KGT p. 50-51. There is a second term for "officer," but it is not frequentlyused. As is well known, it is considered the duty of officers on Klingon ships to assassinate their immediate superior if the higher-ranking officer has beenjudged unfit to serve, perhaps as a consequence of neglecting his or her duty,demonstrating cowardice, or behaving dishonorably. This practice extends evento the captain of the ship. As a result, there are not many officers who endtheir service to the Empire by simply stepping down or retiring. There are some, however, and the word 'utlh is used to refer to an officer of this type.Perhaps "officer emeritus" is an appropriate translation.
