Komo Val class

The Komo Val class battleship, which was designated L-24 by Starfleet and entered service in early 2280, was the largest warship in the Klingon Defense Force at the time. The bridge was located in the forward pod; this was typical of Klingon design, and was capable of separating from the main hull in case of emergency. The bridge module had an auxiliary impulse engine that could be used only after separation; it gave the pod the ability to travel short distances and allowed minimal maneuvering capabilities. The pod also mounted two disruptor banks, which were capable of firing in all directions after separation. Also mounted in the pod was a single torpedo bay, though torpedo storage was minimal. The vessel also carried 480 assault troops and eight light support vehicles, which could all be transported down to a planet in less than seven minutes. By mid-2281, only two Komo Val class vessels had been constructed and were operating along the Federation border. Several others were under construction and were intended for deployment along the Romulan border and the Triangle. The class was named from the Klingon komo val, which translated to “always in victory.”^[1]
