Klingon Defense Force

The Klingon Defense Force functions as the official military arm of the Klingon Empire, upholding imperial authority and maintaining order through hierarchical command led by captains such as Korris and Commander K'Nera. It operates warships, enforces imperial law, and engages in both diplomatic and military actions, including demanding extradition of renegade Klingons and offering cooperation to Starfleet. The Force confronts internal fractures as renegade factions challenge corrupted leadership, thereby intensifying political and cultural tensions within the Empire and with the Federation. It also engages in recruitment efforts to reinforce warrior traditions and loyalty among Klingons serving in Starfleet.
