And his fight scenes look like he might actually know something vague about h2h combat.

Captain
Name Modak son of Korn Template - Klag
His family house is a proud one and he has much to live up to as the eldest son. each of the last 5 generations earned the honor of induction into the order of the Batleth. Modak took particular care throughout his youth in seeking out the greatest warriors in the empire to train him and condition him. He is a master of Mok'bara having studdies for at least 2 years under each of the empires 4 greatest masters. During the The Second Battle of Chin'toka when he was Lieutenant of one of the first Birds of prey to be destroyed he led a small group of Klingons who boarded a Breen Ship and fought from the inside to take command while the IKS KI'tang fought from without. It was due to his actions here and belated commendations from his acts in Trelka V and Septimus III that he like his ancestors was made a member of the Order of teh Batleth. He recieved this honor at the same time as Klag and Worf, as such was there when Martok reminded the new inductees exactly what being a member of the order once meant. That to be a member of the order meant you were charged with the protecting and and maintaining Klingon honor. It was for this reason that as First officer aboard a class 5 Bird of Prey when Klag sent out the call to members of the Order that he the honor of the Klingon empire was at stake Modak had no hesitation in killing his captain taking command and standing beside the Gorkon and the 6 other vessels under command of members of the Order and they went into battle against the dishonorable actions of the entire Klingon fleet under the command of a honorless dog. The victory of the order, praised by by chancellor Martok was the reason he received his first command
1st officer Glag son of furok Template - Toq Glag was the Quas Devwi who fought at the side of Modak on the Breen ship. He respects the honor of his captain and would willingly follow him into stovokor. He has moved up the ranks with Modak and when given his first command was teh first crew member Modak respectfully requested of Martok.
Security chief Name Katel - house of Mogh G'Orut Template- Lokor His father and grand father before him were a members of Klingon intelligence. he was bread and trained from birth in subterfuge, stealth and tactics. He is a marksman without peer and second only to his captain aboard ship in H2H ( maybe the Quas Devwi of the first 25 is also his superior- though he would never admit it)
Medical Officer Name Konak daughter of kempu Template - B'Oraq Her father and brothers all died in battle from minor wounds poorly treated. Komak studied the ways of the warrior but also medicine. She could not abide stupidity. Not only did she learn Klingon medicine but also that of other cultures including starfleet. She was determined no warrior in her charge would die unless it was the will of Karless himself and even then not without a fight.
Pilot name Rokar son of thaag Template -Leskit ( though a little younger)of course Devil may care and reckless he is completely unpredictable as a pilot because he is just as likely to turn straight into photon torpedo fire just to see if he's good enough to dodge at the last second.
Engineer Name - KOtak - without house Race Klingon/Romulon half bread Template- Kurak KOtak was one of the children captured by the Romulans at Khitomer. She grew up with a great interest in technology and studied Romulan science from her youth pulling things apart and putting them back together ( often increasing their function and power when she did). When she was freed by Worf she spent a few years learning from starfleet technology before retuning to Cronos. Her skills and abilities were put to immediate use improving defense force weapons capability and more. The heavy losses in the Dominion war meant that more able bodied Klingons were needed on warships to replace those fallen.
Head of grunts - Quas Devwi K'empir - she is without a house. Template - Wol She strongly disagreed with her fathers stance on many things and it eventually came to a head and she left the family house and gave up the family name. Her views on her fathers choices were proven to be correct when he sided with the Duras sisters in an attempted conquest of the high council. For his treachery his family were slain and his lands taken. K'enpir was determined to make her own way, never to be held back she joined the Klingon infantry. In her fist battle her squad's orders were to hold a post in the event the advance troops needed to withdraw. When the Gem'haddar attacked in mass and had the Klingons routed her leader choose to run instead of fight. K'empir killed him and lead the other Bekk's to hold their ground. They did their job which gave the Klingons withdrawing a chance to mount a second attack which ended in victory.
That will do for me I'm drained.

@beat:
Almost everything is looking stellar. Just a few things.
1) Did you see the update to the OP? You are in the year 2410. So if Modak son of Korn became a member of the Order of the Batleth along Worf, he would be elderly, just like Worf is now as Worf was in his prime when he received such honors. If you are fine with Modak being older, then there is no problem. I just wanted to make sure you were aware that his top tier fighting ability would be limited by his advanced age.
2) In the updated OP, I have given you parameters for your ship selection as a Klingon.
3) Going to have to say no to the Klingon/Romulan half breed. Their ridges look awesome due to the mix but Klingons would have hated such a mix during TNG times (Worf, the most enlightened of Klingons even did at first), when things were in a state of "Cold War" between the Romulans and the Klingons. In STO, they are in a full out war and the Klingons would see Romulans wiped out.

