House of Grilka

The House of Grilka was the name given to the House of Quark following the divorce of Lady Grilka and Quark in 2371. This came shortly after the death of Grilka's husband Kozak and the change of name from the House of Kozack to the House of Quark.

Grilka was granted special dispensation to control her house by Chancellor Gowron and the Klingon High Council. In 2373, the House became embroiled in the Second Federation-Klingon War and the Klingon-Cardassian War and lost valuable troops and starships in the process. (DS9 episodes: "The House of Quark" and "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places").

Coupled with events in the galactic scale, the House also had an ongoing conflict with the House of D'Ghor which also cost troops and caused severe damage to the ancestral home on Qo'noS. Precious artifacts and treasures were also "destroyed" by D'Ghor and his allies, but this was later proved to be a ruse for D'Ghor to steal the Kozack family treasures. (DS9 short story: "... Loved I Not Honor More").
