The Bird-of-Prey was the classic Klingon starship. It is a fast and deadly scouting and raiding ship that has been at the heart of the Klingon Defense Force for centuries.
The first examples even pre-date Klingon spaceflight. Small fighters with the same basic layout have been in use since early planetary conflicts. That design has been modified over the centuries, first to incorporate impulse engines, then warp engines. Even fundamental changes to science have been incorporated into the same basic spaceframe. The Klingons have simply seen no need to change something that they believe is fundamentally correct.
By the late 2370s, the design of the Bird-of-Prey had been settled for over a century, but ships were produced at a variety of scales from vast K’vort-class battlecruisers to tiny scouting vessels. The archetypal version of the ship is the B’rel-class, a 139-meter long ship with seven decks and a crew of 36. The internal layout and even weaponry vary from ship to ship, but they are all capable of high warp speeds, and fitted with a cloaking device. To many Klingon minds, it was the perfect fighting vessel-as fast, tough and deadly as its crew.

There are many examples of Klingon women serving on military vessels. See the TNG episode from Season 2 where Riker serves on a Bird of Prey or many scenes from the Klingon Civil War in later seasons. If there is a lack of gender separation on their ships, it’s probably because it isn’t deemed important to them.

In canon there are multiple versions of the Bird of Prey, which resulted in different hull sizes and layouts. The B'rel and K'vort classes are just two of them that have been put on screen.

@VulpisFoxfire 2 года назад

Yep. Unlike the Feds who in most cases had to come up with an entirely new hull design for each ship, the Klingons found one that worked great, and just scaled it up as needed. And IIRC, it was the D-7 that they shared with the Romulans, who had their own 'Bird of Prey' design.

Also need to take into account the difference between the b'rel en k'vort class birds of prey. There is no ''THE'' Klingon bird of prey. The b'rel was a small scout ship, mainly from the tos movies. But the k'vort as seen in TNG is a much larger version of the bird of prey, even though it looks pretty much exactly the same as the b'rel from the outside.

It's mostly beta cannon, as it is never explicitly said in TNG, but almost all birds of prey from TNG are considered k'vort class and not b'rel. The 'vorn' , the 'rotarran' , the 'pagh', the 'hegh'ta', and so on are all considered k'vort class in most alpha or beta canon sources... But the shows were always a bit vague about this up until the rotarran showed up, when it is made pretty clear it's a k'vort and not a b'rel.

@auturgicflosculator2183 2 года назад

@@johanwittens7712 In my head canon, I imagine there are heaps of different versions of the class, it being an old workhorse that's been refit and modernized for upward of a century, and B'rel and K'vort are simply the most prominent subclasses in the TOS and TNG eras respectively. There might be actual evidence of this, or I might be making it up. I'm a bit foggy on the details. :P

Much of the time it seems between 100 and 150 meters, in Star Trek 3 onward. 450 feet was the 'official scale' given in the Haynes Bird of Prey Manual, too. Which depicts six to seven decks, also - in a very different layout. Have to say the cargo bay and corridor are pretty detailed and similar to the movie set, in that book - if maybe overscaled. Was this based on a FASA or Jackill deckplan?

@Clownboy15 2 года назад

One thing that doesn’t get mentioned is why the bridge of Kruge’s bird of prey looks completely different between STIII and STIV. In my own head canon I suppose that there was heavy damage done to the ship and the Vulcans couldn’t repair to Klingon standard so they retrofitted the ship with Vulcan parts.

@zAvAvAz Год назад

The bird of prey Romulan / vulcan design is the most survivable ship design in the universe in battle as far as redundancy and weapons potential potency as well as it's surprise attack ability, also its profile is harder to target at a distance than any other ship because of the boom design and it's detachability, the wings as physical deflectors in multiple positions offer special maneuvers during combat that a skilled pilot can create movements in battle sequence that are highly elusive. Another key is klingon red energy based weapon design and extra potency and vile out of range ballistics potential when fired at speed out of range can still paint target with it's shields down, cloaking upon firing a high powered red energy photon torpedos are highly dangerous, as the weaponry's energy is highly unstable and offers an erratic spiking energy potency.

