Jem'Hadar battle cruiser

The Jem'Hadar battle cruiser was a large battleship used by the Dominion for fleet engagements during the 2370s.

History

A group of these warships formed part of the first wave of Dominion ships to pass through the Bajoran wormhole, following their annexation of the Cardassian Union in 2373. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow", "By Inferno's Light")

Gul Dukat would command one of these vessels during his year-long reign as leader of Cardassia. (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water", "Call to Arms") Its first notable appearance in battle against the Federation was at the outbreak of the Dominion War in late 2373, where it served as a capital ship of the combined Dominion and Cardassian fleet. (DS9: "Call to Arms")

Technical data

Tactical systems

The Jem'Hadar battle cruiser was equipped with both directed energy weapons and torpedos in its arsenal.

The forward torpedo launcher was the primary utilized in a majority of engagements with the Federation during the Dominion War. (DS9: "Call to Arms", "Sacrifice of Angels", "What You Leave Behind") This torpedo launcher was capable of firing multiple bursts in a single volley. (DS9: "Sacrifice of Angels") They were also equipped with a forward beam emitter. (DS9: "Call to Arms")

During the initial invasion of the Alpha Quadrant, these vessels were individually supported by a cluster of Jem'Hadar fighters. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")

A single vessel of this class was perceived by the crew of Deep Space 9 as a potential threat after targeting the station in mid-2373. (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water")
