IKV DI'al

IKV DI'al
Registry:
Class:	Negh'Var Class Dreadnought
Launched:	2404.04.05
Commanding Officer:	Captain
First Officer:	Commander
Status:	Holodeck Program

The Holo-adventure ship the IKV DI'al is part of a semi-ongoing holodeck recreational program aboard the Mithrandir.

One of the most powerful Klingon designs ever constructed, this ship has incredible firepower and was designed to overwhelm opponents. These ships are the largest vessels ever built by the Klingons to carry cloaking devices. The Negh'Var has powerful shields that are capable of withstanding heavy damage before going down. The ship is heavily armored as well, to withstand heavy damage even when the shields are down. The ship has four warp engines with two one either side of the body and has two impulse engines.

Introduction

Affiliation: Klingon Empire

Active: 24th century - 25th century (alternate timelines)

The Negh'Var warship was the largest class starship known to operate in the Klingon Defense Forces during the late 24th century.

In 2372, the IKS Negh'Var was the flagship of the Klingon Imperial Fleet. While under the command of General Martok, she led the Klingon Empire's invasion of the Cardassian Union on stardate 49011. She thereafter fought an action at Deep Space 9, where she was able to breach the station's shields long enough to transport several troops. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")

In the mirror universe, the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance utilized the same design in the construction of the Regent's flagship. (DS9: "Shattered Mirror", "The Emperor's New Cloak")

In an unknown, alternate future timeframe, these ships were slightly modified in configuration. They could easily outgun an Olympic-class hospital ship, yet were outgunned themselves by the Galaxy-class counterpart of the era. The USS Pasteur was attacked by two of these attack cruisers while in the Devron system. The crew of the Pasteur was saved by the USS Enterprise-D, after destroying one of the Klingon vessels. (TNG: "All Good Things...")

In another alternate timeline, these vessels were again slightly modified by 2404, to yet another slightly different configuration. At that time, disruptor fire from one of these vessels was essentially ineffective against Starfleet ablative hull armor. (VOY: "Endgame")

Notes : Built during the 2360's, the Negh'Var was designed for unparalleled protection and firepower; her sheer size was intended to allow her to carry an armament powerful enough to overwhelm any opponent, present or future. She emerged from the shipyards as the largest vessel ever built by the Klingon Navy, at over twenty two hundred feet long.

The main armament of the Negh'Var comprises a pair of huge disruptor cannon,1 the largest such weapons ever built. Although they are the most powerful mobile weapons on any alpha quadrant ship, the weapons are able to fire over a very limited arc. Since the Negh'Var herself is not exactly a manoeuvrable ship, the intention of these weapons seems to be to deal with the heavy shielding associated with large space installations, fixed defensive systems and planetary arrays.1 Engaging other vessels falls to the 18 Mark 12 disruptor cannon distributed across the hull; while these are only a fraction as powerful as the Mark 18 weapons, they are at least equal in firepower to the Starfleet Type X phaser array and hence among the most powerful in service.

The Negh'Var is equally well equipped for defensive operations. The shield systems are based on those used in the defence platforms protecting the Klingon home world, and the hull itself is constructed of a high density armour plate. As with recent Federation designs, the structural integrity field is rated at more than triple the normal standard, allowing it to considerably reinforce the armoured hull and provide a powerful backup protection.

Although its primary role is in destroying fixed defences and enemy vessels, the Negh'Var apparently has a considerable secondary role in landing and supporting troops. Some ten thousand can be carried on board, and the ship has over thirty personnel transporters and large numbers of landing craft to carry them. She can carry supplies for up to ten days of surface fighting, and if necessary can support the ground forces by both orbital bombardment and warhead transporting.

Launched in 2371, the Negh'Var is currently serving as the Flagship of the Klingon fleet. Her first combat action was during the Klingon-Cardassian war,1 where she was responsible for destroying six Cardassian vessels, twenty three defence platforms and overwhelming the planetary shields on eight Cardassian worlds. She thereafter fought an action at Deep Space Nine, where she was able to breach the stations shields for long enough to land several hundred troops.1 She has since seen considerable success during the Dominion war, adding to her fearsome reputation.

Warp Speeds (TNG Scale)

Normal Cruise: seems to vary between Warp Factor 5 and WF8, depending on source material.

