Klingon Empire


Humanoid warrior civilization, originally from the planet Qo'noS; a proud, traditiona bound people who value honor.  The aggressive Klingon culture has made them an interstellar military power to be respected and feared.  There is no equivalent of the devil in Klingon mythology, although a beast knwon as Fek'Ihr is believed to guard the underworld of Gre'thor.  According to myth, ancient Klingon warriors slew their gods a millennium ago.  They  were apparently more trouble than they were worth.   In Klingon society, the death of a warrior who has died honorably inbattle is not mourned.  In such cases, the survivors celebrate the freeing of the spirit.  They believe in an after-life but there is no burial ceremony.  They dispose of the body in the most efficient means, confident that the warrior's spirit has now joing Kahless the Unforgettable in Sto-Vo-Kor.  If a Klingon warrior strikes another with the back of his hand, it is considered a challenge to the death.
