Built along the lines of classic Klingon design, a bulbous front section that contains bridge, several other systems and some weapons, connected to the rear main section by a narrow, long 'neck', with wing-like structures on the sides of the rear section, angling down that end in angular warp nacelles, giving it an avian-like form. Armed with 2 fixed forward disruptors and a photon torpedo launcher, with excellent armour, and shielding for protection, with a top light speed of Warp 9, if only for 20 minutes, typically cruises at warp 7 to 8. The forward section contained the primary photon torpedo launcher, a magnetic pulse emitter, while disruptor cannons were fitted to the joining point of the warp nacelle pylons meet the main body. A small superstructure is fitted on the top at the rear of the main section, located above the four-ported impulse engines giving it decent maneuverability, which includes the shuttle bay, with room for four to six standard sized shuttles. The D7 lacked cloaking devices, as after the Klingon-Federation War rendered them somewhat useless thanks to the U.S.S. Discovery, although versions would see cloaking devices installed again after fixing the vulnerabilities of the original designs. In Coreline, the Klingon Empire used any of these old ships that were available to maintain order and protect themselves during the chaotic first few weeks. While the Klingon Empire stabilized, with some help from the Federation, some Klingons from the era of Captain Kirk that weren't happy with an alliance with the Federation, took as many ships as they could, including large amounts of D7s, and created splinter groups of raiders, attacking the Federation and others.The Klingon Empire itself manufactures D7s for export, since the technology is obsolete, in limited quantities for a few of its allies and a number were unloaded on the Black Market to gain some quick capital in the first year after the 23 Hours. D7 Class (PL6)Type: MediumweightSubtype: CruiserSize: Colossal (-8)Tactical Speed: 3000 ftDefense: 11 (10 -8 size, +5 class +4 Dex) 12 with +1 DodgeFlat-Footed Defense: 7Autopilot Defense: 7Hardness: 30Hit Dice: 190d20 (3800 hp) shield 4750 hpInitiative Modifier: +4Pilot's Class Bonus: +5Pilot's Dex Modifier: +4Gunner's Attack Bonus: +4Length: 748 ftWeight: 120,600 tonsTargeting System Bonus: +3Crew: 430 (expert +8)Passenger Capacity: 20-100 (typically dedicated soldiers)Cargo Capacity: 8000 tonsCarried Craft: 4 shuttlesGrapple Modifier: +16Base PDC: 64Restriction: Mil (+3)Attack:Fire-linked Disruptor cannon type 2 -2 ranged 18d12,  4500 ft and Fire-linked Disruptor cannon type 2 -7 ranged 18d12,  4500 ft;Or photon torpedo launcher -1 ranged 12d20 - and Fire-linked Disruptor cannon type 2 -6 ranged 18d12,  4500 ft;Or Magnetic Pulse Emitter -5 ranged (special, 5000 ft) and photon torpedo launcher -6 ranged 12d20 - Attack of Opportunity: Standard PL(6-7) Design Spec:, Agile ship, transporters, shuttlebay (6 shuttles)Engines: thrusters, Warp Drive 8 (Warp 9 20 min)Armour: vanadamDefense Systems: shields, autopilot, damage control system (3d10)Sensors: Class IV, targeting systemCommunications: Radiotransceiver, subspace transceiverWeapons: 2 disruptor cannon type 2, 1 photon torpedo launcher (100 torpedoes), magnetic pulse emitterGrappling Systems: tractor beam CombatD7s will try to lead combat with the Magnetic Pulse emitter followed with a photon torpedo to rip through weakened shielding, then following attacks will alternate between two disruptor cannon attacks and disruptor cannon with photon torpedo.If more than one D7 working together, they will stagger their Magnetic Pulse emitter attacks so that the multiple strikes overwhelm the target's containment fields causing warp core breach faster so the group can focus on next target. One ship will typically try to draw the fire of the target while the other moves to a position to make its next magnetic pulse attack,  then the second target will draw the target's attention while the first ship will break off for its magnetic pulse while cloaking. D7 mk2The second version of the D7 saw improvements in weapons and redesigned impulse engines, improved shields, but reduced warp speed. The disruptor cannons are replaced with heavy disruptor cannon type 2s, still fixed forward plus two disruptor array type 2s are installed to allow it to attack foes in all directions, heavier shields are installed, the magnetic pulse emitter was removed on newly built ones, although refitted ones retained it. Cloaking devices were also installed on mk2s after a short lived alliance between the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire was made before it broke down, which provided the Romulans with D7s.Make the following changes to D7 to make a D7 mk2:Replace shields with heavy shields, increase shield hit points to shield 5700 hp;Replace disruptor type 2 with heavy disruptor cannons type 2;Add 2 Disruptor Array Type 2s;Remove Magnetic Pulse on newly built ones, optional on refitted models;Reduce maximum warp speed to Warp 7.5;Add Cloaking Device;PDC: +2 CombatD7 mk2 follow similar tactics as the originals, except instead of using the magnetic pulse weapon, they'll start combat cloaked if they can, or after a phaser and photon torpedo attack, will cloak to move into a better position to make its next attack. Groups will