    This modest little ship has a few surprises in store. With both Alternate Universe and The Original Series icons, it can report in orbit of Sherman's Peakimage, or you can utilize its universal icon to download it with a Spacedoorimage in any quadrant. Although its raw attributes aren't impressive, it has a matching commander to potentially increase its stats to a respectable 8-8-8 with Captain's Logimage and Defiant Dedication Plaqueimage.

    But that's not all. Unlike the unique ship of the D-7 class, the I.K.C. Gr'othimage, this Battle Cruiser is dual-affiliation. Select Romulan or Klingon, giving the Klingons the option of a D-7 with a cloaking device, lacking on the Gr'oth. Staffing is simple enough - any one Alternate Universe personnel matching its current affiliation can do the job alone. That could be its Romulan matching commander, downloadable with Ready Room Doorimage, or one of the universal The Original Series Klingons or Romulans, which the ship can download, or any other Alternate Universe personnel, who can report aboard with Crew Reassignmentimage.

    Combos:

    • Battle Cruiser + Spacedoorimage + Commander Charvanekimage: Whether you report her by Ready Room Door or Crew Reassignment, you'll have a quick ship plus commander in play.
    • Battle Cruiser + D'vanoimage: Just encountered an Orion Syndicate Bombimage without Transporter Skill aboard? Or an Aphasia Deviceimage and you only have half the MEDICAL and Biology you need? Suspend play and download the universal D'vano to get you out of this fix.
