Birok class

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

The Birok class strike cruiser was deployed by the Klingon Defense Force in the 24th century (and possibly earlier).

As strike cruisers, Biroks lacked the firepower and endurance of full battle cruisers, but in packs or supporting heavier ships they could be quite effective.

Birok class vessels took part in a number of skirmishes against Cardassian ships during the Betreka Nebula Incident, and continued service through the Dominion War and its aftermath. By the 2370s, however, the design was dated and the Biroks were being replaced with the more modern Karas-class strike cruiser.
