Notes: The most successful design of vessel in Klingon history, the B'Rel class has been in service in larger numbers and subtypes for a longer than any other class in known space. First fielded in the 2260's, the B'Rel was built from the start to fill a variety of roles. As a special operations ship she would using her cloak to penetrate the Federation border and attack lightly defended targets such as sensor outposts, communications relays and cargo craft, creating confusion in advance of a Klingon fleet attack. She is also a natural scout ship, ideal for locating and tracking Federation and Romulan fleets from under cloak. During the long period of tensions between the Federation and Klingon Empire, many B'Rel class vessels operated as Raiders, cruising deep inside Federation space to pick off occasional lone vessels or outposts.

Although the B'Rel was a potent threat to the Federation in this role, one such vessel was captured by Admiral Kirk in 2285. Admiral Kirk was at this time operating without Starfleet authority. The ship later sank in San Francisco Bay during an attempted landing. The ship was raised from the water and studied. This provided crucial information in devising countermeasures for use against the B'Rel. It aided in Starfleet's efforts to modify sensor networks already in operation on its ships and installations in order to increase their effectiveness. Despite this, these vessels have remained a factor to be reckoned with ever since. Many hundreds continue in service today, having been vastly upgraded over the years.

In design the B'Rel conforms to Klingon norms, with a single torpedo tube at the extreme forward point of the hull. The bridge is above this, with crew quarters located in the neck section. The rear of the ship comprises the engineering compartments and a small cargo bay. A pair of wings carry disrupter cannon at their tips, while a single fire emergency torpedo tube provides a backup to the main armament. The wings allow the B'Rel to operate in an atmosphere and landing gear is fitted.
