Because you promote the Klingon language, we honor you. FMC

Promoted to general. MKE

CULTURE NOTES:
"Promotion due to the death of a crewmate is commonplace on Klingon ships. [...] I honor Data's memory as I did Lieutenant Yar's by attempting to perform their duties as well as they did." (Worf to Troi, TNG "the Most Toys")
