Klingon Squadron Commanders

Strategic Military Command

Description

Kurn rallies four squadron commanders stationed in strategic sectors of the Klingon military. They pledge loyalty and will mobilize under his lead to support the delayed strategy Worf imposes: wait for Gowron's weakening by Duras sisters, then intervene to restore the Mogh family's honor. These commanders provide essential force for the brothers' calculated challenge to the High Council, blending military might with house politics.
