Name: I.K.S. Gar’tukh

Type: Vor’cha-class Attack Cruiser

Captain: Qyrll

Year: 2374

Background: Part of a Klingon fleet sent to Oroan IV to destroy a Dominion supply outpost. The outpost was heavily guarded but would be a glorious mission. Qyrll believed he received a vision that the the whole thing was a diversion and the real outpost was on Oroan VII. The Gar’tukh did not participate in the battle and found Oroan VII empty. They missed the Battle at Oroan IV and the Klingon fleet had been destroyed. With his command disgraced, his First Officer tried to kill him and failed. As punishment the Gar’tukh was dispatched to the Elkauron II Federation Outpost near the Gorn border, far from battle. They were to aid Starfleet and their Corp of Engineers to enhance the defences at the outpost. The Starfleet liaison was Commander William Riker. Their penance was cut short when part of the Gorn fleet blasted through the system and overwhelmed the planetary defences. The survivors (including Qyrll and Riker) beamed up to the Gar’tukh for a last stand against the Gorn. Boarding parties using breaching pods fought their way in, Qyrll buying some time by ejecting the warp core directly onto one of the other ships (killing himself in the process). As the crew and survivors were routed to the bridge Riker changed the environmental settings to extreme cold, that hampered the Gorn much quicker than the Klingons and humans. The Gorn withdrew into a forced state of hibernation, allowing the defenders to retake the ship. They located the Gorn leader and forced his surrender (once thawed).

oName: I.K.S. ‘avwi

Type: Vor’cha-class Attack Cruiser

Affiliation: Klingon Empire

Captain: Kol

Year: 2370

Background: Klingon flagship circa 2370. Commanded a squadron of warships to DS9 after the destruction of the K’Tang by what appeared to be the Cardassians. Officially they were there to help “protect” their Federation allies against the Cardassian Union. Although a state of war technically existed between Cardassia and Qo’noS, Kol agreed to mediation by a Federation negotiator and would lead his people’s delegation. During the negotiations only the command ships of each delegation were allowed to stay but as negotiations broke down the ’avwi faced off not only against a Cardassian cruiser but two of the station’s runabouts protecting it. Additional ships from both sides converged on the station but when another runabout emerged from the wormhole being chased by a Romulan warbird it was clear they had been duped. The ‘avwi and the Klingon forces converged on the warbird and destroyed it, avenging their fallen comrades. Not long afterwards they were assigned to map possible colonization sites and military targets in the Gamma Quadrant. After an incident where several officers were killed by villagers on Shelvar 6 (mistaking them for Dominion mercernaries) an Imperial Adjunct - Katha - was assigned by Gowron to facilitate first contact missions. In actuality she was assigned to substantiate claims that Lursa and B’Etor were in the Gamma Quadrant trying to obtain large mineral deposits. They responded to a distress call from a Federation Colony on Gakora stating they were under attack by unknown forces. They found one badly injured survivor who was of no help. They put him in stasis and returned to DS9 to off-load him and return to the Gamma Quadrant to find the culprits. Sisko and Dax were ordered by Starfleet Command to join in on the mission. It wasn’t long before the ‘avwi came under fire from a fleet of small fighters. The Myvock then recognizing the Klingons as their allies stood down believing they had brought two Starfleeters to them. They led the Klingon ship to their world to meet with the Myvock King. They eventually discovered that Lursa and B’Etor were behind the incident as they incident the locals to kill the humans that had tresspassed on their “Sacred World.” After eventually escaping (along with a captive King as well as Bashir and O’Brien) they returned to Gakora and exposed the Duras Sisters’ mining operation. Koleth, an officer that had been saved by Bashir previously, gave his life for the Doctor on the surface. They returned to Myvock and exposed the Military Commander’s treachery to his King.
