The Bird-of-Prey is the classic Klingon starshipa tough raiding and scouting vessel that has served at the heart of the Klingon Defense Force for more than a hundred years.

Featuring a stunning cutaway drawing and, for the first time ever, detailed deck plans and incredible new computer-generated artwork, the Haynes Bird-of-Prey Manual is a technical tour of the ships systems, from the bridge and engineering rooms to the disruptors, torpedo launcher, and the all-important cloaking device. In addition, the Manual provides a unique insight into life on board a Klingon ship and the Rotarrans glorious history in the Dominion War.
This Haynes Manual is fully authorized by CBS.
