A few years laterFounded in the 9th Century AD, Gowronthe history of the Klingon Empire has traditionally been one of violence and conflict. From their earliest days when the [[Hur'q]] invaded and were fought back, corrupted by or even back to their mythology whereupon the powerfirst Klingons, male and female, turned more rose up and more aggressiveslew their own gods, until he was assassinated they have been bound by a Star Fleet officer, Lieutenant Commander Worfwar. Worf then turned The Hur'q war did provide them with the empire over technology to his house-leaderleave their planet, Martokhowever, who led and soon the Klingons were forging an Empire among the empire for several years thereafterstars.
In This has naturally brought them into conflict with their neighbors. After meeting humans in the past 34 years tensions 22nd century, the creation of the Federation was a concerning development for the Empire, as the myriad of races in the Alpha and Beta quadrants were no longer such easy prey. Undeterred, however, the Empire fought with the Federation in the first half of the 23rd Century in a four-year war that was resolved inconclusively. Hostilities erupted again in the 2260s, but were swiftly halted by the Organians. While wars with the Romulans have not been frequent, and even a short-lived technology exchange between them occurred around the time of the Organian Peace Treaty, the two have raised often fought skirmishes over their contested border. The 24th century had no shortage of conflict, either, with the Klingon Civil War over the succession of the Chancellorship, as well as wars with the Cardassians and lowered dramatically; the Dominion in the 2370s, the Mirak in the 2380s, and recently things then the RDC Alliance around 2390. The fact that the Klingons have been fairly quietin the first decades of the 25th century would be understandable in any other species, although there are some growing tensionsbut for Klingons, likely means they have been biding their time.

==Military==
The Klingon military is divided into two elements: the [[Klingon Defense Force ]] (KDF) defending the entire empire, and the House fleets, manned and maintain by the Great Houses to defend their own interests.
The KDF maintains the bulk of Klingon forces, at least on paper. The KDF’s primary duties revolve around policing and keeping order within the Klingon Empire. This includes keeping conquered worlds under control. The KDF patrols the borders, ensuring that other powers do not interfere with Klingon affairs. Nominally, the House fleets can be seconded to the KDF for duties, but in practice this rarely happens outside of wartime; even then, the House fleets maintain a dangerous level of autonomy.
Klingons have never trusted the Romulans, but have had limited exchanges of technology; such as the D-7 cruisers to the Romulans; and the Romulan Cloaking Device technology to the Klingons. However due to continued political tensions and what the Klingons interpreted as ‘sneaky and dishonorable attacks’ by the Romulans on Klingon outposts and forces, the Klingons have a nearly blood-hatred of the Romulans—and consequently are very suspicious of Vulcans as well.
==Recent EventsHistory==The Klingons have had a rough go for about forty years. Just under 40 years ago there was a brief civil war''For more information, in which two families or houses that of the Duras (allied with the Romulans) and Gowron (allied with the Federation) fought for control. At the time Gowron’s forces were victorius and the treaty with the Federation stood.see [[Klingon History]]''
