During its historic mission in the early 2150s, the Earth starship Enterprise NX-01 encountered many prominent alien species, some of which were friendly to humanity and some of which were not. The latter group included the Klingons, the rulers of a powerful empire in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, who the Enterprise often got into trouble with.

When it did, it often came face to face with the warships of the Klingon Empire - often Birds-of-Prey, but also including other attack vessels, including the mighty D-5 Battlecruiser. This fearsome ship was one of the main capital ships of the Klingon Empire in the mid-22nd century, and in this video, we’ll be telling its story.
