This is the first part of my first story in tlhIngan Hol. I have
been studying SuvwI' Hol for all of two months, so I ask for your
patience. Please give me feedback and let me know anything that
needs correcting. I don't really intend to make this story too
long, and I am already too interested in Qov's ongoing saga to flood
this list with another (much more inferior) story. Here are some
words/proper names that I think should be introduced up front. I
suck at making up Klingon names so I nicked these:
Qel - Krell, the captain of the I.K.S. Devisor ( toQDuj 'oghwI')
HuS - Huss, Krell's tactical officer AND head of security (that
get's important later...)
torgh - Torg, helmsman
orayangan - Orion. I saw this term on the KLI's Extended Corpus
page. I hate to use it, but this story is set during a time when the
Organian Peace Treaty is in effect. The Klingon privateers in my
story (like Krell) are either paying Orion pirates to attack
colonies or are faking Orion raids.
'orghengan rojHom mIch - Organian Treaty Zone. I am certain someone
else has come up with a much better name, but I couldn't find
it. This is the zone the Organians set up in "Errand of
Mercy". Since open warfare is prohibited in this zone, the Klingons
have had to rely on more devious ways to curtail Federation influence.
So here goes nothing!
