latlh De'/Additional Information

This is one of many common exhortations that encourage Klingons to respond to situations appropriately.

After the <Enterprise>'s initial encounter with the entity Q, Worf gave voice to this attitude. He advised Captain Jean-Luc Picard that "our only choice is to fight." If we Klingons understand anything, it is the meaning of that kind of talk.

This marking represents the Klingon Empire and has been emblazoned upon the hulls of countless Klingon Starships. During the aggressive expansion of the Klingon people from their homeworld of Kronos into space, this symbol grew to become as feared throughout the galaxy as the menacing profiles of their battlecruisers.
