(skybox card)

This marking represents the Klingon Empire and has been emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon Starships. During the aggressive expansion of the Klingon people from their homeworld of Kronos into space, this symbol grew to become as feared throughout the galaxy as the menacing profiles of their battlecruisers.

(skybox card)

The Klingon battle knife is designed primarily for versatility of use, so that the user is never caught at a disadvantage. Two small, secondary blades eject from the knife's sides, providing both a hand guard and another set of cutting edges. A brutally spiked pommel fastens the hilt together to provide a damaging surprise attack or give a devastating backhand stroke.

(skybox card)

Klingon starship design is vastly different from Starfleet technology. A huge amount of the ship's power and technology is devoted to its weapons grid and defensive systems. Unlike most Starfleet vessels, the main viewer on a Klingon ship is usually overlaid with a complex target acquisition grid.

(skybox card)

The Imperial Klingon Vessel is a K'vort-class-Bird-of-Prey under the command of Captain Kargan. It has the best weapons and some of the finest warriors in the Klingon fleet.

(skybox card)

A Klingon communicator sends a signal through subspace radio. Older models were susceptible to radiation.

On the Homeworld, there is a great hall where the leaders of the Klingon High Council meet to determine policy and decide upon the fate of the Empire. Gowron currently presides, named leader of the High Council by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who was acting as Arbiter of Succession.

(skybox card)

The sisters of the House of Duras, Lursa and B'Etor are constantly seeking a higher standing for the House of Duras within the Klingon™ High Council. To this end, the sisters have acted against Gowron, going as far as to work with Romulan factions in order to gain power.

(skybox card)

When a Klingon warrior dies or is killed, other Klingons may perform a ceremonial howl or yell as part of the Klingon death ritual. The eyes of the fallen Klingon are opened and others roar in a great crescendo. This yell is victorious in nature, rather than mournful and also serves to warn the other dead that a Klingon warrior is coming.

(skybox card)

The Klingon Painstik is an important part of a Klingon's Age of Ascension ceremony. The Painstik is employed by friends of the recipient who use the devices to inflict pain in a manner which will allow the Klingon to attain a higher state of spirituality as a warrior, proving his mettle. Painstiks are a little over one meter long and emit a highly-charged shock for the express purpose of inflicting pain.

(skybox card)

All Klingon vessels are equipped with a cloaking device, allowing the ship to fly in a state of practical invisibility. Cloaking technology was gained through an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire, possibly in exchange for Warp Drive technology. Due to the tremendous energy drain of a cloaking device, weapons cannot be discharged while the cloak is in operation.

(sentence)

See the spy creeping,
He will feed on the weak-hearted,
See the targ*, an easy prey.

(sentence)

Morath, as you failed to kill your prey,
So will Molor fail to conquer his
Kahless, be aware of danger in all forms.

(sentence)

Kahless, pull your d'k tahg*,
Kill the beasts in this forest,
One a targ, and two who call themselves Klingon.

(sentence)

My brother, you failed to kill,
The head is my reward,
You bring the carcass home.

(sentence)

One day, brother Kahless,
You will not be laughing,
One day, one day, one day!

(sentence)

What is an envoy of Molor,
Son of Markag, doing in these woods?
You are far away from home, stranger.

(sentence)

In the Saq'sub all is quiet,
Its warriors asleep, like children
Waiting for death to come

(sentence)

In their homes, in their homes,
Waiting for death to come,
Death to come.

(sentence)

He leaves his kin, unlocks the gates,
The army closes in, smelling blood.
Oh, Morath, and you know this:

(sentence)

Morath knows he has been a fool,
His promised kingdom will be ash
By the time he claims the sword.

(sentence)

How does a coward claim a sword?
By taking it from his sleeping father.
So he did, so he did, so he did.

(sentence)

Do not resist, me, son.
Father and son fighting,
There is nothing worse.

(sentence)

You have water running through your veins!
Give it to me,
I command you!

(sentence)

There will be
Nothing to command,
Ever again!

(sentence)

Running
Over the Black Hills
Until Kri'stak* blocks their path.

(sentence)

Their anger so hot,
It could melt the rock
Like the mighty Kri'stak.

(sentence)

And Morath’s strength was gone,
The coward threw his sword
Into the fire streams of Kri'stak.

