Hrakkour IV

Hrakkour is a Class M planet that was formerly in Klingon space. The planet is home to an advanced life form known as Bialbi.

For many years, the planet Hrakkour was a colony of the Klingon Empire, with a large population living on the surface. The planet was ruled by the Kenka family. During the 2260s the planet's governor was Admiral Vlict Kenka when the planet was visited by the being Quetzecoatl. Quetzecoatl convinced the population of Hrakkour to adopt a more peaceful outlook on life rather than the more traditional outlook most Klingons held. In response, Admiral Kenka committed genocidal activities on Hrakkour, killing the entire colony by subjecting the planet to intense bursts of radiation.

That level of brutality would've been too much even for the Klingon government, and Kenka realized that he needed a scapegoat to take the blame for the genocide. Kenka blamed Quetzecoatl for the genocide on Hrakkour, and forced the United Federation of Planets to find and bring Quetzecoatl to Hrakkour for trial. Captain James T. Kirk attempted to intervene, and convinced Admiral Kenka to allow him and his landing party to undertake several trials on Quetzecoatl's behalf. During these trials Kirk and his landing party encountered Bialbi. Bialbi stopped the Klingons from executing Quetzecoatl, and judged Kenka to be guilty of genocide. Bialbi sentenced Kenka to death, however Captain Kirk intervened on Kenka's behalf, and Bialbi relented.

Bialbi ordered Kenka to leave the Hrakkour system and never return on pain of death. Bialbi further ordered that no Klingon vessel was to ever return to Hrakkour, however he invited Captain Kirk to return, finding his level of social development pleasing.
