Ty'Gokor was a fortified planetoid located in an asteroid belt deep in Klingon space. It was the first world outside the Klingon home system that was brought under the flag of the Klingon Empire. It is home to the Hall of Warriors, and the Order of the Bat'leth is headquartered there. At times of war, Ty'Gokor served as headquarters for the Klingon Chancellor and the Klingon High Command, and as such, was the most heavily fortified installation in the Klingon Empire, defended by shielding, weapons platforms, and a tachyon detection grid, in addition to at least thirty warships at any given time.

In the 23rd century Ty'gokor was known for its lush grasslands and redwoods. (TOS short story: "The Unhappy Ones", VAN novel: Storming Heaven) By the 24th century it was considered a desert world. (ST video game: Infinite)
Ty'Gokor also contained a shipyard. The engineers who worked at the shipyard worked on designing the Vo'Quv-class carrier for over three years. (STO website : Ships of the Line)
