IKS Gorkon

IKS Gorkon was a Klingon starship, Qang class, in service in the late 24th century.

Gorkon underwent its shakedown cruise shortly after the end of the Dominion War, under the command of Captain Klag. Its first mission involved settling the attempted revolt on planet taD against its Klingon governor. (TNG novel: Diplomatic Implausibility) Shortly thereafter, the ship was ordered to assist the USS Enterprise-E to locate several missing Federation dignitaries, leading them to Narendra III where they were forced into battle against fellow Klingons under the control of the Malkus Artifacts (novel: The Brave and the Bold)

The Gorkon was then assigned, along with several other Qang-class vessels, to explore the Kavrot Sector in search of new worlds to conquer and use for the enrichment of the Klingon Empire. Gorkon succeeded in bringing the worlds of San-Tarah (IKS Gorkon novels: A Good Day to Die, Honor Bound) and Elabrej (IKS Gorkon novel Enemy Territory) into the Empire.

The Gorkon was named for Klingon Chancellor Gorkon. See also: USS Gorkon
