Itsmassive phasers, photon torpedo launchers, powerfulshields, and large crew complement are used to defendthe borders of the Klingon Empire against any foe.There are few ships in the galaxy that can withstand thecombined force of a fleet of Negh’Vars.Special Weapon: Ion CannonThe Ion Cannon fires a single, powerful blast of ionized energy that decimatesan enemy target.Jach’Eng-classThe Jach’Eng, built out of the Shockwave Facility, iscrewed with the bravest and most loyal warriors in thefleet. Officers assigned duty on a Jach’Eng are listed askilled in action as the vessel departs from theshipyard—they do not intend to come back. Captaininga Jach’Eng-class vessel is considered one of the highesthonors a Klingon warrior can achieve.Special Weapon: ShockwaveWhen the Jach’Eng detonates its only weapon, the Shockwave, it creates anexpanding wave of destruction that moves out in a direction, damagingeverything in its path. The resulting explosion also tears apart the hull of thefragile ship from the inside, killing the entire crew in the process. This is themost powerful weapon of the Klingon fleet, and one of the most destructiveforces in the known galaxy.THE KLINGON STATIONSKlingon StarbaseThe Klingon Starbase coordinates actions for theKlingon fleet in a sector of space. Once a starbase isoperational, crew begins to be transported into thecrew pool at a steady rate. Building additional starbaseswill increase this rate. The station can buildconstruction ships, cargo ships, repair ships, andfreighters, the basic units for establishing an outpostin the area. The Klingon Starbase is armed with an arrayof pulse phasers for defense.Klingon Dilithium RefineryThe Dilithium Refinery is necessary for harvesting andprocessing dilithium. The refinery comes with afreighter, which begins mining the nearest dilithiummoon or latinum nebula as soon as the mining station isoperational. Once the freighter has a full payload, itreturns to the refinery to process the raw load.Klingon Orbital Processing FacilityKlingon Orbital Processing Facilities are built byconstruction ships and are placed over a planet to tapthe planet’s metal resources. Once built, they stay in afixed orbit over the planet while mining.Klingon Disruptor CannonThe Klingon Disruptor Cannon is a small, unmanneddefensive platform. It provides support for Klingonoutposts by firing disruptors at all enemy vessels withinits range. You must have a starbase in order to build aDisruptor Cannon.40 41
