IKS Tong Vey

The IKS Tong Vey was a B'rel-class bird of prey operated by the Klingon Empire's Defense Force. In 2339, it was assigned to guard the recently established dilithium mining operation on Ivex II, under the command of Captain Klotha.

When the Federation starship USS Tempest (NCC-10535) arrived in the system to smooth tensions between adjacent Federation and Klingon dilithium mining operations, Klotha aboard the Tong Vey insulted the Tempest crew in an attempt to bait them into combat. The Tempest resisted the bait and the Tong Vey did not end up engaging the Tempest or any other vessel during its time guarding the Klingon Ivex facility. (1.4: Incident at Ivex)

Current Status
Following the standing down of the neighboring Federation mining facility, the Tong Vey and Klotha were reassigned to other duties elsewhere in the Klingon Empire.

Background Information
The Tong Vey was named for the site of an historic battle in Klingon history, referenced by Worf in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Rules of Engagement".
