Its smaller cargo capacity belies it\u2019s sustainable speed and long range capability. The <em>I-31<\/em> also has some of the heaviest weapons available to the Empire. When first scanned, it was believed that the <em>I-31<\/em> was possibly a Romulan \u201cQ\u201d ship, but no other variant has been detected. It is known that the Romulan requested that the KIE impulse drive be included. <\/p>\n<p>Because of it\u2019s heavy firepower, the <em>I-31<\/em> is often used as a support freighter during major combat operations. When not part of fleet deployment, the <em>I-31<\/em> is only observed in the company of other <em>I-31s<\/em> and heavy escort ships. This may indicate that the <em>I-3<\/em>1 is used primarily to transport high-value cargoes.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligence reports that only 35 of these ships were traded and refit. It is unknown if the Romulans requested more Klingon <em>G-11s<\/em>, but the unpopularity of that vessel may indicate that the Klingons traded more hulls before the technological exchange fell apart.<\/p>\n<p>This <em>I-31<\/em> is named for a large bird that has a massive long flight tail that resembles a comets tail in flight.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\"
