Kessik IV was the inhabited fourth planet of its star system and the site of a Federation colony.

B'Elanna Torres grew up on Kessik IV, where she and her mother Miral were the only Klingons. (VOY: "Faces") Aware of this fact, Kohlar, took that into account while interpreting a prophecy that was "written that the mother of the Kuvah'magh would be an off-worlder," but Torres rebuffed his insinuation, indicating that "a lot of Klingons are born off-world." (VOY: "Prophecy")

John Torres later visited Kessik IV for some business in 2378. He was surprised at what the old Torres family house looked like. (VOY: "Author, Author")
