History
Following the successful defense against a Borg incursion into Klingon space in 2376, the {{IKS|Sword of Kahless]], Martok's {{class|Negh'Var}} battleship, brought the Chancellor of the High Council of the Klingon Empire to his base in the Beta Lankal system. Toral, leader of the House of Duras, arrived with the fleet that had been meant to be reinforcements during the Borg Collective's assault. Martok realised Toral had intentionally co-opted the fleet, and after gloating about his coup d'état, the ursurper's ships began attacking the sensor platforms in the system. Meanwhile, Martok used his station's resources to build defenses and hold Toral at bay.

With the conflict in progress, acting captain Worf, son of Mogh, arrived in the {{{USS|Avenger|Defiant class}} and travelled to Martok's base to deliver the Sword of Kahless, to cement Martok's legitimacy as the Klingon chancellor. With his fleet in tatters, Toral vacated the system with his {{class|Negh'Var}} flagship, while Martok boarded the Avenger, which used a wormhole as a shortcut to the K'lai Klinzhai system.
