Release date: February 2, 2010

The QulDun-class Bird-of-Prey is a Tier 2 (Level 10) Raider which may be flown by Klingon Defense Force characters, including Klingon Empire-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters. All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store.

Players can obtain this starship from any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 2,500 .  

This ship can also be obtained by Klingon Empire players for free upon reaching level 10 by using their free Starship Requisition token.

Overview

Birds-of-Prey are small, fast and fill a variety of roles for the Empire. They can be used as scouts, raiders or patrol ships. They're vulnerable when cloaked, but their speed and maneuverability make them hard to hit. Also, the Bridge Officer spaces on a Bird-of-Prey are mostly universal, which makes them more versatile.

It is said that commanders of the QulDun-class Birds-of-Prey overtake their foes like an inferno on a dry plain.

Class variants

Class	Information
QulDun class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The QulDun class is slightly different from the B'rel-class Bird-of-Prey. While using a classic Klingon design for the starship, the QulDun features no feathered wing pattern on the wings. The bridge section of the hull is more pointed and not as big as the B'rel's. The main hull is also slightly larger.
Qaw'Dun class	SKIN UNLOCK: Qaw'Dun Bird-of-Prey, 750 The Qaw'Dun class is significantly different from its QulDun counterpart, and features wings that are heavily centered forward, a head section that noses down slightly more and an engineering section that features a long sweeping dorsal plating that stretches half way through the neck to the head section.

Notes

• When starting level for Klingon Defense Force characters was raised to Level 20 (Commander) with Season 5 release, the QulDun Bird-of-Prey 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.
