To'Duj Fighter

The To'Duj type is a Klingon carrier based starfighter employed by the the Impeiral Fleet and noble Houses to establish space superiority and defend a Klingon War Group. Armed with disruptors and carrying a brace of torpedoes; tactics dictate it operate in teams, harrying opponents to bring down shields and moving in for the kill. It is highly maneuvrable with significant Impulse acceleration ratings.

Characteristics
The trowel shaped Klingon interceptor is a 'next' generation addition to the Klingon fleet incorporating the latest technological developments and significant performance advantages over other in-service attack fighters. Yet it's employment as a strike fighter against larger vessels has led to significant losses in the field and some skepticism among Klingon Warlords.

For the Pilot the To'Duj has limited rear visibility and relies on lateral sensors to provide the Klingon behind the control with a full picture of what is below, behind and above his or her cockpit window. Pilots are exhaustively trained as the fighter has heavy controls and little give, requiring forceful handling to effect intricate manoeuvres and is particularly unforgiving, prone to roll on its own after thruster aided launch and yawing to starboard if accelerated too quickly. This is due to trouble with the installed control systems which are not up to the standards of other systems. Nevertheless; armed with a powerful disruptor with good coverage and surprisingly sophisticated targetting system the To'Duj can kill quickly and mercilessly.

Tactics stress cooperation between flight teams who employ swarms of the ship against enemies. Klingon doctrine has redefined fighter use in the wake of the Dominion War; making maximum use of the acceleration and turning circle benefits fighters have over the craft they are generally sent to attack, while a focus on constant piloting drills makes sure those incharge of the ship are fully able to exploit the performance of their fighter.
