\nThe IKS is nothing if not resourceful. The shipwrights of K\u2019linsann have become masters of taking mismatched components and fusing them into effective fighting craft. A prime example of this is the I-6 nuH bey\u2019<\/em> class battlecruiser. First documented in the early 2290s, the Stargun<\/em> class rapidly made a name for itself as a skirmisher and raiding cruiser.<\/p>\n

Nimble, fast, and well-armed, these ships boasted six powerful disruptors and no less than four torpedo tubes. IKS captains utilize these tactical systems in classic \u201cswoop and shoot\u201d attacks that batter down an opponent\u2019s shields in short order. <\/p>\n

That isn\u2019t to say that the ship has no weaknesses. In order to power its systems to maximum effect, two impulse generators were shoehorned into the secondary hull. The resulting draw on its fuel reserves limits its operational endurance, notably under heavy combat conditions. Assembling the diverse systems for one of these ships also poses logistical problems for IKS planners. With limited shipyard space combined with limited component production, launching of these ships was a slow process. By 2297, only two of these vessels were in service. Production continued until 8 hulls were completed.<\/p>\n

In 2339, even as the IKS continued to attempt to expand its holdings, designers reexamined the I-6<\/em> and decided to launch several more hulls to supplement their slowly growing fleet. IKS engineers were finally able to create their own KIK impulse drive and immediately installed the system in the I-6<\/em>, one of the few vessels that had sufficient space for the system. Along with improved weapons and improved shielding, the I-6<\/em> also saw additional hull plating installed to increase survivability. Only 4 hulls were completed before production was halted for a second time. However, all Variant-1s<\/em> were upgraded to the Variant-2<\/em> versions.<\/p>\n

Although the I-6<\/em> has seen extensive combat and many have been damaged multiple times, it is believed that all remain operational, and at least another eight hulls are thought to be under construction.<\/p>\n

The I-6<\/em> is built at the K\u2019linsann and Kinarra shipyards. The class, named for the Klingon nuH bey\u2019<\/em>, translates to \u2018weapon of the stars’<\/em>, but is colloquially known as the \u201cStargun\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