Maximum Cruise: seems to vary between Warp Factor 9.2 and WF 9.4, depending on source material.

Maximum Rated: seems to vary between Warp Factor 9.4 and WF9.6 for 12 hours, depending on source material.

Warp Nacelles (4): 30,000 each

Stardrive: Uses a warp engine to travel faster that the speed of light.

Without the Weapons Pod, The ship can travel at Warp Factor 7.0 on cruise (0.075 light years per hour), Warp Factor 9 Flank (0.17 Light Years per hour), and Warp Factor 9.6 Emergency (0.22 Light Years per Hour).

With the Weapons Pod, the ship can travel at Warp Factor 6.5 on cruise (0.058 light years per hour), Warp Factor 8.5 Flank (0.141 Light Years per hour), and Warp Factor 9.1 Emergency (0.018 Light Years per Hour).

Speed is calculated using a formula designed to emulate Star Trek: Next Generation speeds. These speeds are very slow when compared to Phase World ships, so if used in that universe, they could be increased enough to operate within Three Galaxy speeds but should not exceed them.

Maximum Range: Effectively Unlimited by either Drive system. The ship carries about five years worth of supplies on board and a small hydroponic section.

Power System: Anti Matter with 15 year life span. Ship normally only goes 5 years between the ship being refueling.

A. Mega Disruptor Mounts (2): These are mounted out on the wings of the ship and are in the same place as the pulse disruptors on the smaller bird of prey are located at. They are upgraded when compared to the phasers used on the K'T'Inga class battlecruiser. Used as anti-capital ship weapons and can take out frigates in one shot or do large amounts of damage to bases or larger ships and have a far longer range than the pulse disruptors. The Disruptor cannons can be combined or used separately. They cannot be used faster than the speed of light. Weapon has standard penalties to hit fighters and small targets. The barrels can be fired forward only but can be rotated 30 degrees horizontally or vertically.

1. Range: 93,300 miles (150,000 km) in space and 93.3 miles (150 km) in an atmosphere.

2. Mega Damage: 2D4x1000 MDC each and can be combined for a damage equal to 4D4x1000.

3. Rate of fire: Maximum of Three (3) times per melee per cannon.

4. Payload: Effectively Unlimited.

Four disruptor banks are located in the front of the ship, two disruptor banks are located on each side, and four disruptor banks are located aft. The weapon's damage is about equal to laser cannons used by the CAF but the Disruptors have a greater rate of fire. The disruptors are also slightly shorter ranged but only slightly. Both Disruptor Cannons in each bank can be linked or can be fired separately. They cannot be used faster than the speed of light. Weapon systems have half penalties to hit fighters and small targets.

1. Range: 12,437 miles (20,000 km) in space and 12.4 miles (20 km) in an atmosphere.

2. Mega Damage: 2D6x100 each or 4D6x100 for both cannons in a bank.

torpedoes KP-10 (x2)

Torpedo Tubes (4, 2 Forward & 2 Aft): 1,000 each

External Weapons Pod: 15,000 

C. Four (4) Photon Torpedo Launching Systems: The ship has four launchers mounted in the main hull of the ship. Two of the mounts are on the forward of the ship and the other two are on the aft of the ship.

1. Effectively very similar to cruise missile launchers but instead of having groups of multiple launchers, the Klingon Empire has concentrated on launchers that can launch more than one torpedo at the same time. Once spread of torpedoes has been launched, the launchers must reload and rearm before launching another spread of torpedoes.

2. Torpedoes have a top speed of Mach 25 in an atmosphere and in space has an acceleration of 10% of light per turn (far faster than any starship). When drive goes dead, the torpedo will still cruise unless preset to self destruct or receives a destruct code but has very low odds of hitting star ships (Great for hitting bases and planets because target does not move and torpedoes when dead are -25% to detect.) See Modified starship rules for more details, Torpedoes have minuses to hit small targets but are all considered smart missiles. Launchers can launch on multiple targets each.

3. Range: Powered torpedo range is 8000 miles (12,875 km) in an atmosphere and 4,000,000 miles (6,437,376 km/ 21.5 light seconds) in space

4. Mega-Damage & Properties: Photon Torpedoes (Matter/Anti-Matter Warheads): Old Series inflict 2D6x100 each, Star Trek Movies One through Six inflict 3D6x100, and Next Generation inflicts 4D6x100 each.

