Located in the Deneb Sector, near the Federation-Breen border, the Yadev II Supply Depot is the final resting place for some of the unsung workhorses of Starfleet. Once decommissioned, ships travel to Yadev II, where they are placed into mothballs and they must wait for the day when they will be called into service once more. For most, that day never comes and they are broken down and stripped for their raw materials to be recycled.
  
The '''''Mat'Ha''-class destroyer''' is one of the newer designs in the [[Klingon Empire]] and the first Raptor in the [[Klingon Defense Force]] in almost 300 years. The ''Mat'Ha''-class derives much of its overall aesthetic, lineage from the much older [[ma:Raptor class|''Raptor''-class]] design of the 22nd century.
+
Yadev II is home to a Federation colony founded in 2246 with the Supply Depot being established roughly a decade later. The main hub of the depot is an old Regula-class station dating from 2300 with a few drydocks located nearby where the ships that are too far gone to be reactivated are finally stripped down of components and dismantled.
 
===Exploration and Science===
 
Like most non-capital class Klingon ship designs, the ''Mat'Ha'' has very limited scientific and exploration duties. Although it has a state-of-the-art sensor suite, the primary purpose is for finding and tracking targets in combat. Like most Klingon vessels, if a ''Mat'Ha'' discovers anything of scientific importance, the ship will signal the nearest Klingon starbase or outpost to dispatch a ship better equipped for scientific endeavors.
 
  
===Diplomacy===
+
Due to its proximity to Breen space, Yadev II has become a favourite target for Breen raiding parties, though these are usually repelled easily enough by the depot’s automated defences. During the closing stages of the Dominion War, the planet was briefly occupied by Breen forces but this only lasted a few weeks and the Breen withdrew following the signing of the accords that brought the war to an end.
As a destroyer, the ''Mat'Ha'' has extremely limited diplomatic capabilities and would only serve as an emissary of the Klingon Empire if it were the only ship available. The ship has extremely limited guest quarters, only a single conference room that could serve for diplomatic purposes of any kind, and virtually no diplomatic amenities. In nearly any instance, a much more capable vessel would be dispatched by the [[ma:Klingon High Council|Klingon High Council]].
 
 
 
===Engineering===
 
The ''Mat'Ha'' largely follows the lineage from the original ''Raptor''-class of the 22nd century, scaled up. The ''Mat'Ha'' is roughly twice the size of the ''Raptor'' while maintaining the sleek, low-profile design of the original. The ''Mat'Ha'' incorporates many new technologies built into the design, unlike other aging designs like the [[B'rel Class|''B'rel''-class]] Bird-of-Prey which has merely received numerous refits to her internal systems over the decades. The most notable integrated design that allows the ''Mat'Ha'' to excel is her new generation engines which make her both maneuverable at sublight speeds in combat but also her warp engines which make her one of the fastest vessels in the Klingon arsenal. These engines allow the ''Mat'Ha'' to excel over most other Klingon vessels is the speed, allowing for rapid deployment to any battlefield.
 
 
 
===Tactical===
 
The ''Mat'Ha'' was one of the few new designs from the Klingon Empire that came as a direct result of the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]]. Where the ''B'rel'' was lost in the hundreds during the War, the ''Mat'Ha'' is designed to be battle-hardened against an enemy like the Dominion. The ship is more reinforced with armor plating, has more durable shields, and a more complementary weapons systems. Much like the ''B'rel'', the ''Mat'Ha'' has its main weapons pointed forward. However, unlike the ''B'rel'', the ''Mat'Ha'' comes standard with four disruptor emitters covering the remaining arcs of the ship if an enemy vessel would be able to outmaneuver it.
 
 
 
Where the ''Mat'Ha'' earns its keep as a destroyer is its torpedo payload. The ''Mat'Ha'' is equipped with seven forward facing torpedo launchers and four reach torpedo launchers. Additionally, the standard payload for a ''Mat'Ha'' is 250 high-yield photon torpedoes. This allows the ''Mat'Ha'' to deploy torpedoes across a battlefield like few other vessels in the Klingon arsenal are capable.
 
 
 
===Shipboard Life===
 
The ''Mat'Ha'' is the first in a generation of post-Dominion War vessels and as such has taken a different approach to Klingon ship design when it comes to life aboard. The thing that separates the ''Mat'Ha'' from slightly larger vessels like the [[Vor'cha Class|''Vor'cha'']] or even [[K't'inga Class|''K't'inga''-classes]] is that it is purely meant as a space combatant. With that in mind, the ship is armed to the teeth but has very little to no troops on board for rapid deployment. While most lower decks crew are still packed into dorm-style accommodations, there are far more single occupancy rooms. With no accommodations necessary for ground troops that allows far more space for other crew accommodations. Therefore, the ''Mat'Ha'' is equipped with far more amenities such as holo rooms, recreation rooms, and mess halls. Far more luxurious, by Klingon standards, than the previous generation of vessels.
 
 
 
==Class History==
 
The ''Mat'Ha''-class was first conceived in the early 2380s as a direct response to the massive losses the Klingon Defense Force suffered at the hands of the Dominion. Particularly the losses of the ''B'rel's'' in the hundreds and the need to fill the gap in a mid-sized warship between the ''B'rel'' and ''Vor'cha''. One of the biggest design requirements the Klingon High Council had was a warship that could also hold its own with other highly maneuverable vessels. Up until the Dominion War, the ''B'rel'' had been able to outmaneuver almost anything in the Alpha or Beta Quadrants to keep its weapons to bear on enemy targets. However, the Dominion attack ships proved just as maneuverable and were often able to get into the ''B'rel's'' aft quarters. The design of the ''Mat'Ha'' turned from the original conception of a ''B'rel'' replacement to a supplement in a destroyer-type warship that could fight alongside the rest of the Klingon fleet.
 
 
 
With the Klingon Empire already well into a rebuilding effort, the ''Mat'Ha'' design was completed and approved, but put on the back burner until the Defense Force could get closer to full capacity. By late 2390, the ''Mat'Ha'' was revisited and approved by the Klingon High Council for construction as the first in the new generation of warships and the first truly new design in almost two decades.
 
 
 
In 2391, the first ''Mat'Ha'' left the fleet yards above [[ma:Qo'noS|Qo'noS]] and began its trial runs. After a successful shakedown, the Klingon High Council approved full scale deployment of the design among the Great Houses and within the Klingon Defense Force. The ''Mat'Ha'' proved to be able to be quickly produced in mass which complemented the ''B'rel'' well. By 2401, the ''Mat'Ha'' was deployed across Klingon space in the hundreds and is now a staple of the Klingon fleet.

Located in the Deneb Sector, near the Federation-Breen border, the Yadev II Supply Depot is the final resting place for some of the unsung workhorses of Starfleet. Once decommissioned, ships travel to Yadev II, where they are placed into mothballs and they must wait for the day when they will be called into service once more. For most, that day never comes and they are broken down and stripped for their raw materials to be recycled.

Yadev II is home to a Federation colony founded in 2246 with the Supply Depot being established roughly a decade later. The main hub of the depot is an old Regula-class station dating from 2300 with a few drydocks located nearby where the ships that are too far gone to be reactivated are finally stripped down of components and dismantled.

Due to its proximity to Breen space, Yadev II has become a favourite target for Breen raiding parties, though these are usually repelled easily enough by the depot’s automated defences. During the closing stages of the Dominion War, the planet was briefly occupied by Breen forces but this only lasted a few weeks and the Breen withdrew following the signing of the accords that brought the war to an end.
