Description and Notes
Fleet data: A missing Starfleet Intelligence operative turned up in 2365, claiming to have been held captive by a 'renegade' Kzinti commander for the past year. During that time, he witnessed several new Kzinti ship designs with uncharacteristically high-tech weapon and computer systems. Among these vessels was a design akin to a destroyer. While no evidence of a cloaking device was noted, Starfleet Intelligence became acutely aware that new reconnaissance missions were called for to learn more of these vessels' capabilities, especially once these vessels were encountered during the recent Subjenix Flu epidemic and 'supposed' Kzin pirates interfered with relief efforts. The political fallout of this revelation cost several analysts in the intelligence community their careers and saw increased Starfleet patrols near the worlds of the Kzinti Patriarchy.

One such vessel, the U.S.S. Forrestal is currently trying to locate the base where these ships operate from as they have not been located within the Patriarchy.

Noteworthy vessels / service records / encounters: Slasher, Render, and Ripper were the three destroyers encountered by the U.S.S. Forrestal when it came to the aid of the relief convoy. Much of the above information above comes from the ship's battle record. The Render was destroyed and the Ripper self-destructed to avoid capture in that encounter.

Author's Notes
This vessel was designed for use and inspired by Molotov's adventure "A Hungry Season." It was further inspired by Patrick Murphy's Kzinti Assault Cruiser which I also used when I ran the adventure. The dates have been changed to correspond to the mini-campaign I am currently running while I continue to convert over the Challenger. Thank you Patrick and Molotov for the inspiration.
