IKS Targ

The IKS Targ was a Klingon starship, a bird of prey in Imperial Defense Force service in the 24th and 25thcenturies. In the 2400s decade, the Targ was part of the forces belonging to the House of B'vat. 

Service history
During the Dominion War, the Targ docked at Starbase 209 for repairs in early 2374. Also undergoing repairs at the station at this time were the USS Gettysburg (NCC-3890), the USS Earhart (24th century), the USS Seleya and the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E). 

The Vorka was the first to strike, attacking the unnamed Type-4 shuttlecraft piloted by the two lieutenants soon after it had departed the starbase. However, Chekov and Sulu were able to escape into a nearby asteroid belt and trick the crew of the Vorka into thinking they had left it again by firing one of the shuttle's on-board probes and escaping in the opposite direction. 

In 2409, the Targ was stationed by General B'vat in the Donia system, as part of a plan to unleash a planet killer on the Federation. First officer K'Valk learned of the dishonorable scheme and mutinied against Captain D'Tang. The mutiny failed and K'Valk was remanded to the brig. A team of Starfleet officers found him there after they eliminated the Klingon forces in the Donia system and captured the Targ. K'Valk revealed B'vat's treachery to them, and together they used the Targ to infiltrate the Imaga system. Following a showdown with B'vat and his forces on a planet's surface, K'Valk left the Targ aboard a shuttle and caused severe damage to the planet killer by setting a collision course. Joining forces with a Federation fleet, the Targ used the hargh'peng torpedo gleaned from to destroy the doomsday machine. To avoid furhter bloodshed, Starfleet Command agreed to return the Targ to the Klingons after the battle.
