Fleet Data: Built using the same plans as the B’rel-class Light Warship, but to larger dimensions, the K’Vort-class Warship (or Battlecruiser) serves prominently in the Imperial Klingon Defense Forces and many House militaries. While not as powerful or sophisticated as the Vor’cha-class Heavy Warship, it is cheaper to build and maintain, making it attractive to many Houses.

Unlike the B’rel, the K’Vort-class vessel has only two flight modes, “attack” and “flight”; it lacks atmospheric capability, and so does not need a “landing” mode. However, it avoids one of the B’rel’s chief weaknesses by placing two disruptor cannons and one torpedo launcher aft. Its disruptor cannons often fire in tandem (i.e. as a bank). The K’Vort’s primary crew numbers only about 350. However, it is designed to serve as a troop transport, and can carry about 1,200 more personnel if need be.
