- For the mirror universe counterpart, see B'Oraq (mirror).
B'Oraq, daughter of Grala, was a female Klingon in the 24th century. A physician, she studied medicine at Starfleet Medical Academy, before returning to the Klingon Empire to advocate for improving her people's medical practices and technology.
In 2376, she was assigned as chief physician of the IKS Gorkon, under Captain Klag. Early on, she tried to convince Klag, who had lost his right arm in the Battle of Marcan V, to have himself fitted with a prosthetic replacement. Klag refused, but eventually consented to have his recently dead father's arm transplanted, a procedure B'Oraq performed. (TNG novel: Diplomatic Implausibility)
Later that year, B'Oraq invited legendary Federation doctor Leonard McCoy to speak to the Klingon High Council in support of improved medical standards. Both were diverted when Malkus the Mighty overtook McCoy's consciousness, but eventually did reach Qo'noS with the doctor. (ST novel: The Brave and the Bold)
Her ideas of reform were unpopular with the Klingon medical community, and in particular with Kowag, physician to the High Council. In late 2376, he led her expulsion from the Klingon Physicians Enclave. However, her forensic work following an aircar accident in the city of Novat, which helped to preserve the honor of Councillor Kryan, led to the abolishment of the KPE and the creation of a new Klingon Medical Authority.
Also in this same period, B'Oraq began a romantic relationship with Captain Klag. (KE novel: A Burning House)
