HEROES OF THE EMPIRE
The House of Durasby David R. A Grate The House of Duras was once considered one of the Great Houses of the Klingon
Empire and was extremely active both within and outside of the Empire. It is very difficult to
obtain accurate information about the House of Duras from the Klingon Empire, so unfortunately
most references herein are courtesy of the Freedom of Information Act of the United Federation
of Planets and ship and station logs available through the library of Omega Prime. Duras was the captain of the IKS Bortha, and attempted to free Klingon prisoners
believed to be aboard the USS Enterprise NX-01. He was fired upon by the Enterprise in what
was believed to be an unprovoked attack, crippling the Bortha. ((3)) Duras was a leader of the House of Duras and contender for the chancellorship after the
impending death of Chancellor K’mpec. Duras was accused of the dishonorable act of poisoning
K’mpec, but substantial proof was never found. Fearing that he would accused, falsely, by the
parmaqai of Worf, Ambassador K’Ehlyr, of attempting to murder the chancellor as well as cheat
during the Rite of Succession, Duras honorably challenged and defeated the ambassador. Before
Duras was able to complete the Rite of Succession and gain his rightful place as chancellor, Worf
murdered him aboard the bridge of his own ship, the IKS Vorn. ((5)) Footnotes |
Lursa and B’Etor were the misguided sisters of Duras -- Lursa the elder and B’Etor, the
younger -- who believed that the Romulans might be able to assist in keeping the Klingon
Empire together during the Klingon Civil War. ((6)) After a number of challenges to Gowron and his
followers went astray, Lursa and B’Etor joined forces with the El-Aurian scientist Soran, but
were killed by the USS Enterprise NCC-1701D. ((7)) Toral is the illegitimate son of Duras, considered a member of the House of Duras. His
existence was brought to the attention of the High Command on Stardate 44995.3 when he, as
the only son of Duras, Son of Ja’rod, was denied his rightful place as a contender for the
chancellorship according to the Rights of Succession. Chancellor Gowron refused to allow Toral
to be heard, forcing a civil war which Toral neither wanted, nor intended. ((8)) Footnotes [edit] MembersSources
