BRAD'S COMMENTS:  The D-14 is a pretty decent Destroyer by Klingon standards, and I have used it a lot in scenarios over the years.  It has a decent amount of power, torpedoes, and the B model even has a cloaking device for sneak attacks.  The original FASA D-14 aesthetics please me as well.  I have always liked the extended wings over the dropped-down nacelles.  It looks a little like a swooping bird.  Although, with wings, shouldn't this craft be atmospheric-capable?  A goof on the part of FASA perhaps?
        Also of consideration: why does FASA only give this class one warp engine, when there are clearly two warp nacelles?  Granted, the genesis of Treknology eventually did away with the notion that the warp nacelles themselves were the site of warp power generation (they are field generators, not power generators) but for FASA purposes, the number of warp nacelles and warp engines always remains the same.  So why the discrepancy?  Also, for a ship roughly the same size as the older K'tinga class cruiser, the D-14 seems a tad under-strength.
        Given these problems, I decided to bulk out the class with some extra sets of stats that (to me, anyway) do it more justice.

D-14 (Stinger) Class VI-VII Destroyer
Known Sphere Of Operation: Federation and Triangle Borders
Data Reliablity: C 
Major Data Source: Triangle Sector Intelligence 
          Two models of this destroyer have been produced.  Twelve D-14Bs are equipped with the KCB cloaking device. The class name, from the Klingon desta kar, refers to a predator on the planet Nogunda; this creature immobilizes its prey by injecting a paralyzing agent through its stinger.  Of the 208 D-14s built, 119 As and 61 Bs remain in active service; 20 As and 1 B have been destroyed; 2 As and 1 B have been listed as missing; and 1 B has been traded to the Romulans, 1 A has been sold to the Orions, and 2 Bs have been sold to private interests in the Triangle.  The D-14 is under production at Taamar, H'renn, and Fonawl.  The combined annual rate is 20 of each type.
