Line Briefing:
  The Reshtarc are one of the oldest of the Great Imperial Klingon Houses. For over 300 years they have been a crucial factor in Imperial policy making. Following the Praxis disaster, the House entered one of the few dormant periods in their illustrious history. The peace seeking factions banned together long enough to prevent the Reshtarc and their few remaining allies from damaging the Federation Peace process.
  Following the battle at the Khitomer outpost and subsequent signing of the Khitomer Accords, the Reshtarc withdrew from the political forum completely. The Line was seldom sought for political advice or for anything else for that matter. The Line had not fallen; by design they withdrew, biding their time for a more advantageous return.
  The Reshtarc reemergence as a Great House began in the year 2365. The Line Lord's eldest son, K'Paal(19th Lord, 7th Dynasty), who had been serving in the Imperial Navy, was assigned to the IKV T'Ong in 2290. The T'Ong was a sleeper vessel which was found in Federation territory by the Enterprise-D in the year 2365, some 75 years later. The remaining crew of the T'Ong was sent for retraining and general reintroduction into the modern Klingon society.
  Certain forces wishing to see a change in fundamental Klingon policy regarding the Federation saw to it that K'Paal and his chief advisor K'joH were placed in the fleet with K'Paal getting his own command. The two Klingons had their reeducation cut short by these allies. The effects of this action were felt almost immediately throughout the Empire, as K'Paal and K'joH gained immediate support from many disenchanted Klingon warriors.
  Reshtarc power became prominent during the Klingon Civil War. K'Paal used his power to aid Gowron and the loyalist forces against the Duras family. Klingon records are sketchy or have been deliberately deleted as to when Reshtarc holdings were returned to K'Paal and his line. The current argument in historical and Klingon cultural circles is that the Reshtarc titles and properties were never taken away.
  Federation intelligence sources believe that a bargain was struck between the peace faction in the Empire and the war faction, which included the Reshtarc prior to the Khitomer Accords. The deal which was struck allowed the Reshtarc and allied houses to retain all titles and territories in return for their silence in the peace process.
  The Civil War gave the Reshtarc the power and prestige necessary to break the constraints from such an agreement. The current Reshtarc regime is now firmly in control of their destiny and that of the lines.
  The Reshtarc are known for their fierce opposition to non-Imperial entities. They have strongly opposed alliances with both the Romulan Star Empire and United Federation of Planets. The line has often been behind many plots to either destroy or undermine the Federation/Klingon Alliance. They were somewhat successful in 2371 when they discovered and subsequently captured several Federation spies operating in Klingon territory. The spies were attempting to send information to the Cardassian Government on the future Klingon invasion.
  The Reshtarc are also known to harbor a pure hatred for non-Imperial entities within the Empire itself. Currently these hatreds have been put aside in favor of the traditional enemies of the Empire. The ensuing collapse of the Federation and Klingon Alliance has also renewed Reshtarc industry .
  Reshtarc Combined Arms Limited is now working in conjunction with Lorenssith Works and the Gholjub Line to produce a massive military force, unparalleled since the height of the Empire's Outward Expansion Policy. Currently the combined output of these three houses amounts to roughly 63% of Imperial armaments production. Intelligence reports that this conglomeration is producing 25 vessels per month for Imperial use.
  The current rate of Imperial Fleet expansion will place the active fleet at over 500 vessels before the end of the next stellar year. The most recent Imperial Fleet estimate is about 265 vessels (this figure does not include House or reserve fleets).
  The Reshtarc have also taken a positive upswing in the political arena within the Empire. They have many members in various fleet positions.
  The general feeling within the Federation is that the Reshtarc revival will collapse once the Klingons approach the Federation for a peaceful solution to the current dilemma between these former allies.
  The Federation has also found evidence from Cardassian sources that K'paal ordered his squadron to liquidate roughly 500,000 Cardassian and Eldrun people on the Klingon occupied planet of Reva 4 in Klingon occupied Cardassian space.
  The Massacre was in response to the assassination of the Drexa governor and resulting rebellion of Cardassian and Eldrun dissidents opposed to the Klingon occupation. A joint governorship was awarded to the Reshtarc, Lorenssith, and Gholjub lines. Currently Reva 4 suffers under a oppressive martial law and judicial system reminiscent of a barbarous system.
