EventsEdit

The USS Sentry becomes the first Federation Starfleet vessel to encounter a warship from the Klingon Empire, the IKV Devisor, near Gamma Demetrius. ^[1]
The USS Ranger is destroyed by Klingons during a disastrous first contact with Agbar IV. ^[2]

Ngoj, head of the noble House of Ngoj, is killed fighting Romulans on Nequencia.^[3]
Qagh the Albino born to the House of Ngoj on Qo'noS. His mother orders the deformed infant slain, but he is simply left to the elements, and before dying acquired by Orion pirates.^[3]

Imperial Starfleet carries out General Order 24, exterminating all life on Qo'noS, the Klingon homeworld. The planet is then claimed by the growing Terran Empire. ^[4]

The destruction of the Ranger may have been the last, fatal encounter between the Klingon Empire and Starfleet-described as having been 50 years before the year McCoy makes the statement; in ST reference: Star Trek Chronology. The scene was deleted from the final cut of TOS episode: "Day of the Dove", but would have supported Spock's comment about it having been over, "70 years," of hostility, in TOS movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. The canon ENT episode: "Broken Bow" possibly makes Agbar Four first contact with QuchHa' Klingons, in the 23rd century. The IKS Amar transmission (from TOS movie: Star Trek: The Motion Picture) would therefore be the "re-introductuon" of HemQuch Klingons, after the 22nd century; as "outsider" aliens (DS9 episode: "Trials and Tribble-ations") theoretically wouldn't identify them. Most individuals who already know and seen this ethnic group, by the 2270s, are already dead (ENT episode: "In a Mirror, Darkly").
