C-9 class (SFC)
The Klingon C-9 class was introduced in 2273 and designed for extended operations. The C-9 and nearly-identical C-8 classes were designed and put through the prototype stage at the same time, and most of the C-9s were later converted to C-8s, and some were sold to the Romulan Star Empire. Much larger than the D-7 class battlecruiser, the C-9 was intended for use along the Federation border. The C-8s and C-9s were very maneuverable and durable ships. The C-9 class had a crew complement of 620, and featured a capacity of thirteen shuttlecraft, six science labs, eight transporters, and three tractor beam emitters; it was armed with four Type-F missile launchers, four Type-4 disruptor banks, four banks of Type-1 phasers, and eight banks of Type-2 phasers. The C-9 remained in service until 2285, when it was superseded by the C-9B refit, introduced in 2279. The C-9B refit replaced its Type-F missiles with Type-As, and added a bank of Type-3 phasers; it remained in service until 2294, when it was superseded by the C-9K refit, introduced in 2292. The C-9K replaced its Type-A missiles with Type-Bs, and mounted eight banks of Type-1 phasers, four banks of Type-2 phasers, and one bank of Type-3 phasers.[1]