cloak half its forces and alternate between groups attacking and cloaked to regenerate shields and make repairs if required. Akif ClassThis variant of the D7 were D7s sold to the Romulan Star Empire, modified with Romulan operating systems and fitted with a cloaking device. These were only used by the Romulan Star Empire during the 23rd century when the Klingons and Romulans had an alliance, before relations broke down.Make following changes to D7 to make Akif:Add cloaking Device;PDC +1 Agile ShipsAll Star Trek ships are more agile for their size, gaining a +1 Dodge bonus to Defense as long as the ship moves. Easy to RepairDue to the nature of the technology in this universe, especially Federation or Borg technology, all repairs have DC reduced by -4, and time reduced by 25%. Swiss-Army TechDue to the adaptable nature of the technology, and skilled engineers, especially those in the Federation, a piece of technology can be jury-rigged and modified to do something it wasn't originally intended to do, as long as it is within reason (GM discretion), such as modifying the deflector array into a type of energy weapon, albeit limited use. Modifying a device this way means it can not be used for its original purpose at the same time, and requires a Knowledge: Technology check DC 18 and Repair check DC 21 and 5 +1d6 minutes for moderate changes (such as deflector array being used as a means to emit a type of energy as a weapon); while more extensive modifications require a Knowledge: Technology check DC 25  and Repair check DC 30, and 30 +2d10 minutes. This type of modification means the item is unable to be used for its original purpose until it has been restored to its original configuration. Shield DependentStar Trek ships have powerful shields, having the equivalent of Deflector Shields (d20 Future pg 42) and provide bonus HP against all attacks equal to 20 HP / starship HD + 25% HD, for example, a ship with 5 HD (100 HP) will have shields with 125 HP. However as they have developed incredible powerful shields, they are a bit lacking in the armour department, suffering -2 hit dice per category and subtype. There are a few exceptions to this rule, being Klingon, Dominion and Hirogen ships which have standard hit dice for their subtype and category, with a few notable other ships, such as the Defiant class. Disruptor Cannon Type 2Disruptors are a type of energy weapon, typically thoron-based giving them a typically green coloured energy bolt, with high damage potential, but lack the multiple settings, and are capable of only 2 power levels. They are shorter ranged than phasers, and not as accurate, but deal greater damage. Can switch between 6d12 lower power or 12d12 full power shots.Damage: 12d12, 20x3Damage Type: Fire/EnergyRange Increment: 4500 ftRate of Fire: SemiMinimum Ship Size: GargantuanPurchase DC: 41Restriction: Mil (+3)Note: -1 to attack Disruptor Array Type 2Disruptor arrays are similar to disruptors, except they care able to fire in beams, although weaker than a standard disruptor, but are able to act as turrets, firing in almost any direction. Can switch between 5d12 lower power or 12d12 full power shots.Damage: 10d12, 20x3Damage Type: Fire/EnergyRange Increment: 4000 ftRate of Fire: SemiMinimum Ship Size: GargantuanPurchase DC: 43Restriction: Mil (+3) Heavy Disruptor Cannon Type 2Heavy Disruptors are a type of energy weapon, typically thoron-based giving them a typically green coloured energy bolt, with high damage potential, lacking any variable power settings, used for heavy assaults, but are even more inaccurate than normal disruptors. Ignores 15 points of hardness/DR, suffers -2 to attack rolls.Damage: 16d12, 20x3Damage Type: Fire/EnergyRange Increment: 4500 ftRate of Fire: SingleMinimum Ship Size: ColossalPurchase DC: 45Restriction: Mil (+3)Note: -2 to attack rolls, ignores 15 points of hardness/DR. Magnetic PulseThis is an experimental weapon developed by the Klingon Empire in an attempt to create an ultimate weapon. It failed to meet expectations, but if used wisely it can be a devastating weapon.This energy weapon fires a specialized pulse of energy contained within a magnetic field that upon impact with a target, it causes damage to the shields and partly passes through them to damage the hull. The weapon also destabilizes the magnetic containment fields of the anti-matter pods of ships with matter/anti-matter power sources. The weapon deals 5d20 points of energy damage to shields plus half damage direct to the hull, ignoring half the hardness provided by the armour unless the armour has a magnetic protection in it, or the ship has a magnetic field or shields activated, in which case damage to hull and shields is halved. The target hit must make a Fortitude save DC 17 +1 per times hit by the Magnetic Pulse. Ships get a base Fortitude save bonus based on type (ultralight -1, light +0, mediumweight +1, heavy +2, superheavy +3. Ships do not use pilot's Fortitude bonus or modifiers). On a failed save the target's anti-matter pods start to destabilize, causing power reductions, with a 50% chance of causing a warp core breach in 1d6+2 rounds. Engineers must make a Repair check DC 30 + 1/times the ship was struck with a Magnetic Pulse to repair the containment systems. During this time, the ship suffers -25% speed (rounding down to nearest 500 ft), reduce weapon