Battlecruiser Vengeance
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
Battlecruiser Vengeance was a Klingon recorded serial melodrama created in the early to mid 23rd century. It featured the adventures of Klingon Captain Koth of the Vengeance, in conflict with alien races such as Humans, Romulans and Kinshaya. Koth was always triumphant, and each episode ended with the line, "I am Captain Koth. Koth of the Vengeance. And this ship is my prize." The serial was widely distributed, seen even by human Emanuel Tagore, who became fond of the series. (TOS novel: The Final Reflection)
Although Battlecruiser Vengeance ceased production in the 23rd century, it remained known in Klingon culture into the 24th century. As a child, G'joth used to play at being Koth with his friend Krom. (KE novel: A Burning House) In 2376, G'joth obtained a collection of Battlecruiser Vengeance recordings from Tarmeth following his death. (GKN novel: Enemy Territory) G'joth later gave copies of those recordings to Krom's son, Gurlk. (KE novel: A Burning House)
A number of Battlecruiser Vengeance novels were also produced. Ferengi trader Sekki had the entire run of these stories on a PADD, among other Klingon works. Upon discovering this, Starfleet security officer Ensign Altoss wondered aloud why anyone would read novels based on a serial drama. (ST novel: A Singular Destiny)
