The Vor'cha-class attack cruiser was a major warship fielded by the Klingon Defense Force during the latter half of the 24th century. Vor'cha-class vessels were used heavily during the Klingon-Cardassian War, the Second Federation-Klingon War and the Dominion War. (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

History[]
Because of the Klingon Empire's need for prisons, Klingons built a Vor'cha variant that was made to operate like a prison ship with a capacity of 7,000 prisoners. The lead ship of the prison ship variant was the IKV B'Err. (RIS Bouteina: "Fury of the Prison Ships")
The morgues on Vor'Chas were equipped with an autopsy station. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Ancient Horrors")
