- Overview
- Khitomer is a planet near the Romulan/Klingon border. First heard of in ST:VI as a neutral planet, later in TNG as a Klingon outpost where Worf was found as a child.
History
In 2293 the Khitomer Peace Conference was held here. This resulted in the Khitomer Accords, a peace treaty between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets. The Federation and Klingon Empire began to resume friendly relations. In 2346 the Khitomer Massacre occurred. The Romulans attacked and killed some 4000 Klingons. One hundred Klingons were taken prisoner and moved. The attack was made possible by the betrayal of Ja’rod. This Klingon gave the Romulans secret defence codes. Two other survivors were discovered and rescued by the crew of the USS Intrepid, Worf and his nursemaid Kahlest.
