Vekma



Vekma was a Klingon officer serving under Captain Kargan aboard the IKS Pagh in 2365. Her interest in the limits of human endurance led her to proposition Commander William T. Riker during his service onboard the Klingon ship. (TNG episode: "A Matter Of Honor")

By 2379 she was Captain of the IKS Taj. The Taj was among a fleet of cloaked vessels sent with ten Klingon Cruisers to Tezwa. All Klingon ships except the Taj were destroyed in the initial battle over the planet while the Taj was saved when the Enterprise towed her away from the battle. When Commander Riker boarded the Taj, Vekma was the only survivor. She was upset that Riker had denied her death in battle and therefore her entrance to Sto-Vo-Kor. She cursed Riker and his house and spat on him with her dying breath.
