When first introduced just prior to the Federations's testing of the Excelsior's new transwarp drive, the L-24 was the largest and most powerful ship in the Imperial Navy. The interior of the L-24 is compartmented to reduce the dangers of decompression during battle, making the structural integrity of the ship much greater. Now employed as a heavy escort due to it's speed and maneuverability, the unofficial name given by her crews, "Komo Val", (translating to "Ever in Victory") refers more to the Klingon Empire than the ship herself, but insofar as Federation intelligence is aware, no Komo Val battleship has ever been defeated in battle.
