I.K.S. Gorkon

Encyclopedia : I : IK : IKS : I.K.S. Gorkon

In the fictional Star Trek universe, I.K.S. Gorkon refers both to a Klingon spaceship (I.K.S. stands for Imperial Klingon Ship) and a series of novels written about it by Keith R.A. DeCandido.

The I.K.S. Gorkon is a Chancellor-class war cruiser, named after the Klingon chancellor Gorkon. It is a quarter of a qelI'qam (about half a kilometre) long and has a crew compliment of over 2000. It is one of the first Chancellor-class ships, sent by chancellor Martok to the previously unexplored Kavrot sector to find new planets to conquer for the glory of the Klingon Empire.

Trivia

Author Keith R.A. DeCandido, who writes the Gorkon novels, often envisions his characters being 'played' by certain actors. He writes Lokor with Keith Hamilton Cobb in mind; Lucy Lawless was his inspiration for Leader Wol.
