Notes

In HolQeD v5n2p11, we learn that if a noun following Hoch is explicitly plural, it means "all", if it's singular, it means "each" or "every".

In TKW p. 33, it is used as first noun in noun-noun pair:

Hoch 'ebmey tIjon.
Capture all opportunities.

Contrast with

Hoch 'eb tIjon
Capture each/every opportunity. 

From the paq'batlh:

Hoch tuq
Hoch puq poH
loD be' je

All tribes,
All ages,
All sexes.

And

ghIq lutDaj jatlh qeylIS
latlhpu' law' pIlmoHpu' lutvam
pa'Daq tamchoH Hoch tlhInganpu'

Then Kahless tells his tale,
The tale that inspired many before them,
And every Klingon in the room falls silent.

If Hoch follows a noun, it means "all of X" as in nIn Hoch natlhlu'pu' "All the fuel has been consumed".

latlh De'/Additional Information
Since this expression refers to being in space ({loghDaq}), it is either a relatively new saying or else it is an updated version of an older one. There is no way to know for sure. Klingon have been capable of interplanetary travel for at least 200 standard years, enough time for many new phrases to work their way into common usage. Clearly, it refers to warriors being in an environment far away from governmental or bureaucratic fetters, a setting where warriors are free to be just warriors and not worry about political consequences. Without knowing more about ancient Klingon history, what, if anything, might have predated "{loghDaq}" in the expression cannot be determined. Perhaps it was a term referring to the open seas, as the Klingons have a history of naval warfare. The Klingon words translated "cold warriors" are "{Suvrupbogh SuvwI'pu'}," literally, "warriors who are ready to fight."

All Klingon vessels are equipped with a cloaking device, allowing the ship to fly in a state of practical invisibility. Cloaking technology was gained through an alliance with the Romulan Star Empire, possibly in exchange for Warp Drive technology. Due to the tremendous energy drain of a cloaking device, weapons cannot be discharged while the cloak is in operation.
