DY-500 class
DY-500 class (TNG-144)
A sublight class ship from the 21st century, similar in design to the earlier DY-100 class[1] massing 3000 metric tons, which remained in use for nearly a century after being modified for early versions of warp drive. The S.S. Mariposa NAR-7678 was of the DY-500 class, and was launched in 2123.[2]

A late 20th century interplanetary vessel design built on Earth using nuclear-powered engines and equipped with suspended-animation chambers for longer voyages during the pre-warp era, superceded in 2018 by designs with better sublight technology. The Botany Bay, launched in 1996, was a DY-100 class ship.[1] In 1996, Rain Robinson had a photograph of a DY-100 class ship lifting off on display in her office;[2] this same image was on display in the 602 Club in San Francisco in the mid-22nd century.[3]

Dreadnought
Dreadnought (VOY-134)
Maquis designation for the Cardassian ATR-4107 tactical missile that was launched in 2370. The weapon carried a charge of 1000 kilograms of matter and an equal amount of antimatter, enough explosive power to destroy a small moon. Dreadnought was controlled by a sophisticated computer system that was highly adaptable, capable of evasion, and equipped with advanced defensive weaponry. Dreadnought was originally programmed to destroy a Maquis munitions base on the planetoid Alpha 441 in the Badlands, but failed to detonate at its target and was subsequently captured by Maquis member B’Elanna Torres, who reprogrammed it to destroy a Cardassian fuel depot on planet Aschelan V. One day after Dreadnought was launched toward Aschelon V, it was captured by the Caretaker and brought to the Delta Quadrant. In this unfamiliar environment, Dreadnought’s control computer locked onto planet Rakosa V, threatening Rakosa’s two million inhabitants. Torres, who at that point was aboard the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656, intercepted Dreadnought in early 2372 and was successful in destroying it before it could reach Rakosa V.[1]

Dierdre
The freighter Dierdre supposedly sent a distress call to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 on Stardate 3497.2. The signal was a hoax sent by a Klingon vessel, and was the second Klingon attempt to prevent the Enterprise from returning to the planet Capella IV. Upon receipt of the fraudulent message, Chief Engineer Scott, who was temporarily in command of the Enterprise at the time, succinctly commented, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”[1]

U.S.S. Destiny
Sovereign class (ST-08)
In late 2374, shortly after the death of Jadzia Dax,[1] the Sovereign class[4] Destiny, under the command of Captian Raymer, was assigned to transport the ailing Dax symbiont from Deep Space 9 back to Trill.[1] Along the way, Dax took a turn for the worse. Ensign Ezri Tigan was the only Trill aboard the vessel, and became the new Ezri Dax.[2] The Destiny returned to Deep Space Nine in early 2375 before joining the Seventh Fleet at Kalandra. Dax was to have rejoined the ship’s crew but she opted instead to accept a posting at Deep Space 9.[3]

The Death Rite class cruiser, known as the D-20 to Starfleet, was commissioned in mid-2254 and immediately rushed into the Four Years War, where they were used much like the famed D-7. Though the class suffered from a lack of maneuvering power and a relatively weak superstructure, it seemed to make up for these deficiencies in its weapons and shielding. This fault was corrected in 2270; the refit model was far more maneuverable and had more power, as well as a more efficient shielding system and a stronger superstructure. The class was produced at Gnuu Re’ and H’rez. The class was named from “the death of honor,” a traditional death rite; in this rite, a captive who has fought well was killed with a silver dagger handed down through family lines. When a family line was broken, the dagger was destroyed after it was used to eliminate the last family member.[1]

The Dath D’lan class destroyer, known to Starfleet as the D-11, was the most unusual design in the Klingon fleet, easily recognized on visual scan because of its single wing, and was commissioned in mid-2262. That the vessel never fared well in battle was blamed on its asymmetrical design, which worked to restrict the field of fire from the weapons mounting hardpoints. Able to travel at speeds of Warp 7, it was one of the fastest ships in known space at the time it was commissioned, as well as having had satisfactory tactical maneuverability. Nevertheless, the class was unpopular, as it lacked sufficient firepower to perform its duties. It’s unsurprising that a refit was commissioned in 2270 to upgrade the weapons systems, extending their range by 80,000 km, but battle performance was not significantly improved.[1]

The D’esta Kar class, known as the D-14 to Starfleet, was introduced in 2274; in 2278, it was modified to add a cloaking device and an additional transporter. The class name referred to a predator on the planet Nogunda, which immobilized its prey by injecting a paralyzing agent through its stinger.[1]
