The Dranuur class was a 25th century Lukari starship type, a tier 6-rated scout ship class in Lukari Concordium, Kentari Union and Khitomer Alliance service in the 2410s decade. The Dranuur originated as a smaller variant of the Ho'kuun-class science vessel and was developed at the Dranuur Colony. (STO website: Emergence: Get a Lukari Ship from Your Colony!)
History and technical specifications[]
The Dranuur was a wide spacecraft shaped like an elegant boomerang and consisting of a single primary hull. The engines were located at the tips of the wings. Its design was the result of the state-of-the-art Ho'kuun-class development and was improved upon by the Kentari at the joint Concordium-Union colony in the Dranuur star system. The Dranuur class was available to the rest of the Khitomer Alliance and entered service during the Tzenkethi Crusade in the year 2410. (STO website: Emergence: Get a Lukari Ship from Your Colony!)
As a tier 6 scout ship, the Dranuur was the next iteration of the tier 5 N'Kaam-class scout ship. (STO - Emergence mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
The Dranuur class was equipped with multiple advanced systems and weapons, all rated mark X. Weaponry was based on the Lukari's piezo-polaron beams and torpedoes. Dedicated fore weapons consisted of a piezo-polaron beam array, piezo-polaron dual beam bank and piezo-polaron torpedo launcher. Aft weapons included a pair of piezo-polaron beam arrays and a single piezo-polaron torpedo launcher. Additional equipment included a shield array, deflector array, impulse engines, matter anti-matter warp core and a deteriorating secondary deflector.

Cloaking was not an innate ability but could be achieved with the installation of a cloaking device. Besides the commanding officer, bridge officer stations accommodated a science officer ranked as commander, a lieutenant commander doubling as temporal operative and officer of any department, and three officers of any department holding the ranks of lieutenant commander, lieutenant and ensign, respectively. The Dranuur class was also the first ship design equipped with the reverberant quantum lock special weapon. (STO website: Emergence: Get a Lukari Ship from Your Colony!)
As an Alliance scout ship, the Dranuur class combined the secondary deflector, sensor analysis and subsystem targeting traits of science vessels with the raider flanking maneuverability of raiders. By default, ships of the class carried the LSS name prefix typical of Lukari Concordium starships. (STO - Emergence mission: "Welcome to Earth Spacedock")
In 2410, the LSS Treluun and LSS Vuut were among four ships in the Lukari expeditionary force investigating a spatial rift to the Mycelial Network in the Kern system. While the Treluun and Vuut became stuck in the rift, House Mo'Kai marauders attacked the Lukari. Captain Kuumaarke of the LSS Reskava dispatched a distress call, which was promptly answered by a comrade-in-arms of her of the Khitomer Alliance. The Alliance forces jointly destroyed the Mo'Kai marauders and recovered the pair of trapped scout ships and closed the rift before fending off the final waves of House Mo'Kai forces.
