Notes:

This is a rather poor rendering of Gene’s scout ship drawing – one of two you can find on his DeviantArt page. I added it to the lineup to help create some new Klingons for the Federaton (or Romulans) to fight before the TMP era. Although these could be stronger – their small size I think would be fitting to the era in question.
