This was my entry into the Ships of the Line calendar contest, in which fans were invited to visually define a [placeholder here] bit of Trek lore. (I didn't win.) Bigger: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/307/4/5/drake_and_bops_08_1080p_by_fuzzymodem-d857ex5.jpg During the brief Federation-Klingon War in 2373, the Drake and the USS Armstrong were ambushed by a Klingon battle group and both ships suffered heavy casualties before escaping to Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising") http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/USS_Drake_(2373) Fuzzy Modem fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Nov 4, 2014 |

Applewhite posted:Trick question. Those are Romulan Ships. Actually, you are almost correct. When the Bird of Prey was introduced in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, originally Klingon Commander Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) was to steal a Romulan Bird of Prey for her cloaking device. The screenplay was shortened however, and this bit was cut, so the Bird of Prey simply became a Klingon vessel. In the original series however, the only ships referred to as Birds of Prey were Romulan. In the next generation they started calling Romulan ships Warbirds to distinguish them.
