The IKS Amar (IKC-7736), also known as the IKC Amar, was a Klingon K't'inga-class battle cruiser in service to the Klingon Empire's Klingon Defense Force in the late 23rd century. The Amar was commanded by Captain Krase. (TOS movie: The Motion Picture, ST reference: Star Trek Encyclopedia, ST roleplay module: Starships)
In 2273, the Amar led a squadron of three battle cruisers to intercept a mysterious cloud phenomenon crossing Klingon space at high warp, later identified by the crew of the USS Enterprise as V'Ger. The Amar and squadron fired photon torpedoes into the center of the cloud, and were promptly decompiled and converted into pure information by V'Ger's advanced high-energy plasma. (TOS novelization: Star Trek: The Motion Picture; CCG: The Motion Pictures; RPG sourcebook: Starships; Reference book: Star Trek Encyclopedia)
By the 24th century, this vessel's name had been passed on to the IKV Amar, also of the K't'inga-class. (TNG video game: Starfleet Command III)
- The Amar was referred to as having the name registry "IKC" in the Star Trek CCG and early versions of the Encyclopedia, although later versions of that reference and other books list it as "IKS". The ship's registry number comes from the Decipher RPG books.
