The Koloth class photon artillery is a hover support vehicle used by Klingon forces. These vehicles would travel with Klingon Battalions where it fired adapted photon shells at a great distance. This made them an effective ranged assault as well as anti-tank vehicle. Due to its slow response, the Koloth is not suited for front line operations where it could easily be destroyed by enemy tanks. Its weak propulsion system made it a requirement in Klingon Empire tactics to field these craft behind Klingon battle lines where it would use its armaments to bring down the defenses of enemy installations.
