Vo'quv class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

The ***vo'quv Segh*** or ***Vo'quv*-class**, meaning "propelled toward honor" in tlhIngan Hol, was a type of spacecraft developed by the Klingon Empire in the late 24th century. The Klingon Defense Force classified it as a *charghDuj veSDuj ngoQ* (warship-dreadnought), with Starfleet rating it as a scale 7 carrier.

## History

### Design

After the success of the *Tor'Kaht*-subclass of the *Vor'cha*, the team responsible was tasked with a new project to develop the first dedicated carrier, or *HIvDuj'qengwI'*, of the Klingon Empire. Engineers at the Ty'Gokor Fleet Yards spent three years developing the new *Vo'quv*-class with the first vessel being commissioned in 2407.

Heavy losses of the class in engagements with Starfleet in 2409 forced a quick reevaluation of the design. Gorn engineers, who had recently proven their value to the KDF, were brought in to advise. A new class, that drew from both Klingon and Gorn design philosophies, came from the joint effort and was rushed into service to replace the seven destroyed *Vo'quv* carriers. The design was named the *VoDleH*-class, meaning "emperor" in tlhIngan Hol.

## Technical information

The *Vo'quv*-class was designed with increased power output and engine efficiency than any Imperial vessel before it. This allowed starships of the class to liberally use their sensor-hampering electronic countermeasures, even while cloaked.

Designed to serve at the center of battle, the class was equipped with multiphasic shield generators and ablative neutronium alloy armor. After victory was achieved, two large cargo bays in a *Vo'quv*-class could easily be adapted to become maintenance and repair stations for the fleet.

### Auxiliary craft systems

The standard complement of the class was 36 *To'Duj*-class fighters, 12 *Kivra*-class shuttlepods, and 8 *Toron*-class runabouts.
