The D-4—which was the predecessor of the famed D-7 and was known to its Klingon builders as the D’ama, or “predator,” class—pioneered the command-pod design that would later become the standard for most Klingon warships in the late 22nd and 23rd centuries. The class was introduced in 2142 with the commissioning of eight ships, and was produced at the alarming rate of one per month at facilities operating as if under wartime production orders. It wasn’t until Operation Dixie in the 2280s that it was discovered that the Klingons were, in fact, being attacked by an unknown enemy. During this conflict, the D’ama class saw extensive action and went through several different modifications, most of which were never brought into active production. The conflict ended about two years later, slowing further development.[1] The Klingon Ship Recognition Manual indicates its production date was 2242, but given the appearance of a similar design in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode “Unexpected”, and the appearance of the D-5 class later in the series, 2142 is a more likely date.

The D-7 was probably the most infamous cruiser ever to stalk the spacelanes. These ships were associated with death and destruction on a scale second to none. When first introduced in late 2244, these vessels captured the minds and spirits of the Klingon commanders so fully that for many years they were viewed by outsiders as the symbol of Klingon tyrrany. This design was developed from the earlier d’ama (D-4) class cruiser and incorporated all of its most popular features. The command pod mounted forward on the boom assembly and the wing-like main hull were altered slightly, but all of the basic concepts were retained.[4]

K’t’inga class (ST-06)

The K’t’inga class Bardur was known to have destroyed more than 20 Romulan vessels, ten Starfleet vessels, and participated in skirmishes that accounted for the loss of more than 40 enemy ships; as a result, the Bardur gained a level of prestige in the Klingon Empire similar to that of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in the Federation. The captain of the Bardur was promoted to admiral and, like James T. Kirk, retained command of his vessel.[1]
