Yet when the second generation of the raider was deployed in the KDF, the Klingon engineers might have taken their own sweet time on making improvements, but the result definitely held merit. This initial iteration of the fighter lacked the durability to withstand enemy fire in prolonged engagements, yet their disruptor cannons were on-par with the phasers of the first warp fighter of the Valkyrie Program, the AC-205 Mk I Valkyrie.Р”В®ven if other forces in the galaxy improved upon their fighter designs, the KDF continued to deploy the first generation of the NIyma raiders, and as of 2381, they still let the first generation of the raiders defend planetary facilities. The first generation of these Imperial Klingon Raiders were carrier-based craft that entered service as of 2374, and they were the answer to Starfleet's new Valkyrie program as well as the Romulan Scorpion-class fighters. This was the second generation of the IKR NIyma. They were deployed from both Vo'quv and VoD'leh class carriers. Their limited cloaking ability also held a crucial tactical role. Fitted with both pulse disruptors as well as two heavy disruptor cannons, along with a new hard-point system, they were a craft to be reckoned with in close engagements. Heavily armed, fast and manoeuvrable, they were still slower than the Valkyrie and Valravn-program fighters of the Federation, yet they made up for what they lacked in speed with their durability and weaponry.
