Vo'n'talk class

## SPACECRAFT CLASS

Orthographic views

The ***vo'nI'toQ Segh*** or ***Vo'n'talk*-class** was a type of spacecraft developed by the Klingon Naval Academy in the mid 22nd century. It was the first in what would become the *toQDuj,* or bird-of-prey, starship lineage within the Klingon Empire and was designated the **K2-class** by United Earth Starfleet.

## History

While the *M'Chla*-class was considered the foundation for the bird-of-prey type, the true *toQDuj wa'DIch* was the *vo'naHtalq may'Duj*. The design was the brainchild of a *renwI'*, or shipwright, of House Antaak at the Klingon Naval Academy. The *Vo'n'talk* was revolutionary due to its use of coplanar warp drive units and variable-geometry wings, both features that would come to define the bird-of-prey type.

House Antaak was also the first to field a vessel of the class in 2149 and it soon outpaced other raiders, like the *K'saruj*-class, in the imperial fleet. The *Vo’n’talk* was first encountered by United Earth Starfleet a few years after its introduction and was given the reporting name of K2-class.

Not even twenty-five years after its introduction, the *Vo'n'talk* was itself being supplanted by newer, more powerful bird-of-prey designs. The many vessels of the class still in service were retrofitted to serve as courier and heavy surface attack vessels. This new variant was named the *Tu'YuQ*-class, meaning "planetary observer," with the first of the retrofit entering service in 2176.