5. Rate of fire: One at a time or in volleys of 2, or 4 per launcher, per melee round, for a maximum of 16 torpedoes per melee. Launchers are reloaded on the same melee and can be fired again on the next.

6. Payload: 200 Photon torpedoes each launcher (800 total)

Photon Torpedo Tubes

Magazine Capacity:

Weapons Pods: The ship can carry a variety of different weapons pods. One pod has all torpedo launchers, another pod has just disruptor pods, and one pod has a mixture of both pod type. The type of pod carried or if one is carried depends on ships mission and the captains requests.

A. Type 1 (Photon Torpedo Pod): The pod has four photon torpedo launchers in it. The payload for each launcher is less than the payload carried for the two internal launchers. Two launchers fire forward and two launchers fire aft. Effectively very similar to cruise missile launchers but instead of having groups of multiple launchers, the Klingon Empire has concentrated on launchers that can launch more than one torpedo at the same time. Once spread of torpedoes has been launched, the launchers must reload and rearm before launching another spread of torpedoes. Torpedoes has a top speed of Mach 25 in an atmosphere and in space has an acceleration of 10% of light per turn (far faster than any starship).

See Modified starship rules for more details, Torpedoes have minuses to hit small targets but are all considered smart missiles. Launchers can launch on multiple targets each.

1. Range: Powered torpedo range is 8000 miles (12,875 km) in an atmosphere and 4,000,000 miles (6,437,376 km/ 21.5 light seconds) in space

2. Mega-Damage & Properties: Photon Torpedoes (Matter/Anti-Matter Warheads): Old Series inflict 2D6x100 each, Star Trek Movies One through Six inflict 3D6x100, and Next Generation inflicts 4D6x100 each.

3. Rate of fire: One at a time or in volleys of 2 or 4 per launcher, per melee round, for a maximum of 16 torpedoes per melee. Launchers are reloaded on the same melee and can be fired again on the next.

4. Payload: 800 torpedoes (because the launchers are right next to each other they all use the same magazine).

B. Type 2 (Mega Disruptor Pod): The pod has two mega-disruptors in it. Used as anti-capital ship weapons and can take out frigates in one shot or do large amounts of damage to bases or larger ships. The Disruptor cannons can be combined or used separately. They cannot be used faster than the speed of light. Weapon has standard penalties to hit fighters and small targets. The barrels can be fired either forward or behind and can be rotated 30 degrees horizontally or vertically.

1. Range: 93,300 miles (150,000 km) in space and 93.3 miles (150 km) in an atmosphere.

2. Mega Damage: 2D4x1000 MDC each and can be combined for a damage equal to 4D4x1000.

3. Rate of fire: Maximum of Three (3) times per melee per cannon.

4. Payload: Effectively Unlimited.

C. Type 3 (General Weapons Pod):

C1. Five (6) banks of 2 Siege Disruptor Cannons: The weapons damage is about equal to laser cannons used by the CAF but the Disruptors have a greater rate of fire.

INTERPHASE CLOAKING DEVICE

Mark 3.2b Klingon, ghomSo'wI'-Class Plasma Matrix Strategic type Cloaking Device

The Klingon Negh'Var class Attack Cruiser has a cloaking device that allows the ship to be undetectable by most sensors. The Klingon Empire originally got their cloaking technology from the Romulans but has since been able to both copy and improve on their cloaking technology. In phase world this system has the problem that it does not hide the ships signature on gravitic sensors (This is even more of a weakness on Romulan ships because they use a black hole in their power systems). The starship cannot raise shields or fire any weapons while cloaked, for one attack previous to cloaking, or just after decloaking. When attacking and if ship is not detected, the ship has +8 initiative bonus against a target that is not alerted and +4 initiative bonus against targets that are alerted (at general quarters). If the cloaked ship get a higher initiative, the ship can both raise its combat shields and can fire its weapons previous to any opponents attacks. Each time the ship main body gets damaged, the is a percentage chance the cloaking device will be damaged. This is done by determining the total damage the ship has sustained and dividing that by the amount of damage the ship can take (150,000 in the Negh'Var Dreadnoughts case) and getting a percentage of the hull that the ship has taken for damage. A percentile roll is then made. If the percentile roll is less than the percentage of damage the cloaking device is damaged and will be non operational.
