| NOTES |
| The Vor'cha class was originally the Klingon Empire's response to the Federation's Ambassador Class, however problems with the initial design delayed the Vor'cha's launch until 2347, three years before the launch of the Nebula Class. A powerful vessel in most regards, it has served well the Klingon Empire since its initial launch. Unlike most Klingon vessels, the Vor'cha is not strictly devoted to combat. Though somewhat limited, many Vor'cha class vessels have scientific and diplomatic capabilities, and newer starships are capable of transwarp speed. It is believed that, in the aftermath of the Elorg War, the Klingons are working diligently to significantly upgrade the Vor'chas tactical capabilities, ensuring the vessel will be seen on the front line for years to come. |
