Support Vessels, the name for Klingon Science Vessels, are a type of Klingon playable starship. They are medium-sized vessels, originally of Gorn design, and are designed to support allies and debilitate enemies.
Compared to other Klingon starship types, support vessels have moderate hulls and strong shields, but fewer weapon slots. Standard support vessels have 3 device slots and gain a bonus to auxiliary power. They are also each capable of Subsystem Targeting and Sensor Analysis to improve their combat potential.

Variants
Phalanx Science Vessel
The capabilities of Gorn science vessels continue to impress the Klingon Defense Force. The Gorn Phalanx Science Vessel boasts advanced sensor technology on part with the best Starfleet has to offer. It also comes equipped with a Barrier Field Generator console that can generate an energy barrier between the player's ship and a target which can be used defensively as cover.
Draguas Support Vessel
Gorn starship designers are pushing forward KDF technology with new vessels designed to support a team or fleet in combat. This Gorn-designed vessels features an Aceton Assimilator console which drains nearby enemies' power systems and damages them with a radiation attack.
Varanus Support Vessel
The Varanus class is of Gorn Hegemony design, which was absorbed into the Klingon Defense Force. The Varanus has the most advanced technology in the fleet. It comes equipped with a Repair Platform console mod, which can launch a repair platform that will deploy drones to repair any allied ship.
Korath Temporal Science Vessel
The Korath Temporal Science Vessel is a 29th Century Timeship recovered from the Tholian Assembly who found it after it drifted through the spacial rift in the Azure Nebula. Most of the advanced technology from these ships have been stripped, and have been replaced with contemporary equipment. Nevertheless, the Korath is probably the most advanced Science Vessel the KDF has available.
Nov Class Dyson Science Destroyer
The Dyson Joint Command’s engineering and scientific efforts within the Solanae Dyson Sphere have yielded incredible results. The Romulan Republic, Klingon Defense Force, and Federation have all been able to adapt the astonishing technologies found within this artificial celestial structure to their own ends. The end results are truly unique starships that are inspired by designs found within the Solanae Dyson Sphere, but adapted to suit the needs of each faction without the required use of Omega Particles. Each of these starships is first and foremost a Science vessel, but is capable of entering Tactical Mode to significantly alter how the starship performs. The use of the word "Nov" - the Klingon word for "Alien" - as a class designation for the KDF's Dyson Science Destroyer is telling, as the Nov's smooth, rounded surfaces and white-and-purple coloration (brought by the incorporation of Solanae Dyson Sphere materials and technology into the design) feel almost at odds with the more pragmatic, rustic design sensibilities favored by the Klingon, Nausicaan, Orion, and Gorn shipbuilders that make up the KDF fleet.
Chontay Class Advanced Dyson Science Destroyer

It features an additional Tactical console mod slot, improved hull and shield rating and comes equipped with the Proton Destabilizer Module Universal Console.

This will cause your starship to negate large amounts of damage every few seconds for a short time.
Ta'Sub Class Advanced Dyson Science Destroyer
