How so? "...first Klingon vessels..." has the word "first" modifying the
noun "vessels", so it's not being used as an adverb here. The placement
of {wa'DIch} *before* the noun is at odds with the description given in
TKD, but its usage in an adverbial sense is not suggested at all. >>

would mean to me "At first, the Klingon ships struck fear in the enemies of
the Empire." That makes wa'DIch an adverb.
