| Description: |
With the Klingon High Command finally realizing that there was no hope of
matching the Federation's Excelsiors with their own Komo Vals ship for ship, and
with the venerable C-18 Dreadnought being upgraded to the K'Shen and filling
the duties of the Komo Val nicely, it was decided that the Komo Val hull could
be better utilized in another role. Noting the lack of a dedicated torpedo
cruiser hull in their order of battle since the somewhat lackluster K'T'amar
design of 2271, the High Command chose to refit the Komo Val to fill this role.
Choosing to throw subtlety and caution to the wind, the Komo Val had its
entire medium disruptor complement replaced with four Heavy Photon Torpedoes,
bringing the total to eight with six of them firing forward. The light disruptor
complement was retained in a weak concession to defensive concerns. The
resulting Komo Var Battlecruiser was a fearsome addition to the Klingon battle line
and would inspire other dedicated torpedo ships such as the Torath Torpedo
Cruiser and the Vod'leq Heavy Cruiser.
