D'Kora class starship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Star Trek fictional universe, the D'Kora class starship, also known as the "Marauder", is the mainstay of Ferengi vessels. Though mainly used as a tradeship, the D'Kora is capable in battle, carrying photon torpedoes and disruptors. Tactically it is about half as powerful as a Galaxy class starship.
Constructed by one of the Ferangi ship conglomerates, the Marauder has proven to be one of the most cost-effective vessels available. They are generally owned by the most powerful businessmen and the Ferengi Commerce Authority. They can be customized to suit the owner's needs, including customized weapon and defensive systems; a crew can even be included during a purchase, for a price.
Though the vessels are mostly used for conventional trade (legal and illegal) around the alpha and gamma quadrants, some of the more powerful companies in the Ferengi Alliance use them to attack colonies or other ships, stealing technology or supplies which they can re-sell.
Famous D'Kora-class ships include the Krayton and the Kreetchta. It was a D'Kora class starship that Jean-Luc Picard defeated at the Battle of Maxia in 2355, while captain of the USS Stargazer (NCC-2893), using a new tactic known as the "Picard maneuver".
In the non-canon game Birth of the Federation, the Ferengi are seen using a number of new starships similar to the D'Kora class. Examples include the Tokorn Class heavy raider and the Glantor Class troop transport.