(sentence)

And Kahless was alone
Walking along the shore,
His fate heavy on his shoulders.

(sentence)

My Klingon brother,
Why are you out here,
Where even the thranx* don’t grow?

(sentence)

Can I help a fellow Klingon in need?
May I sit
And rest with you?

(sentence)

Dear old friend,
I cannot speak of my tragedies,
There is nothing left for me.

(sentence)

The old man walks away,
Then dawn lights the surroundings,
Kahless is at the entrance of Gre'thor.

(sentence)

One can only return from this Underworld,
If Fek'lhr does not notice one
Entering or leaving Gre'thor.

(sentence)

No one has ever succeeded
Walking along the banks
In the heart of Kri'stak,

(sentence)

Kahless finds himself in a cave
Leading to
The world beyond the living.

(sentence)

I am made for great deeds,
I must take control
Of myself, my surroundings, everything!

(sentence)

I will save my kin
From Gre'thor
And take revenge!

(sentence)

It ends at a cliff,
Leading straight into the core
Of Kronos

(sentence)

And Kahless fell
For eternity, it seemed,
In never ending darkness.

(sentence)

Strange sounds come from afar,
It is the barge of the dead,
With Kotar at its helm.

(sentence)

My brother, I see your anger,
You might have a chance
To make amends.

(sentence)

Come, come, come
With me to the living,
And fight Molor with me.

(sentence)

In battle, you will die with honor,
So you can give yourself to Kotar
As a hero of the Klingon tribes.

(sentence)

This can only mean
Our family bonds are stronger
Than even death itself.

(sentence)

Brother, on this day I swear
To be honorable and die
In battle, fighting against Molor.

(sentence)

First Nach, the form of the head,
Then Ghiv, the form of the legs and arms,
Then Burgh, the form of the stomach,
Then Bing, the form of the space above and below,
And Dung, the space beside,
And finally Tiq, the heart and center of all things,
May it forever beat, anywhere.

(sentence)

Kotar, Kotar, Kotar!
Two of your souls are missing,
You can sense it, but how can it be?

(sentence)

He has broken the ancient rules,
He has defied his destiny
Curse this Klingon, who has no shame!

(sentence)

I will bring this p'takh to justice
And teach him life and death,
The slow and painful way!

(sentence)

Qempa'keh, we will travel
Up the river of blood
And bring this traitor down!

(sentence)

To tell the Klingon tribes
their story of courage,
And honor.

(sentence)

To make the Klingon people proud
And self-sufficient once more,
And fight with honor!

(sentence)

To remind them that they
Don’t need anyone but themselves,
For they are Klingon!

(sentence)

Molor did not destroy Kahless
By burning his house
Or ravaging his lands.

(sentence)

Instead, by doing so,
Kahless grew mighty and strong,
And it fueled his will to fight.

(sentence)

On the other side of the land,
Kahless traveled the lands
With an equal number of proud Klingons.

(sentence)

About avenging their stolen pride,
About caring for their weapons,
For they represent the purity of their blood.

(sentence)

Upon reaching the upper world,
No one could speak of anything,
But the deeds of Kahless and his kin.

(sentence)

But the stories of Kahless,
Proud to be Klingon, and fierce,
Intrigued Kotar despite his rage.

(sentence)

Following the trail of Kahless,
Kotar heads for the city of Qam-Chee*,
Where he plans to kill this mortal.

(sentence)

Upon entering the city,
Kahless knows his tale
Has preceded him.

(sentence)

Then Kahless tells his tale,
The tale that inspired many before them,
And every Klingon in the room falls silent.

(sentence)

So there they are,
At Qam-Chee’s gates,
Demanding to get in.

(sentence)

In the name
Of Molor the Mighty,
Demanding to get in.

(sentence)

And if I die,
I do so next to a brave Klingon,
I will at least die with honor!

(sentence)

Fighting side by side
Against the odds
For survival together.

(sentence)

After having sealed this bond in blood,
The two lovers left for the river Skral,
Where the assembled warriors awaited them.

(sentence)

Kahless, Kahless, Kahless,
You are but a glob fly*!
You sound irritating, but you lack the sting!

(sentence)

Look at these p'takhs at your side,
They don’t know how to distinguish
A sword from a plough!

(sentence)

Then, the morning after,
The battle will not be as short,
As it would be if my warriors were fit!

