Notes[ | ]
- The K'Tanco Battlecruiser did not exist when Star Trek Online first launched, and was added later by Cryptic in response to a lack of variety in lower tier Klingon ships.
- When starting level for Klingon Defense Force characters was raised to Level 20 (Commander) with Season 5 release, the K'Tanco Battlecruiser was removed from the playable ship roster. With the Legacy of Romulus expansion and the reinstatement of KDF players starting at Level 1, this ship was returned to the regular playable Klingon ship roster.
