The Klingon Light Cruiser, called the Relentless class, is a new hull recently introduced at the annual Klingon war games ceremony in 2292.
Her acceleration speed is excellent, the best of any Klingon cruiser. The hull’s principal design dates back to the 2250’s, when the D6 cruisers were retired in favour of the present day D7 mainstay vessels.
Of course, this new class is all new from the keel up, and only faintly resembles the D6 cruisers of long ago. In simulated wargames, these vessels were more than a match for the highly vaunted Miranda class light cruisers from the Federation, primarily because of their substantially stronger hulls and larger size.
SPECS:

Tactical Discussion: The light cruiser is an excellent package of versatile capabilities.
The vessel is capable of long-range operations from base without support and has enough power to slug it out with larger ships.
Although the warship's power to weight ratio is not the equivalent of the highly regarded Insurrection, they are often teamed together for quick, precision strikes at an enemy target.