Alright no half breed but still same history as Khitomer survivor child. the time frame throws out my whole crew ( most of the stuff I listed were battles of the Dominion war. can I have it that during a battle a year or two after the war their ship was either thrown through a wormwhole or the crew were frozen and the ship either came out or were revived a year os so prior to the setting. as such the entire crew is hungry to prove themselves in battle to an empire that doesn't remember them that well. Also can't see the guidelines for ships in op ( but I did just wake up) is my K't'inga class battle cruiser still ok? it would be even older now and any retrofit a little behind the times.

Actually, you can keep the Klingon/Romulan mix. The Klingons are building relations with the Romulan Republic, which are peace-loving Romulans. Klingons see helping the Romulan Republic come into power as a way to defeat the Romulans they actually do hate, which are the ones they are at war with.
But I would be completely fine with you going with the wormhole into the future thing. So you can arrive with your vessel. The problem is that it will be so dated, that in order to compete, it would need to be dry-docked for 2 years or so. Too long for any Klingon with burning blood. Odds are the Empire would just dry-dock the ship for retrofit and give you a different ship so you can remind the new generation of Klingons what honor is.
The ships available for your Tier 1 - 3 options are: Rank 0 • B'rel
Rank 1 • QulDun • Somraw • K'Tanco
Rank 2 • Norgh • Norgh Refit • Qorgh • Qorgh Refit • K't'inga • K't'inga Refit • Kamarag • Vandal • Phalanx • Dacoit Flight-Deck Cruiser
So your K't'inga is available and even with retrofit upgrades already provided. But you wont have the ship you bled in before.

If you keep the Klingon/Romulan mix though, you will need a good story to explain why the Klingons on your ship don't hate it.

Should I add individual equipment or is it reasonable to assume they all have decent phasers and appropriate weapons, tricorders, etc?

Cool, and I'll go with the K't'inga Refit as my ship. At least the flight crew will be relatively familiar with it.

If you keep the Klingon/Romulan mix though, you will need a good story to explain why the Klingons on your ship don't hate it. OK amended back story Engineer Name - KOtak - without house Race Klingon/Romulon half bread Template- Kurak KOtak was one of the children captured by the Romulans at Khitomer. She grew up with a great interest in technology and studied Romulan science from her youth pulling things apart and putting them back together ( often increasing their function and power when she did). When she was freed by Worf she spent a few years learning from starfleet technology . She was determined to get to know her own people and culture. she travelled to worlds on the edge of the klingon empire so as to start immersing herself more in her culture. Worlds from from Cronos and more forgiving. While working on a small freighter that needed repairs in a space dock and actioning repairs on it's sensors she noticed a reading in the sensors that caught her attention and seemed strangely familiar. As she investigated while playing with the sensors she realized why. It was a cloaked Romulan war bird. KOtok sounded the alarm but also fired up the engines of the freighter. Controlling the ships functions from engineering she headed the ship straight toward the Romulan warbird while making changes to the ships disruptors so that when they fired they destabilized the warbird's cloak. While the ship was decloaked she fired every remaining the weapons that the vessel had toward the bridge and then crashed the freighter through the warbard's weakened shield and bridge taking out the command crew in once deft stroke. crashed the freighter. Songs were sung across the Klingon empire about the half bread Klingon who single handedly took down a heavily armed enemy ship with an ill equipped freighter. How even the blood of a Romulon could not quell or diminish the warrior heart of a Klingon.
These Songs reached even the high council, who sent for Kotok to return to her home world. Once their her skills and abilities were put to immediate use improving defense force weapons capability and more. The heavy losses in the Dominion war meant that more able bodied Klingons were needed on warships to replace those fallen. Is that enough of a reason for my crew to accept her

KOtak can't be a captured Klingon/Romulan mix. She can only have been born on Carraya IV with her Klingon and Romulan parents. How did she circumvent control of the ship from the bridge? Was everyone just not paying attention while she took control of the freighter? Also, was she not part of the Dominion War? Your last sentence makes it sound like she is replenishing lost lives post war rather than during it.

Your last sentence makes it sound like she is replenishing lost lives post war rather than during it. I actually thought that's what i wrote in the original character break down/ back story. I now see I mixed the start of the two characters from that storyline from what I intended. there weren't any crew aboard the freighter only engineers doing repairs. none of the others had a clue what was happening. The way it sounds is my intent. for the most part during the war she was making new toys for the Klingons to fight the breen etc with. Post war with much of the empires resources depleted they needed to expand and conquer to replenish ( as per the Gorkon books - IMHO best god damn stories out of star trek universe ever). She was called up to active service partly out of the need for men/ Women and partly because they needed at least some of those involved in expanding their territory to know exactly what type of resources were worth "loosinng the most blood to acquire".

Never read those books but hey, books are canon in the STO universe so long as they don't conflict with the televised series. So free game in my opinion. Now that I am on the same page as you, I approve. Does this mean that the battle crew were already war vets before she came along and because of her heroism on the freighter, they have accepted her as worthy enough to die next to them?

pretty much yes. in their eyes she's proven herself to have a warriors heart. doesn't mean they don't have the usual amount of disdain they would for an engineer.
