Klingon High Council
Klingon imperial governance, judicial authority, and ritual adjudicationDescription
The Klingon High Council serves as the empire’s supreme political and judicial authority, convening in the Great Hall to adjudicate treason, formalize ritual challenges like the cha'DIch, and police house honor. Council leaders exercise procedural power to accept or block challenges, authorize exile or execution, and manage state secrecy. In the processed material the Council acts both as institutional arbiter and as a political actor implicated in cover-up and factional manipulation.
