The Klingons that raided the dilithium mines in Enterprise always seemed like they weren't part of the military machine, but were independent pirates in their beat-up transport ship. 

You can't selectively exclude a segment of society when you're trying to demonstrate the society doesn't do what that segment does. Being military or not doesn't matter here. We're asking whether Klingon has a word for spoils, not whether the Klingon government approves of despoiling.

So we're agreed that the answer to the question, what is the Klingon word for spoils?, is not "Klingons don't despoil," yes?
