Changes: Hur'q

Revision as of 20:34, 11 September 2015

"Hur'q" was a Klingon word meaning "outsider," and was the name given by the Klingons to a species from the Gamma Quadrant which invaded and plundered Qo'noS in the 14th century. Among the most valuable artifacts stolen by the Hur'q was the Sword of Kahless, that was only recovered a thousand years later, in 2372. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")

In 2154, Doctor Antaak referred to the Augment virus afflicting the Klingon Empire as "the gravest threat since the Hur'q invasion." (ENT: "Affliction")

A former Hur'q outpost in the Gamma Quadrant.

By 2372, the Hur'q were extinct, and their stolen artifacts unrecovered. In that year, a Vulcan geological survey team mining bakrinium on an uncharted planet in the Gamma Quadrant accidentally uncovered ancient ruins which belonged to the Hur'q. This led to a sequence of events in which Dahar master Kor, Lieutenant Commander Worf, and Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax were able to finally recover the long-lost Sword of Kahless, although they eventually decided not to return it to the Empire. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")

Appendices

Apocrypha

The Hur'q were also featured in the video game Star Trek: Invasion, where they came back through a wormhole and had to be stopped from entering this area of the Galaxy to prevent them from taking it over. They were insectoid scavengers, whose physiology resembled that of army ants and the armor of the samurai.

According to the manual for Star Trek: Klingon Academy, the Klingons acquired warp drive from the Hur'q.

While they don't make an on-screen appearance, the Hur'q are hinted to be behind the Fek'Ihri Horde's attack in Star Trek Online.

-The '''Hur'q''' (a Klingon term meaning "outsider") was the name given by the [[Klingon]]s to a now-[[extinct]] [[species]] that flourished approximately [[12th century|a thousand years ago]].

Amongst the most valuable treasures stolen by the Hur'q was the revered [[Sword of Kahless]]. The Hur'q appear to have originated from the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. ({{DS9|The Sword of Kahless}})
