Category:Bird of Prey (Klingon)

Birds of Prey are smaller vessels that typical serve as scout, patrol and reconnaissance ships. They are among the fastest and most maneuverable of ships. With their battle cloaking technology, they act as fast attack hit-and-run warship. The bird of prey can approach on-cloak to engage at point blank range with forward-facing cannons and torpedoes, then cloak and speed away. It typically has a tremendous punch and great agility and speed compared to the Raptor and Battle Cruiser. The ship has a weaker hull and shields and a smaller crew.

Birds of Prey are considered Raiders, and deal bonus damage when attacking an enemy's rear arc. The damage bonus depends on the ship, but it can range from +25% to +33% against NPCs. This damage bonus stacks with the Intelligence Specialization flanking damage and critical bonuses.
