The D-3 HoH’SuS<\/em> class of light cruiser was the third generation of medium range combat cruiser to be assigned the designation of D-3<\/em>. The previous D-3<\/em>, which was officially struck from the fleet in 2215, bears little resemblance the the most recent D-3<\/em> – with good reason. The HoH’SuS<\/em> was launched in late 2241 with the intention of becoming the Empires premier combat platform. Unlike a number of other vessels of the period, the D-3<\/em> became a somewhat popular design and was put into mass production thanks to the influence of Drell and Korath, two of the major shipbuilding houses of the empire.<\/p>\n

The D-3 HoH’SuS<\/em> followed in it’s predecessor’s footsteps as a lightly crewed attack platform. Armed with four main disruptors, the D-3<\/em> also retained the first generation of the KP-1 torpedo. While not the most powerful of the Klingon Torpedoes, the KP-1 was a significant improvement in targeting and flight control over older models, many of which were severely limited in range. The KP-1 gave the D-3<\/em> a powerful short range first strike capability that proved vital in the empires struggles with the Kinshaya. The D-3<\/em> saw extensive action in the waning years of the open warfare along that boarder, where its’ firepower helped turn the tide in the conflict. <\/p>\n

The D-3A<\/em> was produced in large numbers, but was soon overshadowed by a number of other designs, including the D-4<\/em> and D-6<\/em> cruisers. In 2247, the decision was made to produce an upgraded version of the D-3<\/em>, with the D-3b launched the following year. The D-3b saw the improvement of the main disruptors as well as the replacement of the primary torpedo with the improved KP-2. With it’s enlarged impulse drive, the D-3B<\/em> was considered a well rounded design. Despite the improvements, the significant increase in costs to construct the D-3B<\/em> soon brought the design in contention with a wide range of other designs of the period. The design suffered a further blow when it was determined that updating the D-3A<\/em> would prove too difficult to be completed in a timely manner. Production of the D-3B<\/em> was begun in earnest as many realized that the next major conflict for the empire – what would be known as the Four-Years War – was just on the horizon. Both the D-3A<\/em> and D-3B<\/em> were utilized during the early part of the war, even as conversions of the A<\/em> model was underway.<\/p>\n

During the early part of the conflict, the D-3B<\/em>, along with a vast number of it’s counterparts, proved vital in the early conquests of the Empire. The D-3B<\/em> was still under-gunned when compared to it’s Federation contemporaries, but was effective in small squadrons and as a support vessel in use with D-6<\/em> and D-7s<\/em> of the period.<\/p>\n

As the war dragged on and the Federation began to take back territory lost to the Empire, many became increasingly frustrated with the abilities of the D-3<\/em> and a wide range of other front line vessels. In late 2254, House Korath proposed an update to the D-3<\/em>. Desperate for new and more effective combat vessels, the High Council approved the D-3C<\/em> and rushed the small ship into production. Unlink the D-3A<\/em>, the D-3B<\/em> was able to be updated easily to the “C” model. Despite having higher firepower than the larger D-7A<\/em>, the D-3C<\/em>, like it’s previous models, suffered from the heavy automation and light crew. Vessels damaged in battle did not have the massive crew or repair capability of the larger D-7<\/em>. Most D-3s<\/em> damaged in battle were forced to retire from combat – often permanently. By the end of 2256, the D-3<\/em> was considered less effective than the new D-7C<\/em>. By 2262, the D-3<\/em> was scheduled for removal from production with the last main hull launched in 2263. The D-3C<\/em> remained in service until 2280, serving against the Romulans and again against the Federation during the Orgainian conflict.<\/p>\n

Of the 524 D-3s<\/em> built, 201 As, 78 Bs and 10 Cs were destroyed. 7 As, 6 Bs and 2 Cs are listed as missing with indications that most defected to the IKS. 19 As 9 Bs and 2 Cs were scrapped, all after combat. 12 have been captured (5 As 1 B and 3 Cs by Star Fleet, 1 A and 1 B by Romulans and 1 C by interests in the Triangle). 85 have been sold to a wide range of interests, including the Nausiccans, Bolians, Orions, Ferengi and several governments in the Triangle. 50 As were disarmed and traded to the Romulans. 10 D-3Cs are in reserve fleets. 12 As, 10 Bs and 11 Cs are in service to Ranking Families in the Empire.