damage by 25%, range by 25%.These weapons are large, and slow to fire, requiring at least a destroyer to mount even one (minimum ship size colossal, type light, subtype destroyer or larger) and takes up two weapons worth to the limit that the ship can carry. The weapon can only be fired once every other round, suffers -4 to attack rolls as the weapon is inaccurate.Damage: Special, see descriptionDamage Type: Special, see descriptionRange Increment: 5000 feetRate of Fire: Single, every other roundMinimum Ship Size: Colossal (Light type: destroyer subtype or larger)Purchase DC: 51Restriction: Rare Military (+5)Photon TorpedoPhoton torpedoes are anti-matter weapons with variable yields. These weapons usually draw their anti-matter from the equipped ship's own anti-matter supplies. These torpedoes require special containment and feeding systems to load and unload the anti-matter after a fight. At its lowest setting, the torpedo can do 3d20 to a single target, or deal this damage to a 2000 ft square, and can increase damage by 1 die up to a maximum of 12d20, but reduce the maximum radius by 100 ft per die increase, Reflex save DC 19 for half damage when set for an area.. The damage can be to the maximum radius, or to a single target. These weapons are very dangerous in an atmosphere and are usually banned from planetary use except in special circumstances. If used in a planetary atmosphere, deals damage to an area +50% greater, and if set for a single target, deals half damage to a 100 ft area, and Reflex saves in an atmosphere is increased to 21 for half damage. If the ship loses all power while in battle, there is a 50% chance that a loaded torpedo loses containment and it detonates, dealing damage to the equipped ship, ignore its armour hardness.Damage: variesDamage Type: EnergyRange Increment: -Rate of Fire: SingleMinimum Ship Size: HugePurchase DC: 31Restriction: Mil (+3) Heavy ShieldsThese shields are stronger than standard shields, providing greater protection. These shields provide 30 hp per HD of the ship equal to one-fourth the starship's overall Hit Dice (rounded down, minimum 1).PDC: Shield type +2Restriction: Res +2 D7A K't'agga, aka Painbringer ClassThe D7A K't'agga is a variant of the D7 battlecruiser, that is very similar in design, however it is slightly shorter, the rear hull is a little larger. It removes the torpedo launcher, carries 7 shuttles, up to 400 troops, allowing it to fill the role of a troop transport as well as combat vessel. To aid in the role of troop transport, the D7A comes with 3 standard transporters (6 person), 5 combat deployment (22 person), 1 evacuation (18 person) and 2 cargo transporters. D7A K't'agga Class (PL6)Type: MediumweightSubtype: CruiserSize: Colossal (-8)Tactical Speed: 3000 ftDefense: 7 (10 -8 size +3 class +2 dex) +1 DodgeFlat-Footed Defense: 5Autopilot Defense: 5Hardness: 30Hit Dice: 170d20 (3400 hp) shield 4250 hpInitiative Modifier: +2Pilot's Class Bonus: +3Pilot's Dex Modifier: +2Gunner's Attack Bonus: +2Length: 709 ftWeight: 100,300 tonsTargeting System Bonus: +3Crew: 200 (trained +4)Passenger Capacity: 20 + 320 troopsCargo Capacity: 6000 tonsCarried Craft: 7 shuttlesGrapple Modifier: +16Base PDC: 63Restriction: Mil (+3)Attack:Fire-linked Disruptor cannon type 2 -6 ranged (18d12, 20x3, fire/energy, 4500 ft) and disruptor array -11 ranged (10d12, 20x3, fire/energy, 4000 ft, turret); orDisruptor array type 2 -6 ranged (10d12, 20x3, fire/energy, 4000 ft, turret) and Disruptor array type 2 -11 ranged (10d12, 20x3, fire/energy, 4000 ft, turret) Attack of Opportunity: Standard PL(6-7) Design Spec:, Agile ship, combat transporters, shuttlebay (7 shuttles), barracks, medbayEngines: thrusters, Warp Drive 8 (cruising 6)Armour: vanadamDefense Systems: heavy shields, autopilot, damage control system (3d10)Sensors: Class IV, targeting systemCommunications: Radiotransceiver, subspace transceiverWeapons: 2 disruptor cannon type 2, 2 disruptor array type 2 Grappling Systems: tractor beam CombatThe Painbringer class will usually work with other ships that will act as its escort, it will fire weapons to lower the shields of its target along with its escorts, then transport troops over before moving back out of combat. Combat TransportersCombat transporters are rated to transport a large number of troops down to a planet quickly. Each capable of transporting 22 troops in a round, able to cycle and ready to transport another group next round if all troops are able to get onto the pad quickly. With all 5 transporters running at once, a K't'agga can transport 110 troops in a single round if all troops are in position. Typically transports 12 troops per transporter in combat formation each round. Agile ShipsAll Star Trek ships are more agile for their size, gaining a +1 Dodge bonus to Defense as long as the ship moves. Easy to RepairDue to the nature of the technology in this universe, especially Federation or Borg technology, all repairs have DC reduced by -4, and time reduced by 25%. Swiss-Army TechDue to the adaptable nature of the technology, and skilled engineers, especially those in the Federation, a piece of technology can be jury-rigged and modified to do something it wasn't originally intended to do, as long as it is within reason (GM discretion), such as modifying the deflector array into a type of energy weapon, albeit limited use.
