The First City in 2368.
The First City (Klingonese: veng wa'DIch) was a municipality on Qo'noS near the Qam-Chee River, and the capital city of the Klingon Empire.
It was founded thousands of years ago, before the time of Kahless the Unforgettable, as a fortress on a highly defensible mountain range, with the Great Hall as its only structure. (DS9 - The Left Hand of Destiny novel:[citation needed]) Once Kahless united the Klingons, it became the planet's seat of power, though it was not until the reign of Emperor Sompek that it became a true city. (KE novel: A Burning House)
On stardate 5892.7, the First City was invaded by the Decepticons, being subjected to an orbital bombardment by Trypticon. Salvation arrived in the form of the Autobots and the crew of the USS Enterprise who delayed the invaders long enough for Kuri to summon a fleet of D7s that defeated the Decepticons. In the aftermath, Gorkon allowed the Autobots and humans to go in peace on the condition that the Decepticons were left in Klingon custody. (TAS - Star Trek vs. Transformers comic: "Issue 5")
The architecture of the First City was originally dictated by the need for defense against aerial attack, leading to pyramidal designs and high spires. Other styles were used in following centuries; however, in the aftermath of the destruction of Praxis, Chancellor Azetbur decreed that all rebuilding in the First city should follow the design of the Great Hall and other structures of Sompek's era. (KE novel: A Burning House)
The city has come under attack several times over the years. In 2368, it was attacked by forces loyal to the House of Duras during the Klingon Civil War. (TNG episodes: "Sins of the Father", "Redemption, Part I") In 2376, it came under attack from forces loyal to Morjod, son of Martok during his attempted coup. (DS9 - The Left Hand of Destiny novel: Book One) Much of the First City - including the Great Hall - was destroyed by the Borg during their 2381 attack on Qo'noS. The destruction of the Great Hall led Martok to claim he was the only chancellor to have the Great Hall destroyed twice. (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls)
Kelvin timeline
In 2261 of the Kelvin timeline, Section 31 entered into an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire to destroy the Klingons. With a new generation of Romulan warbirds totalling the Klingon defence fleet and providing a chaotic cover, Section 31 marines captured the First City, holding the Klingon High Council hostage as they prepared to detonate the last sample of red matter in the Great Hall before James T. Kirk convinced them that the threat of the red matter was a more valuable weapon. Content with the damage they'd done to the Empire, Section 31 retreated. (TOS - The Khitomer Conflict comics: "Part 3", "Part 4")
