Vor’cha class (Vanguard)

The Vor'cha-class was one of the more powerful ships in the. Indeed, for a time, it was also one of the largest warships in the, carrying a formidable armament and demonstrating great maneuverability considering their relatively large size.

The outboard plan of the Vor'cha-class design incorporated the same basic shape and classic avian design lineage dating back over two hundred years.

The Vor'cha-class provided the Klingon Empire's fleet formations with a vital support and transport element. They were quite successful in the role of long range pursuit making them excellent patrol ships. Heavily armed, Vor'chas were mounted with a forward disruptor cannon capable of firing solid and intermittent disruptor beams, in addition to torpedoes. These vessels, like all Klingon warships of the time, also incorporated cloaking technology, which protected them from detection in most evasive situations.

Vanguard Command
There are two Vor'cha-class Attack Cruisers on detached mission to the Gamma Quadrant to watch over Rear Admiral Razal Gibran. They lead the warships of Task Force Mek'leth.

At the request of General Clegar and with the endorsement of the, the Federation and Starfleet approved substantial refits and retrofits to the starships of Task Force Mek’leth in order of them to survive and thrive in the Gamma Quadrant. As such, the task force’s two Vor’cha-class Attack Cruisers were equipped with ablative hull armour and regenerative multiphasic shielding, upgraded disruptor cannons, isolinear circuitry for its computer systems, two holodecks for “training” purposes, and a warp drive that allows it to cruise at speeds of warp 9.9.
