The Naraden is the largest assault ship in the Klingon Navy. With the capability of putting its entire contingent of troops and vehicles on the ground in less than 15 minutes, this vessel is one of the most respected in known space. In most assault operations, these ships are used in groups of 3, the number of groups depending on the complexity of the operation.

The Naraden's disruptor armament is superior to that of most other ships, though the vessel's small power plant cannot adequately power all of them at any given time, forcing the ship's captain to shut down several of its disruptors in order to avoid stressing the reactor.
