I don't get what the *vIqawba'* is doing here. If it means what it looks like it means, *I obviously remember it,* then this is not a subordinate clause lacking a main clause.
If I remember the history of the STID dialogue, I think it's there to fill out the line while Uhura's mouth kept moving. It's an unusual sentence either way. It seems like *vIqawba'* is referring to the subordinate clause as the object: "Because honor is important. I obviously remember it." ("it" being the fact that honor is important.)
