The development of the D-76 K’t’batlhmey<\/em>, or \u201cBringer of Glory\u201d<\/em> class battlecruiser was taken by Star Fleet Intelligence as positive evidence of Klingon preparation for renewed open conflict with the Federation. Despite some similarities with the D-7<\/em> series battlecruiser, the D-76<\/em> represented a significant advance over the older cruiser.<\/p>\n

Despite being nearly a third-again the mass of the D-7<\/em>, the D-76<\/em> was capable of operating with a similar-sized crew, demonstrating improved Klingon ship-handling abilities. Studies of long range scans suggested larger, more efficiently-arranged command and control spaces were primarily responsible.<\/p>\n

The D-76’s<\/em> KWG and KIG powerplant generated nearly twice the power of the infamous D-7<\/em>. The vessel was equipped with six potent KD-17 disruptors as well as the powerful and efficient KSQ shield generator. The KCE cloaking device, which had entered Klingon service only a year previously, provided stealth capability previously unavailable to Klingon ships of its size. The D-76<\/em> was not without its disadvantages, however. Analysis suggested that it was not as nimble as other Klingon designs. Additionally, the class only carried a light battalion of 110 troops. Star Fleet Intelligence theorized that the primary role of the D-76<\/em> was to escort and supplement the massive L-24<\/em> battleships, which carried a heavy battalion of marine troops, or squadrons of T-5<\/em> and T-12<\/em> class assault ships.<\/p>\n

Originally launched in early 2290, the D-76<\/em> program was immediately cancelled after the destruction of Praxis. The fifteen D-76s<\/em> in service would begin a refit in 2316 to the B model, improving their disruptors and shields. All 15 were converted to the B models by 2325. Attempts to upgrade several systems in 2336 proved ineffective, and a C model was never fielded.<\/p>\n

Despite the vessels age, a new model was launched in 2366. The D model proved surprisingly efficient, but was expensive to field. By the time of the Dominion war, only 6 had been upgraded, however, with the remaining vessels scheduled to be sold. The advent of the war changed those plans and the remaining vessels were upgraded to the D model. Two were destroyed during the war and 1 was scrapped due to battle damage. The remining 12 vessels are on active patrol, although most are expected to be retired and sold soon.<\/p>\n

The D-76<\/em> was produced at the Gnuu Re’ shipyards.