Redundancy is not wasteful for a combat vessel. A damaged vessel can keep on fighting. Perhaps not quite as effectively, but a Bird of Prey at 60% is still a formidable warship. For a real world example, take a look at the Fairchild Republic A-10 Warthog attack/close air support jet.

The Klingon Bird of prey has a storage area design for really fresh food. To the Klingons, Fresh Food means living creatures. Klingons like to slaughter their food before eating it. It is likely that the larger creatures were set aside for important occasions. Likely due to reversing Federation technology, the Klingon Birds of Prey were able to store meat and other types of foods in refrigerators to free vital space.. Still a large part of the Cargo area is design for live food. It is likely that most of the live food are small food creatures which are vital to the Klingon diet. Still some large creatures were kept alive for important occasions. Around the time of the Bow Arrow Incident, a large amount of space was literally set aside for live food, By the late 24th Century, The Klingons were able to store more meat and other types of food in refrigerators. The Klingons have a reason for having refrigerators. Merely to free up more space. Still if a Klingon Crew have a choice between live food and refrigerating food, they will chose live food over refrigerating food. It is likely that on some ships, the Klingons have started to use replicators. They are using replicators to free up the space normally set aside for the storage of live food. Still a part of one of the cargo holds are set aside for live food esp. for the live smaller creatures. Yet some of the space has been set aside for the larger live food is meant for important occasions.

@@Halfscreen I think you should do it anyway. Considering your line of content I think you'll really enjoy it. They have a small series on Star Trek ships.

Its something that the Klingon dog christopher Lloyd's character was petting wasnt still on the ship, eatting klingon rats, that may have contaminated the SF bay , along with the fact you gotta wonder howrhe whales breathed , or how tome travel affected them.

Not sure where you got the dimensions from. It's always been a point of contention since there are different sizes of Bird of Prey, however the smaller classes, such as D12 and the more advanced B'Rel class were 109 metres in length. 51 meters is far, far too small.

@axelhopfinger533 2 года назад

As much as i like the iconic design of the BoP, i always found it to be too small for a practical space ship, even a pure war ship. Size fits more to a planetary defense or patrol craft.

@Idazmi7 2 года назад

That's sort of what it is. The Klingons most often use the Bird of Prey as a cheap, expendable patrol ship. The fact that it has a cloak makes it useful for ambush attacks, and in numbers they can swarm, but they're not useful for much else.

@auturgicflosculator2183 2 года назад

Kind of like the 20 meter long torpedo boats built in droves during WWII~

@lancerevell5979 2 года назад

Comparable to the Corvette class of warships in WWII. Small but often able to punch above their weight class. Or maybe more like a U-boat given their steath using the cloaking device. Similarly cramped accomodations.

So weird how the Bridge doesn't face forward like other ships. They're basically flying sideways.

@blackbelt2000 Год назад

The original Enterprise was like that as well. The whole bridge was angled towards the port side because of the position of the turbo lift.

@SCOTTEDM Год назад

@@blackbelt2000 Man that drives me nuts! I REALLY need those primary bridge positions and view screen to face forward or make the entire ship a saucer ha.

great video. just a small grip you used the D4 concept ship instead of the D7. beautiful ship but the scale really is highly debatable.

@@Halfscreen no biggie they are quite similar. the internal layout of the BOP is quite different from other sources i've seen. did you use a particular source or just your own imagination?

@daniellafferety4025 2 года назад

I always thought the bridge design should denote his/her bath rooms, and a loung/ food / drink service like a long range train does. Because if as in the real world you have a long shift some comfort is needed.

@tommo101able Год назад

i must admit i love the design of the Bird of Prey

@IanCthrwd 2 года назад

One major point you missed was, it was a Romulan/ Klingon design. Cloaking technology, Bird of Prey model and the alloys of material (green metal) were of Romulan origins.

@Halfscreen 2 года назад

I didn't recalled knowing about the green metal during my research. Thanks.

@IanCthrwd 2 года назад

@@Halfscreen Looking into it further, my mistake that it was green metal. The Warbird-era Romulan military vessels are PAINTED green….the colour of Romulan blood.
