Maybe it's the first Federation starship co-designed by Klingon ship designers? :-D
I think the Vorcha was a full Klingon design. At best it was inspired by some Fed designs, but I'm pretty sure it was a total Klingon design.
Well, when will someone make this ship? lol. Seriously this ship rocks!
For the Vorcha issue, Starship Spotter says...
"Some aspects of the Vor'cha class design reflect Starfleet technologies exchanged during the years of détente. The Starfleet influence can be seen in the Bussard collectors mounted on the forward ends of the nacelles. However, these collectors are supplemental to the ram intakes on the wings."

So was the Vor'cha designed by both Klingon and Fed designers, or was the Vor'cha inspired by Fed designs and technology?
