History:

This was a submission by Kirik Design Bureau in 2282, intended to be a streamlined and compacted replacement for Heavy and Light Cruisers, and make use of 1X Technology. The Design was put on hold, revised and tossed around by Engineers and Admirals alike for a few years, before the Genesis Scare force Kirik and Klolode Shipyards to put the D-17 and a few Destroyer and Battleship classes into production.

After noting the success of the D-26 K'teremny, and how it was somehow a Destroyer with the Firepower of a Heavy Cruiser, the D-17 was revised slightly, and then redesignated a Destroyer. It was a success against the Federation, Kzinti and Hydrans, and made use of wider arcs, as with some designs by Robiklingcon industries. It was cramped, even by Klingon standards, but made use of powerful engines and carried as many troops as a full-size cruiser, making the vessels useful until the last two were destroyed in the Klingon Civil War in 2368.

The Class's name translates to "Bringer of Lightning", and the Class was produced at a rate of 6 per year. Production stopped due to the Praxis Incident.

Noteworthy Vessels/Encounters: I.K.S K'Hoschuga; - Prototype, I.K.S Drexa; - fought in Federation-Klingon Fleet Battle (2290), I.K.S Murgan; - raided a few UFP outposts and freighters in border war (2291), later narrowly escaped Andromedan Intruder (2292)
