Starship Sunday II

Starship Sunday is a showcase feature of cannon spacecraft seen in Star Trek television episodes and movies.


This week; IKS Amar, Klingon K't'inga Class. Seen on Star Trek The Motion Picture, released 7 December 1979.
The Klingon captain of the battlecruiser IKS Amar whose three-ship patrol is destroyed by V'ger along the onetime Federation Neutral Zone of the pre-alliance era in 2372. Prudent and capable, he is just as shocked as any of his Federation colleagues later at the size and destructiveness of the vast entity. - See more at: http://www.startrek.com/database_article/captain-klingon-amar#sthash.LK8gQMoK.dpuf

In 2371, the Amar was the lead vessel of a three-ship patrol that intercepted V'Ger, passing through Klingon space on it's way to Earth. Amar fired three photon torpedoes at the V'Ger cloud, then ordered evasive maneuvers when it was quickly discovered their weapons had no effect on the intruder.

One by one, the fleeing ships were disintegrated by high energy plasma bolts fired from V'Ger, converting them into pure information and stored aboard the cloud. Before being destroyed, the last ship, Amar, sent out a transmission to the Klingon High Command, informing them of the situation. A nearby Federation monitoring station, Epsilon IX, intercepted the broadcast, re-transmitted it to Starfleet Command and observed the final attack on Amar, being digitized by V'Ger.
