Introduction:

The Klingon advanced construction ship is loaded with an adept team of scientists, engineers, and construction workers. In times of war, these highly gifted workers are used to create a sophisticated infrastructure for the Empire. The construction ship deploys a team of single-manned construction bots who swiftly and skillfully assemble a stations superstructure while the construction ship transports the necessary raw materials to the workers who promptly finish off the station�s interior. The ship is armed with two forward-firing disruptor cannons for defense and is also equipped with a tractor beam to tow derelicts and ships with disabled engines.
