Fleet Data: The B’rel-class Light Warship, or “bird of prey” as it is most often known, is one of the main vessels of the Imperial Klingon Defense Forces and various Great House military forces of the Klingon Empire. Fast and agile, it possesses atmospheric and planetfall capabilities, making it ideally suited for many different types of assaults, raids, escort, and scouting or patrol missions.

The B’rel’s main weapons are two disruptor cannon, one mounted at the tip of each “wing” (unlike most ships, which mount the warp nacelles at the ends of pylons, the B’rel embeds them partly within its Engineering hull in the center of its aft region). The cannons can swivel with a 270-degree arc, giving the ship a fairly broad field of fire even when it cannot move. The B’rel mounts a single photon torpedo launcher on the forward ventral side of the command module. To maximize the B’rel’s offensive capacity, its commanders often fire the two disruptor cannon in tandem (i.e. as a bank). Its greatest tactical weakness is that all the weapons face forward, with limited arcs of fire. It cannot fire at opponents behind it or to its side, it can only attack targets almost in front of it.

The B’rel has got three flight modes: Landing (wings fully raised); flight (wings held at midpoint); and attack (wings fully descended). However, these are only preferred operating modes, not technological limitations; the ship can attack, cruise, or enter atmosphere in any mode. Most B’rel-class Light Warships have crews of about 12. However, in wartime or when conflict is expected, the “passengers” are actually fellow soldiers who function as additional crew, giving the vessel a complement of three-dozen or more.
