(novel)] ST6 Danumlu'. Sa' Damoj. Promoted to general. MKE USAGE NOTES: (KGT 52): When used with an individual's name, a title follows the name: {tlha'a HoD} (Captain Klaa), {cheng Sa'} (General Chang), {qeng la'} (Commander Kang), and so on. (KGT 197f): If someone has an official title, such as a military rank or a position in the government, this title follows the name; for example, {martaq Sa'} (General Martok), {ghawran Qang} (Chancellor Gowron). When addressing such a person, the title is left off only when the occasion is decidedly nonofficial.

For the next 10 years the empire was ruled by a council elected by the people. Modern-day Klingon historians refer to this as the Dark Time. (DS9 "You Are Cordially Invited...") General K'Vagh was the military governor of Qu'Vat Colony and in charge of the genetics research facility there (ENT "Affliction" & "Divergence") General Krell ordered Klaa to follow Enterprise. Krell's message was taped, leaving no opportunity to respond or to question orders. Korrd is Krell's brother-in-law. (ST5 novelization) -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
