BRAD'S COMMENTS: One of the better Klingon scouts, the F model of the K-15 is right up there with the "Bird of Prey" in terms of survivability in battle. Superstructure is good for a ship this small, and the power output to weapons ratio is good. As with the Pathmaker class ships, the K-15 can sometimes operate as a poor man's destroyer against underpowered older Federation and Romulan vessels.
From the FASA Star Trek KLINGON SHIP RECOGNITION MANUAL, circa 1985
K-15 (Unseen Creeper) Class IV - V Scout
Known Sphere Of Operation: Empire-wide use, frequently operates in Spinward frontiers and the Triangle
Data Reliability: A for K-15A; C for K-15D, K-15E
Major Data Source: K-15A in Star Fleet possession; Klingon Sector Intelligence, Triangle Sector Intelligence
The K-15 is the most likely Klingon scout vessel to be encountered anywhere in known space.
Only the K-15D and K-15F models are in service at present, but newer models could appear at any time, as the design is well accepted by both officers and crew.
Of the 391 K-15s built, 196 Ds and 92 Fs remain in active service,
1 each are used as training vessels, 21 As, 19 Ds, and 14 Fs have been destroyed,
2As each have been captured by Star Fleet and the Romulans, 3 As, 14 Ds, and 9 Fs are listed as missing, 5
As and 2 Ds were traded to the Romulans, 2 Ds have been sold to private interests in the Triangle, 1 D has been sold to the Orions, and 3 Ds and 4 Fs have been sold to
prominent families with the Empire. The K-15 is being produced at the Taamar and Gnuu Re' facilities.
Combined annual production is 15 of each type.
The class name is a reference to the Klingon
l'rexa, which translates to 'slowly and unseen'.
