IKS Cha'Joh

The IKS Cha'Joh was a Klingon Bird-of-Prey operated by the House of Duras. It was destroyed in 2371 just after inflicting critical damage to the USS Enterprise-D in the Battle of Veridian III.

Service record
The Cha'Joh was commissioned in 2351.

In 2359, Duras sisters Lursa and B'Etor used the Cha'Joh to provide Tahna Los with bilitrium.

In 2370, Lursa and B'Etor used the Bird-of-Prey during their plot to steal magnesite in the Kala system.

In 2371, While in orbit of Veridian III, Lursa and B'Etor staged a bold attack on the Enterprise-D. The Duras sisters had a considerable tactical advantage in knowing the Enterprise 's shield frequency, meaning the Bird-of-Prey render the Enterprise 's shields completely ineffective, allowing the Cha'Joh to score direct hits. The Bird-of-Prey was destroyed when the crew of the Enterprise exploited a design flaw in the D12's plasma coils to force it to cloak and lower its shields in the process. Unfortunately, the Cha'Joh was able to inflict critical damage to the Enterprise-D before it was destroyed, resulting in a warp core breach and the destruction of the Enterprise.