  The current relationship between the Jurris and Reshtarc is exploitable it is believed that the Jurris and their allies could be convinced to put political pressure on the Empire to end the power of the Reshtarc line and destroy the alliance between the Lorenssith, Gholjub and Reshtarc.
  There is also reason to believe that a growing gulf between Gowron and the Reshtarc may also be exploited. The Reshtarc have begun to grumble for a true Emperor while we are unsure whether they mean Kahless, or Marrik has himself in mind is unknown. What is known is that the Reshtarc have shown displeasure at Gowrons bungled attempt at obtaining total victory during the Cardassian offensive.
  There exists much speculation as to how much the Greater Houses dictated to Gowron the need to hold on to several of the Cardassian worlds. The past history of the Reshtarc line shows no instance where rebellion was started by the line.
  The new leadership is much more belligerent than the old leadership in its dealings with internal disputes. A possible scenario could involve Reshtarc and allied forces leading a insurrection if new peace iniatives are attempted.
  In the last year there have been sweeping changes within the line. K'Paal had gone mad with powerlust, seeing traitors and assassins everywhere, he began executing loyal Reshtarc Officers, most of them from the Marine Ranks, which were slowly gaining in power. These allegations of treason were not limited to the lower ranks, they went up to Colonel Marrik, the leader of the House Marine Forces. This outrage of dishonor forced Marrik to gather his allies, who also felt the need to remove K'Paal before greater injustices could be done, and launch a coup.
  Marrik and his forces, most notably a former boqdu', Captain Korvette, Marine Senior Officers M'Tov, M'Pak, may'qel and several navy squadron commanders, gathered their troops and fleet and began to launch an attack. The most notable battles occured in the Kodus System and a clandestine raid which lent to capture K'Paal and install Marrik as Linelord.
  K'Paal was kept from execution by the High Council, and was tried by a council of warriors and discomadated for his crimes. He was reportedly killed sometime later in a shuttle accident.

Reshtarc History:
  The history of House Reshtarc is rich in heritage and courage. The House was formed in the 2008 under K'vek sutai Reshtarc a Naval Captain. K'vek won a important battle against rebel forces near the Imperial City. K'vek a member of House Restaze asked for and recieved from the Emperor the right to start a House of his own.
  K'vek took the name Reshtarc which translated means "mountain" with the taking of a name K'vek now began to war against those who had sought to destroy his credibility with the Emperor. In the year 2023 he defeated a combined fleet of three Houses . The Houses of B'aj, Revik and his former House Restaze were destroyed and absorbed into the Reshtarc.
  The Line continued to grow for the next fifty years at the expense of many minor houses and eventually won the attention of a major house. The House of Kespek saw in the Reshtarc line a force that could be used against the current Emperor. The Emperor had ordered the House of Kespek to attack the Romulans in what would have been almost certain destruction for the Klingons involved.
  Kespek asked the Reshtarc to help in a plot to overthrow the current regime and establish their Line as the Imperial line. In return they promised the Reshtarc several mineral rich systems in the Mempa sector. The current Lord of House Reshtarc Adm. K'natH agreed in return that Kespek make the him the Leader of the High Council.
  Kespek was trapped he needed the Reshtarc for support, however he knew that to place the upstart Line in charge of the High Council could place his House in jeopardy. Kespek planned to destroy the line as soon as he became Emperor.
  K'natH was warned by a spy of the plan for the Reshtarc. He quickly gathered support from several other Houses and planned a trap for the House of Kesek. The Kespek sponsored coup was successful and the Reshtarc played a important part by keeping loyalist forces occupied long enough for House Kespek forces to breach the Emperors defenses. Kespek assumed the Mantle of Emperor and then turned his attention to repaying the Reshtarc.
  Kespek plan involved inviting the Line lord to view the Worlds in the Mempa sector. The Reshtarc vessels would be ambushed by House Kespek forces and other loyal Houses. The ambush was planned to occur near the Irrani Expanse a vast null zone in space where sensors could not penetrate.
  However a powerful Reshtarc Fleet was dispatched a week earlier to the same zone. The Reshtarc arrived before the Kespek forces and destroyed or captured every vessel. Emperor Kespek leading the touring fleet in his personal D4 was ecstatic when out the expanse came a vast armada containing some 35 vessels.
