The Mat'Ha-class destroyer is one of the newer designs in the Klingon Empire and the first Raptor in the Klingon Defense Force in almost 300 years. The Mat'Ha-class derives much of its overall aesthetic, lineage from the much older Raptor-class design of the 22nd century.
Exploration and Science
Like most non-capital class Klingon ship designs, the Mat'Ha has very limited scientific and exploration duties. Although it has a state-of-the-art sensor suite, the primary purpose is for finding and tracking targets in combat. Like most Klingon vessels, if a Mat'Ha discovers anything of scientific importance, the ship will signal the nearest Klingon starbase or outpost to dispatch a ship better equipped for scientific endeavors.
Diplomacy
As a destroyer, the Mat'Ha has extremely limited diplomatic capabilities and would only serve as an emissary of the Klingon Empire if it were the only ship available. The ship has extremely limited guest quarters, only a single conference room that could serve for diplomatic purposes of any kind, and virtually no diplomatic amenities. In nearly any instance, a much more capable vessel would be dispatched by the Klingon High Council.
Engineering
The Mat'Ha largely follows the lineage from the original Raptor-class of the 22nd century, scaled up. The Mat'Ha is roughly twice the size of the Raptor while maintaining the sleek, low-profile design of the original. The Mat'Ha incorporates many new technologies built into the design, unlike other aging designs like the B'rel-class Bird-of-Prey which has merely received numerous refits to her internal systems over the decades. The most notable integrated design that allows the Mat'Ha to excel is her new generation engines which make her both maneuverable at sublight speeds in combat but also her warp engines which make her one of the fastest vessels in the Klingon arsenal. These engines allow the Mat'Ha to excel over most other Klingon vessels is the speed, allowing for rapid deployment to any battlefield.
Tactical
The Mat'Ha was one of the few new designs from the Klingon Empire that came as a direct result of the Dominion War. Where the B'rel was lost in the hundreds during the War, the Mat'Ha is designed to be battle-hardened against an enemy like the Dominion. The ship is more reinforced with armor plating, has more durable shields, and a more complementary weapons systems. Much like the B'rel, the Mat'Ha has its main weapons pointed forward. However, unlike the B'rel, the Mat'Ha comes standard with four disruptor emitters covering the remaining arcs of the ship if an enemy vessel would be able to outmaneuver it.
Where the Mat'Ha earns its keep as a destroyer is its torpedo payload. The Mat'Ha is equipped with seven forward facing torpedo launchers and four reach torpedo launchers. Additionally, the standard payload for a Mat'Ha is 250 high-yield photon torpedoes. This allows the Mat'Ha to deploy torpedoes across a battlefield like few other vessels in the Klingon arsenal are capable.
Shipboard Life
The thing that separates the Mat'Ha from slightly larger vessels like the Vor'cha or even K't'inga-classes is that it is purely meant as a space combatant. With that in mind, the ship is armed to the teeth but has very little to no troops on board for rapid deployment.
