The T'Ong firing its disruptors.

The IKS T'Ong is a Klingon K't'inga-class battle cruiser, commanded by Captain K'Temoc. The T'Ong was dispatched on a "crucial" long-range mission from the Klingon Empire in 2290, when the Federation and the Empire were still at war. Due to the long travel time involved, the T'Ong's crew was placed into cryogenic suspension for the journey.

In 2365, the cruiser was returning to the Empire, becoming a cause of great concern as the revived crew would pose a threat to thirteen lightly defended Federation colonies in the sector, including those in the Boradis system. The USS Enterprise-D was the closest vessel capable of intercepting the T'Ong, and Starbase 336 sent Special Emissary K'Ehleyr as an advisor. It was initially believed that the destruction of the T'Ong was unavoidable once the revived Klingons were confronted by their former adversary, but the T'Ong was saved when Lieutenant Worf masqueraded as the captain of the Enterprise and convinced K'Temoc that the Federation and the Klingon Empire were now at peace.
