The IKC Rotarran

The Negh'Var class warship was the largest class of starship known to operate in the Klingon Empire during the 2370's. They were first commissioned sometime before 2372, but by late 2375, multiple ships of the class were in service. (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind") They were still in service in the 2390's and the early 25^th century, having become mainstays of the Klingon fleet.

The outboard plan of the Negh'Var warship design incorporated the same basic shape and classic lineage dating back over two hundred years; indeed, sharing a strong resemblance to the era's Vor'cha class attack cruiser.

The bridge module was separated from the main body by a thick neck that flared towards the aft of the ship into the forward-swept wings, which were reinforced by raised supports and contained the ship's embedded warp nacelles. Contained within these wings were the ship's impulse engines. Below the primary hull were two weapons pods. A triangular superstructure was located on the dorsal section of the ship. The ship was also outfitted with several spikes, located on the aft of the triangular superstructure and warp nacelles.

Heavily armed, the Negh'Var warship were equipped with several disruptor emplacements. The original design had an emplacement located at the tips of the pods located on the underside of the ship's belly. This class could also equipped with a cloaking device.
