Object
K'mpec's Chair
K'mpec's chair positions the chancellor's corpse upright in his quarters, drawing Picard, K'Ehleyr, Gowron, and Duras into a tight circle for the Sonchi ritual. They plunge painstiks into the body while the chair holds it steady, its plain presence underscoring Klingon rejection of wakes or reverence for the dead amid rising political hostility.
