With most of the Klingon fleet either invading the Cardassian Union or engaging Starfleet, there would be an opening for a single starship to slip into Klingon space and find Shelka.Īlternately, the Klingon Empire could be reluctant to give up the prisoner even to an ally. There is also the period of tension and outright war in 2372-2373. TOS is the obvious choice, but Shelka isn't likely a K't'inga in that era - I'd use a D7 upgraded with a cloaking device instead. This may work best in eras when the interests of the Federation and Klingon Empire aren't aligned. Starfleet Intelligence knows of the existence of Shelka, but hunting down a battlecruiser in a remote sector of the Klingon Empire is an adventure in itself. Unfortunately, the Klingon Empire isn't keen on giving up the latest prisoner of Shelka. One such individual happens to be the only person in the galaxy who has the answers the player characters are looking for. Individuals are sent there only if they are worth the trouble. Shelka is an expensive prison to run and space is limited. Shelka's captain and crew are under orders to take all necessary measures to keep their charges secure.

As a last resort, Shelka retains its full armament and a reinforced compliment of security personnel. The ship's flight plans are highly classified and the captain has the authority to change course on a whim if there is any suspicion that Shelka is being pursued. Shelka runs under cloak at random times to throw off attempts to track it. Holographic emitters can change the name and registry painted on the hull in the unlikely chance that the captain lets another ship get close enough for a look. In 2371, IKS Shelka is a K't'inga-class battlecruiser with transponder codes declaring it to be any of a dozen other Klingon warships of the same class. Any observers it would assume it to be another obsolete warship serving out its last days patrolling a backwater sector.
Shelka is typically deployed to remote parts of the Empire with a carefully vetted crew and their charges. The ship is referred to as IKS Shelka in classified records, but it runs under a number of false names and registries conceal its identity and purpose. A variety of battlecruisers have served in this role over the decades. One solution is to take a decommissioned battlecruiser out of mothballs and convert it into a mobile maximum security prison. There are times when the Klingon Empire has a prisoner that is too high risk for Rura Penthe and too valuable to execute. As before, I present the basic idea and comment on how it can be adapted to different circumstances and eras of Star Trek. Sharing another idea from my dusty pile of notes.
