BRAD'S COMMENTS:  What good is an unarmed tugboat in the STSTCS?!  HeckifIknow!  Window dressing, scenario accessory, et cetera.  I have never bothered to play this class.  It looks like it wouldn't last any longer in a melee than an ice cube on a black iron stove.  Also, what self-respecting Klingon warrior would willingly serve aboard an unarmed vessel of any sort?  Perhaps transport duty is a kind of punishment in the Empire?
