Template:Specification


The Negh'Var-class warship is a mightily impressive and intimidating vessel in the service of the Klingon Empire. Serving as the flagship class of the Klingon Defense Force in the latter half of the 24th century, the Negh'Var is a direct response to the Romulan Star Empire's flagship D'deridex-class warbird. Following its debut during the cold war with the Dominion, the Negh'Var continues to be a vital key within the Klingon fleets into the 25th century and has only recently been displaced as the Klingon flagship very recently by the Bortasqu'-class.

Exploration and Science

The Negh'Var is unique within Klingon shipbuilding in that its sensor suite was developed with a multi-faceted approach in mind. Although, much like the K't'inga and Vor'cha-classes, the sensor suite's primary purpose is tactical with an additional purpose of searching for resources, it was also built with exploration in mind. The Klingon Empire learned over the 24th century from their Federation allies that exploration and scientific discovery can lead to untold and unimaginable advances in all areas of technological advancement. Learning from that, the Negh'Var is more than capable of the scientific duties on par with many Federation ships which allows it to conduct these studies while in deep space. Whereas most other Klingon ship classes would have to send preliminary data back to the nearest outpost so a dedicated science ship could be deployed, the Negh'Var itself would be carrying out these studies and sending comprehensive details back to the nearest outpost for analysis.

Tactical

The Negh'Var was the most well-equipped ship in Klingon history at the time of its launch. With more weapons emplacements than any other Klingon ship previous, its seige technology, and torpedo payload the Negh'Var was, for a time, likely the most formidable warship in the Alpha or Beta Quadrants.

The Negh'Var is primarily unique from the previous cruisers in its lineage such as the K't'inga and Vor'cha-classes by the two massive disruptor cannons on the underbelly of the ship. Tactically, these set the Negh'Var apart as being seige weapons against stationary targets be it planetary or starbases. The Negh'Var was the first Klingon ship to have such weaponry built into the design at inception, whereas previous classes would need to have such weaponry specially mounted for a specific mission profile.

Additionally, the Negh'Var includes a hangar deck at the top of the ship in a pod-like structure which allows it to carry several Kivra-class shuttles and multiple wings of To'Duj-class fighters. Tactically, this allows the Negh'Var to serve as a command and control warship on the field of battle coordinating efforts not only as a massive deployment platform itself but also with any escort ships in its battlegroup.
