Ages of the Federation is a new total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. This mod takes place in the Enterprise and Original series eras, focusing on the conflict between the early Federation and Klingon Empire. A resurgent Romulan Star Empire, angry and still licking its wounds after their defeat to Earth and her allies waits in the shadows, ready to take advantage of any of misstep by either the warring powers. The Xindi, new to the galactic stage are also eager to forge their own path.

The Klingons were hardly impressed with the fledgling Federation. The High Council chose to view the Federation as a mere political alliance, barely worthy of notice, and from a certain point of view that opinion was justified - the Federation was tiny and unrpoven, while the Klingon Empire was vast, the dominant military power in the Quadrant, and comparatively ancient. The Empire had never paid much attention to the affairs of Vulcans, Andorians or Tellarites, and had little interest, at least for the time being, in expanding their territory into the region.
Humans, on the other hand, were relative newcomers to the interstellar stage. The little interaction Klingons and humans had shared was enough to convince the Klingons that humans were meddesome, conniving, and not to be trusted.
This complicated relations with the Klingons to no small degree. Starfleet, the official space service of the Federation, was still an overwhelmingly human organisation. Encounters between Starfleet and Klingon vessels were always dangerously tense, and led to hostilities on more than one occasion.
Fortunately, the Klingon Empire was ruled by leaders with the vision to see the bigger picture. For all their bluster, the High Council saw no more benefit in conquering the Federation than they had in conquering the region years earlier. This 'Federation' was no rival to the Empire, and if it ever became one, could be easily squashed.
Even so, relations between the Klingons and Starfleet (representing, as it did in the Klingons' eyes, humanity) did not improve. In 2174 the Federation Science Council undertook a study in an attempt to uncover the root of this hostility. Every recorded encounter between humans and Klingons was studied in detail. All signs indicated that the source of this enmity sprang from the Klingons' very first encounter with humanity - the Broken Bow Incident, and the first mission of the starship Enterprise NX-01.
What ship is that?
I'd like to know as well. Looks like a cross between the good ol' Bird of Prey and the Raptor.
Think it's the ship we briefly saw in enterprise season 4, with the Klingon augments, looks simliar.
I agree I think it's the Augment BOP
Nope, different ship.

Link is being troublesome, but it's there.
Centurian it is the augment BoP ;)
Finally found the bloody ship. For the record calling it the augment BoP was what was throwing me off. That implied it was human augment Mailk's ship instead of klingon augment Laneth's ship.

It's called the L-3 in-game. There are two variants - a frigate and a corvette.
DAT AFT!
