The Vo'devwl class was a 25th century Klingon starship type, a tier 6 Klingon Empire support carrier class in Klingon Defense Force service from the 2410s decade. (STO website: House Divided: Cross Faction Support Carrier Bundle, STO - House Divided mission: "The Hunt is On")
History and specifications[]
During the Klingon Civil War of 2411, the Khitomer Alliance launched a new, tier-6 rated variation of the 25th century science carrier. The support carrier was initially represented by four starship classes, one by each leading Alliance member. The prototype of each class - the CDS Aspero, JHV Support Carrier, RRW Ra'nodaire and IKS Vo'devwl - performed a maneuver together and deployed their hangar pets.
The Vo'devwl was an built on the existing tier 5 Vo'Quv-class science carrier platform. Unlike the Vo'Quv, which deployed individually-operating To'Duj-class fighters, the Vo'devwl launched To'Duj fighter squadrons which operated in sync. Due to the larger size, the fleet upgrade of the Vo'devwl class, available to fleets operating a tier-3 shipyard at the Fleet Starbase, could launch Ning'tao-class support frigates.

By default, this class was fitted with Mk-rated scaling shield array, deflector array, impulse engines, and matter anti-matter warp core. Fore weapons included a pair of disruptor disruptor beam arrays and one quantum torpedo launcher. This arrangement was mirrored on the three aft weapon slots.
Like all 25th century Klingon ships, this class was equipped with a cloaking device.
As a class of science vessel, this class came with built-in subsystem targeting abilities. Rated as Rank I, this vessel could target, one at a time, auxiliary subsystems, weapons, engines, and shields.
As a carrier, the Vo'devwl could direct its hangar pets to attack hostile targets, escort a friendly target, intercept munitions and hostile fighters, and recall for repair and refuelling. (STO - House Divided mission: "The Hunt is On")
Components[]
The support carrier's space frame was divided into five sections: hull, forward hull, neck, nacelle pylons, warp nacelles. These components were interchangeable between the Klingon support carrier classes. (STO - House Divided mission: "The Hunt is On")
Livery[]
In the 25th century, the hull design of the Vo'devwl-class support carrier allowed its commanding officer to choose from different livery materials. These could be modified by Klingon shipyard operations. The material options included numbered Types and others. The default material for this class was Vo'Devwl.
