Notes: The bIjwI' class Attack Carrier has become a solution to the Klingons' lack of resources needed for building new ships in order to replenish their fleet which was greatly diminished by the Dominion War. The bIjwI' design takes a page out of the qI'tI'nga design books and adds to it a second pair of warp nacelles, making 4 in all. The nacelles were developed for the vor'cha class attack cruisers, and since they have proven stable on that class, the Klingons merely used that design on the bIjwI'.
The bIjwI' features 2 matter/antimatter warp cores; one powers the main systems, while the other is used in emergency battle maneuvers to enhance the newly designed shields, cloak and structural integrity field, provide emergency power to the transporters for the purpose of launching marines into ground-attack situations, and to the fighter decks to launch fighters into space battle maneuvers. The marine decks also feature breaching pods to allow marines to breach and penetrate an enemy vessel. The bIjwI' class Attack Carrier is sure to become an extremely valuable part of the Klingon fleet in years to come.
