How about this. On Earth there are many beliefs in the afterlife.
it depends on who you are talking to.
The shows obviously establish the ones mentioned above. However
I don't see why we can't use the Black Fleet as an option as well.
The Black Fleet is well established in Star Trek Fiction Novels. It is
where Klingons go after they die and constontly wage war (KLINGON HEAVEN)
As far as tlhIngan-Hol is concerned is that we use the proper wordings.
