Notes: The Hegh Duj class heavy cruiser is another variation of the vor'cha class attack cruiser, with a slight twist. The nacelle pylons of this class are capable of being manipulated, much like the Bird of Prey design ships. The Hegh Duj class is capable of delivering a comparable punch in a slightly heavier space frame than its older cousin. As the defensive and offensive capabilities of the Klingons' battle fleets continues to rise, the Hegh Duj class will surely be an essential part of fulfilling those needs.
