Klingon Bird of Prey

A miracle of starship design, the Klingon Bird of Prey is one of the smallest ships in space. Their cheapness is their main asset, as they are fragile and do not have much firepower, but can be deployed in very large numbers. Rather than a singular ship class, there have been variations on the overall design Bird of Prey design over the ages that range from 30kt to 100kt. The smaller Birds of Prey tend to travel in miniature wolfpacks similar to squadrons of runabouts.

The latest standardized version in production has been labeled the Bird of Prey Mark 2, and only newer models serve in the KDF. Numerous older Bird of Prey hulls remain in service with various Klingon House fleets or other Klingon and Klingon-influenced groups, and they appear content to use the ships up rather than scrap them for newer models.
