack Cruiser carrying more ground forces than the predecessor.
In the mid section of the vessels main hull is the ships main mess hall for the Qang-class Heavy Cruiser is large enough to handle a majority of the crew and troops in a meal session. Several Gyms and a single holodeck used for training and battle practice. An enlarged bridge design with a multi-sensor stations with multi-targeting weapons systems additional terminals for the engineering, with shields and fire control stations. Communications and Cloaking device controls are independent stations.
Noteworthy vessels/service records/encounters: I.K.S. K’mpec, under the Command of Captain Dorrak son of M’Raq; I.K.S. Gorkon, under the Command of Captain Klag son of M’Raq; I.K.S. Gowron; I.K.S. Gowron;
Authors Notes: Generally the same design as the Vor’cha-class the Qang-class would naturally be utilizing the similar designs in hull shapes and appearance and with similar weapons systems utilized. Based on the Specifications in the novel STAR TREK THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD BY KEITH R. A. DECANDIDO who put in the book Technical Specifications by Tammy Love Larrabee. I had to make some changes to give the vessel some punch in the space dock design as with cloaking devices and torpedo load. The torpedo load is increased by 81% of Larrabee’s specs. Personally I thought that a nice layer of Ablative Armor would be nice for the Qang-class.
I thought about upping the disruptor weapons and the number launchers and locations but I could not see my way to doing so. After upping the disruptors in testing I found them too powerful and had to cut them back down to the Vor’Cha-class levels, but left the shielding where it was.
Let me know what you think
