Klingon Bird-of-Prey

A B'rel-class Bird-of-Prey.

For the similar Romulan starship nomenclature, see Warbird.

A Bird-of-Prey is a starship classification for smaller warships, usually resembling a predatory bird. The Klingon Empire and Romulan Star Empire were known for implementing bird-of-prey type starships.

The Bird-of-Prey served the combat role of a skirmisher, operating solo or in small groups as a scout, or making hit-and-run attacks on enemy positions. In larger fleet engagements it screened the vulnerable flanks of larger vessels such as battle cruisers. In this respect they were similar to Starfleet escorts.
