Have to disagree with you there, Alan. There _was_ an asymmetric 
Klingon ship -- the D-11 destroyer (? FASA weren't very good with their 
naval terminology; almost as bad as JMS) -- think of something like a 
standard D-7, but with only an enlarged port wing (the "starboard" 
engine . They did do a mini of it, but it was an early design (first 
edn rules and Ship Recognition Manual) and may have been quietly 
forgotten when they went to 2nd edition. It didn't, for instance, make 
it into the Starship Combat Simulator game.
