Gorn hunter ship

The Gorn hunter ship was a type of small warship employed by the Gorn Hegemony during the 23rd century. It was armed with plasma weapons and was capable of atmospheric flight. The ship could generate a hologram to conceal itself from sensors, though a scan for polarized EM signatures would expose it as an optical distortion. Like the much larger Gorn destroyer, Gorn hunters projected patterns of light for inter-ship communication.
La'an Noonien-Singh and her brother Manu frequently saw Gorn hunters overhead while they were held captive on a Gorn breeding planet.
In 2259, the was attacked by three Gorn hunters and a Gorn destroyer near Finibus III. Hiding inside a brown dwarf, the Enterprise destroyed one of the hunters with an unguided photon torpedo, and another by luring it to such a depth that it imploded from atmospheric pressure. The third hunter was destroyed when the shuttlecraft transmitted a light code to the destroyer claiming that the hunter had been taken over by Humans, causing it to fire on the smaller craft. ()
Later that year, three Gorn hunters participated in the attack on the and the colony on Parnassus Beta. They and a destroyer subsequently engaged the Enterprise over the planet. ()
