The Mek'hlar Class Destroyer was first designed in the early 2320s as a replacement for the aging K'Tinga Class. Smaller and more maneuverable than its predecessor, but every bit as powerful, the Mek'hlar was supposed to become the Klingon Empire's premiere attack vessel. However, the advent of the Federation's Ambassador Class starship prompted the Klingons to delay the Mek'hlar in favor of designing an all new, much larger class of attack warship, the Vor'cha.



The Mek'hlar remained in a state of flux for many years before the first ships were launched in 2360. However, after the initial unit run was built, the Klingons again scaled back their efforts in order to concentrate on designing larger warships like the Negh'var. But with the expierience of the Dominion War and the loss of many Birds of Prey against the agile Dominion Fighters, the Empire replace the losses with alot of Mek'hlar class Destroyer.
