Perhaps the refugees were from a once mighty House that had enjoyed Imperial support and gotten the newest tech and best ships? The mightiest might fall the hardest. But they could afford to fall with *style*.

Here's another little nit: The Klingons that originally departed in the ship would have been from the "ridgeless" era. Now we don't know if all Klingons from that era looked like humans with goatees and funky hair, and we don't really know what happened, but it would have been an interesting side point to have made some reference to that.

Actually, didn't they say they left a hundred years prior? The current year on Voyager is 2377. If they were talking Earth years, that makes their departure date in 2277, which was after TMP. If they were tlaking Klingon years, that puts them closer to 2227*, at which time they might still have had the ridges.
*In a DS9 ep, a Klingon makes a log entry marked "the 999th year of Kahless", or some such. We know Kahless was around about 1500 years ago (Earth years, presumably), so a Klingon year is apparently about 1.5 times an Earth year.

Actually, yes, sort of... I believe in both Voyager and DS9 the Klingon year 1000 was seen as something not very pleasant I believe. In any case it was something special.
