IKS Chech'Iw

The IKS Chech'Iw was a battle cruiser in service to the Klingon Empire in the 23rd century.

In the 2250s, the Chech'Iw was under the command of General Gorkon, son of Toq, with Mazhtog as his first officer. During this time, the Chech'Iw would clash repeatedly with Federation Starfleet starship, USS Dauntless (23rd century) under the command of Captain Diego Reyes.

In an engagement with the Dauntless at Xarant in late-2258 or early-2259, the Chech'Iw severely damaged the ship, killing 18 of its crew, including the first officer, Commander Rajiv Mehta.

Five months later, in 2259, the Chech'Iw once again met the Dauntless, this time at Arkenite mining asteroid, Azha-R7a. This encounter did not end in hostilities, however. Instead, starfleet chief medical officer, Ezekiel Fisher, saved Kintazh, son of Gorkon's life from theragen poisoning.