(sentence)

With it, I restore pride and values
Of the Klingon Empire, for under Molor,
They have grown weak and faint.

(sentence)

I will restore honor among the living,
You will restore honor
Among the dead.

(sentence)

The honorable will be rewarded
After death chooses to bring them to you,
If you make it so, I accept.

(sentence)

The lethal bat'lekhs
Ripped open armor,
And cut off legs in a single stroke.

(sentence)

First, Morath fell,
Fighting three men at once,
A fatal wound in his neck killed him.

(sentence)

Then, Kanjit fell,
Fighting at Kahless’s side,
Killing one enemy while he fell.

(sentence)

First, he watches the battle smiling,
Then, he sees many of his troops fall,
Then, he sees the Qempa'keh,

(sentence)

You dirty p'takh,
Your word means nothing to me,
Don’t speak to me of honor!

(sentence)

Did you think that my word of honor
Would have carried me this far?
Honor is for those with nothing to lose!

(sentence)

You have awoken Kahless’s anger,
His muscles filled with rage,
His mind focused and clear.

(sentence)

You stood there, you attack
Like a krencha*, short and fierce,
Avoiding long and dangerous battle.

(sentence)

Sleep well, for it will be your last night,
Put on your finest armor,
For there is no honor in attacking the weak.

(sentence)

I will show you strength,
I will show you blood,
I will show you honor!

(sentence)

Kahless and Molor,
The strength of your hearts
Will decide what is to come.

(sentence)

Both Klingon hearts beat,
At their strongest,
In lust for blood.

(sentence)

It was not long, by the third hour,
Before Kahless struck his bat'leth
Right into Molor’s hearts, ripping them out.

(sentence)

In one single move, he removed the hearts,
In one single move, he restored his honor,
In one single move, the battle was done.

(sentence)

In one single move,
Kahless decided the fate
Of thousands, and those to come.

(sentence)

Kahless takes Molor’s hearts,
Still beating, to the river Skral,
He sets them free in the crimson water.

(sentence)

May Kotar be merciful on his spirit,
For no matter his faults, at least
This Klingon brother died with honor.

(sentence)

Klingon Father,
Wise and brave,
You have succeeded.

(sentence)

Kahless united the tribes of Kronos,
And provided them with the laws of honor,
He was crowned emperor of the Klingon Empire.

(sentence)

The Klingon tribes flourished once more,
And many great victories were made
During Kahless’s reign of wisdom and bravery.

(sentence)

Remember forever that you are Klingons,
You need no one but yourselves!
I will go and join Kotar, to be with my kin.

(sentence)

Follow the honor in your spirit,
And if you should loose your way,
Remember the young warrior from the Saq'sub.

(sentence)

Fighting side by side
In an underworld, more glorious
Than Gre'thor ever was.

(sentence)

One blade to extinguish the physical life,
One blade for freeing the soul,
The Klingon’s transition was complete.

(sentence)

All of Kronos trembled once more,
For every Klingon on the planet
Followed her cry for Kahless.

(sentence)

Not only Kahless remembered his words,
Kotar also met his part
Of the arrangement at Qam-Chee.

(sentence)

Its towers grand, the space infinite,
The smell of bloodwine and gagh
Filled the barge upon entering.

(sentence)

At the centre of Sto-vo-kor,
The ancient hearts of honor and wisdom
Beat steady and strong.

(sentence)

Kotar and Fek'lhr cooled their rage there,
Slaying spirits with no honor,
No honor, no hope, no future.

(sentence)

Kahless awoke from his sleep
By the voice of Kotar
Calling him to his feet.

(sentence)

You will not only keep poor souls
From entering the realm of the proud,
You will also welcome the honorable.

(sentence)

You will offer them a place
Between these walls,
And a feast to their liking.

(sentence)

The Klingons with fear in their hearts
And water in their veins
Will stay in Gre'thor with me and Fek'lhr,

(sentence)

They will pay for the anger
You caused by entering and leaving,
Gre'thor in search of your kin.

(sentence)

Now, by the deeds of Kahless,
Every Klingon knows the ways of honor,
And teaches their children by this tale.

(sentence)

Live the Klingon way,
History is written by the victors,
Celebrate death, for it is honorable.

(sentence)

Honor is more important than life,
May your enemies run with fear,
For you are Klingon, we are Klingon.
