Overview

Improving on the powerful Bortas-class Heavy Battlecruiser, the Bortasqu'-class War Cruiser features additional engineering capabilities.

The Bortasqu'-class Battlecruisers are the largest, most powerful battlecruisers in the Klingon arsenal. Their massive hulls afford them incredible resilience in battle, but they sacrifices turn rate for their bulk. The Bortasqu'-class Command Cruiser comes with a standard cloaking device, but its massive energy signature means the cloak is less effective than it would be on a smaller vessel. The Bortasqu' is designed to take on any foe no matter how powerful, and because of that is designed with versatility in mind.

Class variants

Class	Information
Bortasqu' class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The first in a new generation of Klingon starships, the Bortasqu' class introduced various weapons and technologies that would be used in the design of other powerful warships in the future. It is a refit of the Bortas-class Heavy Battlecruiser, with a HoH'SuS Bird-of-Prey integrated into the aft hull structure.
Gorkon class	SKIN UNLOCK: Gorkon Science Battlecruiser, 3,000 Of all the Klingon Flagships, the Gorkon class most closely resembles the original Bortasqu' class. Compared to its predecessor, the ship is somewhat flatter in design. Instead of one larger warp nacelle, the Gorkon has three, circularly-oriented nacelles on the tip of each wing.
Kahless class	SKIN UNLOCK: Kahless War Battlecruiser, 3,000 Like other Klingon Bortasqu' Flagships, the Kahless class is lathered in weapons, features powerful engines and enough space for all the multi-purpose war-time goodness. While based on the original design for the Bortasqu', the ship also shares similarities with the Mogh-class Battlecruiser.
Martok class	SKIN UNLOCK: Martok Tactical Battlecruiser, 3,000 A tactical variant, the Martok class is a bit more slender and aggressive when compared to its sister classes. A set of four big cannons on the front of this ship helps bring out a bit more of the "battle" in the battlecruiser classification.
