The 5th Battle Fleet is a Klingon Empire battle fleet, a military unit consisting of Klingon Defense Force starship.
History and specifics[]
In the year 2268 the 5th Fleet was based out of the Klingon planet of Q'Tahl. That same year Starfleet listening posts along the border detected an expeditionary force of three Klingon bird-of-preys and two Klingon dropships as they headed to the last known position of the starship Dulcinea. The Klingon ships were destroyed when Lieutenant commander Bridget McLellan detonated a 5 megaton Trilithium bomb near the Klingon landing site. (VAN - Declassified novella: The Stars Look Down)
In 2381 the Fifth Fleet was under the command of General Klag, son of M'Raq. Among their campaigns included holding off the Borg at Morska during their general invasion in 2381 (ST - Destiny novel: Lost Souls) and the liberation of Krios from the Holy Order of the Kinshaya later that same year.
