Hirogen ship

A Hirogen ship or Hirogen vessel was a type of small, heavily-armed hunting vessel used by Hirogen s during the 2370s as they hunted prey throughout the Delta Quadrant.
== History ==
The first encountered a Hirogen ship in mid-2374, when they accessed the Hirogen communications network to receive the full message from Starfleet Command. Tuvok and Seven of Nine were hunted down and held as prisoners aboard this ship until Idrin told his Beta-Hirogen to kill their prey. ()
== Technical data ==
These vessels could be easily identified by their monotanium hull plating, tylium-based power source, and dicyclic warp signature. 
Their hull armor, alone, made them virtually impervious to phaser fire. They were also capable of achieving high warp; easily capable of traveling a half light year in four hours. () 
They were described as having "massive weapons", including phaser banks. () 
Their weapons range of at least 50,000 kilometers. Among their tactical abilities was that of being able to disable other vessels with a type of subnucleonic beam, as well as a type of stun beam. () 
These ships generally traveled alone or in small groups, and would occasionally join forces with several others in a multi-pronged attack. () 
Several of these ships together were able to defeat an starship. ()
== Interior design ==
=== Bridge ===
This class of vessel was usually piloted by two Hunters, an Alpha-Hirogen and a Beta-Hirogen. 
The bridge had large freestanding console that could be manipulated with control rods. ()
=== Trophy room ===
Beyond the bridge was a large room with another console. The walls contain trophies and bladed weapons. Also included in this area was technology for producing s of their prey, including a harness-like construction to hang their prey on while preparing an osteotomy, and large transparent cylinders with fluid in which an enzyme could break down their prey's tissue.
