Nov Dyson Science Destroyer

The Nov-class was first introduced as a limited-time reward for participating in the 4 Year Anniversary Event by collecting 1000. Players who claimed this ship or its Federation or Klingon Empire counterparts from that event may reclaim it now on all Klingon Defense Force and Jem'Hadar-aligned KDF characters on their account via the Event Reputation Account Reward Claim tab.

Overview
The Dyson Joint Command’s engineering and scientific efforts within the Solanae Dyson Sphere have yielded incredible results. The Romulan Republic, Klingon Defense Force, and Federation have all been able to adapt the astonishing technologies found within this artificial celestial structure to their own ends. The Nov-class Dyson Science Destroyer is one of the Joint Command's newest vessels inspired by designs found within the Solanae Dyson Sphere, but adapted to suit the needs of Klingon Empire without the required use of Omega Particles. These starships are first and foremost a Science Vessel, but are capable of entering Tactical Mode to significantly alter their performance.

The use of the word "Nov" &mdash; the Klingon word for "Alien" &mdash; as a class designation is telling, as the Nov's smooth, rounded surfaces and white-and-purple coloration (brought by the incorporation of Solanae Dyson Sphere materials and technology into the design) feel almost at odds with the more pragmatic, rustic design sensibilities favored by the Klingon, Nausicaan, Orion, and Gorn shipbuilders that make up the KDF fleet.

The Nov class most closely resembles the Peghqu'-class Heavy Destroyer. A dramatic visual change occurs when the Tactical Mode is activated - the dorsal dome closes to protect the secondary deflector, ship's nacelles retract, shortening their length slightly, and armored panels slide out to shield their exposed "glow" portions. The Nov's Proton Dual Heavy Cannons then swing outward from the leading edges of the pylons.
