The K'Vort class is, in the Star Trek fictional universe, a Klingon make of starship. The K'Vort class shares its appearance with the much smaller B'rel class; the two varieties are often together called 'birds-of-prey' (not to be confused with the Romulan Bird-of-Prey class). As it is often difficult to distinguish between the two, known ships of both classes are listed here.
