The IKS Gothspar was a Klingon Imperial Defense Force starship in service in the 24th century. The Gothspar was commanded by Captain Kultan in the mid-24th century, and it was named after Gothspar, Kultan's late wife. His daughter Gothmara served as science officer, and her exposure as a biological weapon manufacturer led to an accident that caused the ship's destruction. Martok held many positions on this vessel in his tour as a junior officer. (DS9 - The Left Hand of Destiny novel: Book Two)
