History:
The D-15 became another attempt in having a larger Cruiser that could stand up to a Constitution or Carlin Class Starship in one-on-one combat, and further production and testing of D-15s was deemed necessary after the Organian Treaty, and with the Treaty of Smarba over three monthes later, Engineers refitted some D-7s with RPL-1 Plasma Torpedoes, creating the D-7G, and Scientists tried to study and reverse-engineer the Plasma Torpedoes, thus being able to create only 1d10 RPL-1s a year, and to further experiment with firepower, a pair of D-15s were refitted to D-15C configuration, the forward point-defense Disruptors being replaced with the RPL-1, the tactic of closing in for the massive Plasma Punch and overwhelming an enemy, and massive mass and power requirement of the RPL-1 leading to many Klingon Captains disliking the Weapon, but on the D-15, the Plasma fired from a more durable hull made a better slugfest combatant, and despite some promising results when three D-15s were converted to D-15D, with K'tinga-style advanced 0Xl tech and improved weapons, including the introduction of fore and aft Photon Torpedoes in 2272, the vessels were foudn to be too cumbersome, expensive and uninteresting compared to other large combatants such as the D-10 and L-9, and production was halted in 2273.
The Class's name means "Giant Castle", and the D-15A was not durable enough, and the Warp Engines were unstable, thus preventing the A Type from entering service, and revision into the D-15B occurred. The Class was produced at Mustaka and Hogh Balth Shipyards at a rate of 4 per year.
Noteworthy Vessels/Encounters: I.K.S pl'yateb; - Prototype, engaged U.S.S Kongo near Archanis IV (2267), I.K.S SaW'teng; - refitted with Plasma Torpedo (2269), destroyed against Northampton and Acropolis-Class Ships in the General War (2284), I.K.S Qos'Var; - refitted to D-15D, helped conquer much of Hydran Space in General War (2283-2284)
