Notes: The cha'bI'rel class Bird of Prey is another addition to the Klingons' Strike Cruiser type of warship, capable of delivering a more substantial punch over the standard bI'rel class light cruiser.

The cha'bI'rel class features a next-step upgrade in its weapons, armor and sensor packages. As the defensive and offensive capabilities of the Klingons' battle fleets continues to rise, the cha'bI'rel class will surely be an essential part of fulfilling those needs.
