FASA’s ST III Sourcebook Bird-of-Prey

In my old copy of the Star Trek III: The Search for Spock sourcebook from FASA the Klingon Bird-of-Prey is a smaller weaker ship and I just wanted to see what it looked like. I used it to alter the 23rd century version of the standard TOS Spacedock book. This is a smaller and versatile vessel and making a nice addition to Klingon Forces and I like the looks that is generate out of the conversion. Though it is not a straight across FASA to Spacedock conversion I made up the ships in the past.

With a change in the shields and warp drive it would work well in the TNG era as an older out dated ship as it would in the TOS era. I generated some added-in’s the secondary Disrupters and I thought it looked just right with the extra weapons and the dual warp core for those who want the Haynes look of a BOP.

This was just a little play time with the spacedock to kill time between this and that.

I added a few addition that can be changed out at the end of the write up as they a match much of the other Klingon ships that I have redone over the last couple of years. They look just right like the Hynes book depicted the Klingon ships.
