Everyday Klingon

The Klingon cards from the fifth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation have come to our attention, and SkyBox International Inc appears to have more than made up for the brief content of season four (reprinted in the last issue of HolQeD). The cards' text is again attributed to Marc Okrand suggesting that these are canonical phrases.

{juHqo'Daq vaS'a' tu'lu'. ngoch luchermeH 'ej wo' San luwuqmeH pa' ghom tlhIngan yejquv DevwI'pu'. DaH che' ghawran. yejquv DevwI' moj ghawran 'e' wuqta' cho' 'oDwI' Dapu'bogh janluq pIqarD HoD.}

On the Homeworld, there is a great Hall where the leaders of the Klingon High Council meet to determine policy and decide upon the fate of the Empire. Gowron currently presides, named leader of the High Council by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who was acting as Arbiter of Succession.

The sisters of the House of Duras, Lursa and B'Etor are constantly seeking a higher standing for the House of Duras within the Klingon High Council. To this end, the sisters have acted against Gowron, going as far as to work with Romulan factions in order to gain power.

S27 Qo'noS Klingon Homeworld

{tlhIngan wo' yuQmey chovlu'chugh Qo'noS potlh law' Hoch potlh puS. roD 'oHvaD juHqo' ponglu' neH. pa' 'oHtaH vaS'a' 'e'. tlhIngan qum waw' 'oH. yoq yIn yuQ 'oH Qo'noS'e'. yInSIp voQSIp je ngaS muDDaj.}

The principal planet of the Klingon Empire, Qo'noS is usually referred to as simply "The Homeworld." This is where the Klingon Great Hall is located, the center of the Klingon government. Qo'noS is a class-M planet with an oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere.
