This event was well documented in the events leading up to the court martial of Admiral Kirk, and the ship was thereafter utilized for time traveling back to Earth's 20th century. Kirk the privilege of Starfleet capturing its first Klingon Bird-of-Prey. Kruge ultimately lost the battle, and his ship, allowing James T. After acquiring the information, the ship destroyed the Merchantman, and later the USS Grissom, before facing off against the USS Enterprise in orbit of the Genesis Planet. ( Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)Ī well-publicized encounter with a Bird-of-Prey occurred in 2285, when a Bird-of-Prey commanded by Kruge conducted a mission to uncover the secrets of Project Genesis. Hikaru Sulu was among those familiar with the class at that time, and was capable of visually identifying a Bird-of-Prey, as well as being familiar with its crew complement.
Starfleet possessed knowledge of the Bird-of-Prey during the 2280s. The menu screen on the Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Special Edition) DVD describes Klaa's ship as a "Bird-of-Prey D12-class." History Ferengi DaiMon Lurin acquired two of these vessels, complete with cloaking devices, and managed to make them space worthy once again, after a few repairs and the addition of some weapons. The Enterprise-D under attack by DaiMon Lurin's Birds-of-Preyīy the 2360s, it was not uncommon to find a B'rel-class Bird-of-Prey stripped and relegated to a surplus yard. A low level ionic pulse could cause the plasma coil to reset, which would activate the ship's cloaking device, thus lowering their shields. This could be exploited as a means of remotely disabling the ship's shields. The D12 class was retired from service by the 2350s due to faulty plasma coils, which were components of the cloaking systems.
The Klingons applied several class designations to the different types of their Bird-of-Prey design, including the K'vort-class, B'rel-class, and D12 class.
