Object
Klingon Bird-of-Prey (Enterprise-C attacker)
A compact, predatory Klingon attack vessel with swept wings and a dark, battle-scarred hull that conceals a cloaking drive. It erupts suddenly from stealth — metal silhouette snapping into view as disruptor batteries and torpedoes spool and fire. The decloak delivers a concussive explosion that shatters a private farewell on the Enterprise‑C bridge, throws bridge crew into combat stations, and physically and emotionally ruptures the scene.

Purpose
Act as a small, heavily armed Klingon warship used to decloak, engage, and deliver offensive fire against enemy vessels — here, to strike and provoke immediate combat with the Enterprise‑C.
Significance
Functions as the catalytic instrument that turns Picard's grim calculus into immediate sacrifice: its sudden attack interrupts intimate goodbyes, forces Captain Garrett's irreversible order, and converts ethical dilemma into tragic action. The vessel embodies the imminent, violent consequence of the Enterprise‑C's presence and seals the crew's doomed return to battle.
