IKS Cha'Joh

The IKS Cha'Joh was a D12-class Klingon Bird-of-Prey operated by the House of Duras. It was destroyed in 2371 just after inflicting critical damage to the USS Enterprise-D in the Battle of Veridian III.

Service record
This Bird-of-Prey was commissioned in 2351.

In 2369, Lursa and B'Etor used the starship to provide Tahna Los with bilitrium.

In 2370, Lursa and B'Etor used the Bird-of-Prey during their plot to steal magnesite in the Kalla system.

While in orbit of Veridian III, Lursa and B'Etor staged a bold attack on the Enterprise-D in 2371. The Duras sisters had a considerable tactical advantage in knowing the Enterprises shield frequency, meaning that the Bird-of-Prey was able to render the Enterprises shields completely ineffective, allowing the Bird-of-Prey to score direct hits. The Bird-of-Prey was destroyed when the crew of the Enterprise exploited a design flaw in the D12-class' plasma coils to force it to cloak and lower its shields in to process. Unfortunately, this proved to be a Pyrrhic victory, as the Bird-of-Prey was able to inflict critical damage on the Enterprise before destroyed, resulting in a warp core breach and the destruction of the Enterprise.
