| abstract | - The Sonchi ceremony with K'mpec's two possible successors, Gowron and Duras, took place aboard the ship shortly thereafter. Just as the ceremony was completed, one of Duras' aides detonated a bomb using a Romulan molecular decay detonator, killing himself and one of Gowron's men. (TNG: "Reunion" ) This unnamed vessel represents the first of its class ever seen in Star Trek. According to the Klingon Bird of Prey Owners' Workshop Manual, on page 118, this ship was the prototype IKS Vor'cha. According to Decipher's RPG reference book, Starships, this cruiser was the prototype IKS Vor'cha with the registry IKC-11500, although they mistakenly refer to the class as battle cruisers. For more information, see IKS Vor'cha at Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek works. It's also possible this ship was the IKS Bortas, which served as the flagship of K'mpec's successor, Gowron.
