The Dhelan is one of a new generation of Norexan design which accounted for the weaknesses of the original that were so embarrassingly revealed during the short-lived Shinzon coup. Elements of the defunct Scimitar design were successfully incoporated into the Norexan resulting in a ship comparable with Starfleet's finest.
The refitted Norexan Class Warbird quickly became a favorite amongst the High Command within the Empire because of its ability to carry out the hit-and run attacks of old, a feature the D’deridex class never truly had the finesse to achieve with any great success. For its size, the Norexan Class remains one of the most maneuverable vessels in known space.
The designers of the original Norexan Class learned from, and in many ways built upon the knowledge gained from the D’deridex Class. Armed with fifty two primary focus disruptor arrays and twenty seven photon/quantum/plasma torpedo tubes, the Norexan Class can bring a withering hail of firepower down upon any enemy. A favored tactic of its commanders is to engage an enemy vessel head-on where the class is able to take advantage of its cloaking device, weapons systems and respectable shield grid.
The Norexan Class uses an artificially created quantum singularity for its warp drive that is able to propel the ship along at a normal cruising speed of warp 7.
The ship employs an advanced version cloaking device, as opposed to that used on the D’deridex Class, but rather a Scimitar grade cloaking device, thus making the ship less invulnerable to being detected by the Tachyon emissions its warp engines emit.
