NOTE: Expect NASY to go off line as Spaceports screws me even though I am a paying customer.

Ooh, nice paint job! Looks more Romulan than Klingon, though...

Believe me when I say it is modeled after a Klingon Bird of Prey.

It appears the movies really confused Romulan and Klingon ship designs when they made the Star Trek III film. I read the original story called for a Romulan ship, but typical Hollywood pandering to the lowest denominator decided it should be Klingon. Meanwhile the design's abilities (cloaking device, powerful central torpedo, green paint job, name "Bird of Prey" - since when (before ST3) did Klingons care about birds?) remained Romulan-like. I suspect this simplification is probably responsible for a low of post-ST3 Klingon ship design.

Better yet, search the old archives for member number 3174. I just spent about 2 hours looking at the old Posts and I must say that guy who caused that whole mess was not such a nice guy. (It was an interesting read though )
