Changes: Duras sisters' Bird-of-Prey

Revision as of 05:16, 13 September 2006

Engaging the USS Enterprise-D

The Duras sisters' Bird-of-Prey was a D-12 class Klingon Bird-of-Prey operated by the House of Duras.

In 2369, Lursa and B'Etor used the starship to provide Tahna Los with bilitrium. (DS9: "Past Prologue")

Despite the considerable advantage it had in knowing the Enterprise's shield frequency it was destroyed by the USS Enterprise-D in 2371 when the crew of the Enterprise utilized a design flaw in the D-12 class' plasma coils to force it to cloak and lower its shields in the process. Unfortunately this would prove to be a pyrrhic victory as the Bird-of-Prey was able to inflict critical damage to the Enterprise-D before being destroyed.

It is unknown if the ship seen in the episodes and the movie was the same Bird-of-Prey. However, without direct evidence, this article assumes that it was the same starship. The Bird-of-Prey seen in Star Trek: Generations was 20 years old and the ship's plasma coils are part of the ship's cloaking device
