K’tari-class Bird-of-Prey
K’tari-class Bird-of-Prey
The B’rel-class Bird-of-Prey is the single most definitive starship design of the Klingon Defense Forces. Originally entering service in 2282, the B’rel design went through many upgrades over the years, becoming one of the most flexible destroyer-type vessels in the known galaxy, and remained in continuous production until 2378. Unfortunately, by the time of the Dominion War, the B’rel’s age started to show through its massive losses to the Jem’Hadar, Cardassian, and Breen forces. Klingon High Command realized that it was time for a replacement class that took advantage of the latest technologies and could effectively stand against the likes of Starfleet’s Defiant-class destroyer or the Jem’Hadar attack fighter.
The result was the K’tari Bird-of-Prey: a warship with a clear relation to its venerable predecessor, but also exhibiting a quantum leap in capability. Among its enhancements are an advanced warp drive based on specifications shared by Starfleet, improved pulse disruptor cannons, and quantum torpedoes, also technology obtained from the Federation.
When designing the K'tari-class Klingon Engineers used the basic structure, space-frame and system requirements for the B'rel, but using the largest examples of the type (175m OAL) Construction began in 2378 and the first K'tari was launched in 2381.

Wave Man, the term "wave man" is the English translation of 'Ronin' (Japanese word) and literately translates to "wandering person" and in a modern context a WaveMan is one who is socially adrift or a SalaryMan who is between employers.
