Chargh class house ship

Another redesign of a Star Trek Discovery (2017) Klingon ship. This time it's the Chargh class' turn (https://bit.ly/3KdZidO). I reimagined this ship as an ancient tug refit into a flagship for some lesser house which could not afford a planet-side keep.
Under thick armor plates is a mishmash superstructure housing farms, training schools, quarters, factories, command stations, and housing for thousands of warriors. The space between the two massive booms could even be used as a safe drydock space. In terms of weapons, the ship has been collecting an eclectic array of weapons from various lesser races defeated over the past 300 years. Though not designed for combat, the sheer volume of weapons ranging from nuclear missiles to second hand capital grade torpedo launchers allows this house ship to bring up a credible defence when threatened.

This particular refit managed to acquire two antiproton weapons from some ancient wreak

The usual "payload" for a tug were a pair of birds of prey, a cruiser, and a support ship. In this case the DaSpu' class siege ship.

In order to assist in its role as house ship, refits are usually equipped with robust air traffic control facilities

The armor shell around the superstructure was left purposefully cavernous, allowing for future upgrades and ease of maintenance for existing structures.
Plus it makes for a fun training ground.
