History and specifications

The KDF's first Dyson science destroyer was the IKS Dyson, launched in the year 2409 from the Solanae Dyson Sphere. Its first combat operation against Voth and Undine, which extended into the Jenolan Dyson Sphere, was a success. (STO - Solanae Dyson Sphere mission: "A Step Between Stars")

As a result of the Undine attack and an increased threat of an invasion through the two Dyson spheres, engineers of the Dyson Joint Command member states conceived of additional Solanae hybrid technologies, and delivered nine more, specialised Dyson science destroyer classes based on the successful prototypes. The Dyson was followed by the IKS Nov when the Nov class entered production. (STO website: The Sphere: Dyson Science Destroyers)

The Warship Advancement Council then launched the IKS Chontay, IKS MoQ and IKS Ta'Sub, each prototypes for their own, dedicated classes derived from the Nov. (STO website: The Sphere: Klingon Advanced Dyson Science Destroyers)

From the 2410 onward, the Nov represented its class in the WAC shipyard operations interface. (STO - Klingon Sector mission: "The Hunt is On")

Khitomer Alliance flag officer in, or aligned with, the KDF, deployed Nov for missions around the galaxy's four quadrants. (STO - Klingon Sector mission: "The Hunt is On", admiralty system)
