Do not read if you are not up to date with the current US showing of ST
DS9

ST DS9 did just that this last Sunday. A Kilingon BoP uncloaked next to
a
sun and triggered a flare that wiped out a Dominion ship yard. Best use
of a
cloaked ship that I can think of. It was however a little less direct of
an
attack then you would think a Klingon would make.