  The Emperors Joy turned to Fear when he saw the vessels wore the markings of House Reshtarc, Mjeth and Hurric. The battle was quick and decisive. The Reshtarc gobbled up what was left of the Kespek and secured there position as a Greater House. K'natH took over as Leader of the High Council in the year 2035.
K'natH ruled the High Council for ten years and is credited with making the Reshtarc Line truly powerful and feared under his guidance the line established itself as a major producer of weaponry for the Empire. K'nath also extended Reshtarc rulership to 20 worlds they were by far the largest of the Imperial Houses.
  The year 2043 saw another major event within the Reshtarc Line the IKV Solemn Rage was investigating Mineral Resources in the Largely uncharted Mempa Sector. The D5 found a system of 4 planets a 6 moons , Commander K'Revik vestai Reshtarc ordered a full scan of all planets. Two were discovered to be M Class one was temperate and resembled Terra. The other was much closer to the systems sun and much more tropical. K'Revik designated these two worlds as Behacor Minor and Behacor Prime. The other two worlds were designated B1 and B2.
  K'Revik took a shuttle and a group of Marines to the surface, He found the planets temperature to be comparable with that of the Homeworld as well as covered with Lush jungle like vegetation. The Commander also discovered the fierce L'eght beasts . These Dinosaur like creatures killed several of the away team before the Klingons could kill them. The planet was also rich in Dilithium which was needed by the Empire to fuel their New warp driven vessels.
  K'Revik charted the worlds and returned to the Homeworld with his reports. K'Revik took the report directly to the Epetai of the line K'Nath and gave him his findings. Since the system lay in space previously marked as Reshtarc, K'Nath ordered 6 vessels to return and begin Mining and establishing a outpost.
  By the year 2053 Behacor Prime had become the Homeworld for the House of Reshtarc. The line learned that the L'eght beasts could be trained if captured at a young age. A Reshtarc right of passage was also established which required a young warrior to go out into the wilds a capture a young L'eght beast to be his mount. This dangerous right was made equally perilous by the fact he was equipped with only his sword a 12 foot lance and a Disruptor with 1 pack.
  Generally only the strongest survived and they usually required luck. This right is still carried out but usually only by those wishing to become part of the Elite Reshtarc Lancers.
  By 2097 the Reshtarc were now the single largest and most politically powerful house in the Empire. They had already encountered the Federation and Romulan Star Empire. The Reshtarc counseled war against non-Klingons and were rewarded with general agreement by the whole of the Empire. The Empire was moderately successful in the two wars which were fought; however not enough to justify the loss of Klingon Lives.
  In 2277 things came to a crashing halt. The Imperial Houses which had suffered the bulk of the casualties were being challenged by the Fusion Households. The Reshtarc held the fusions as being little more than "testube creations" and in a stunning reversal three fusion houses reached the High Council giving the Fusions a majority.
  The Reshtarc were undaunted however. They now had enemies, who if combined could challenge them. The House Jurriss, Simparri, and Drexa stood against the Reshtarc, Solazarn and Hurric lines. Many other minor houses of mixed lines chose to support the more tolerant Fusion lines.
  Political stalemate occurred with the Reshtarc and their supporters losing ground in the fray. The newly elected Chancellor of the Empire, a fusion by the name Gorkon, had begun to put feelers out to arrange peace with the other races.
  The Reshtarc opposed this and were joined by a surprising ally: a fusion by the name of Chang; a general who also shared the Reshtarc view on peace. The divided Empire plotted a way to destroy each others' forces and on what would have been the eve of a civil war disaster struck.
  The Klingon moon of Praxis was a Reshtarc mining facility and was rich in dilithium. Praxis shared a close orbit with Kronos and was a major source of irritation to the peace forces. On the 22nd day of Year of the Targ, 2293, a small detachment of Fusions lead by an unknown dissident, exploded a plasma bomb in Mine Shaft Twelve. The resulting chain reaction explosion caused a major catastrophe for the Empire.
  Gorkon seized on this explosion and pointed quickly to the Powerful arms merchants within the Empire. The result was the Khitomer Accords however many things would come to pass before these accords could be signed. General Chang told the powerful Imperial houses and several of the Fusion houses that a faction existed within the Federation which shared their view of peace.
  Although Chang's assassination of Gorkon was successful the attempt on the Federation President failed. Peace would prevail but at a cost the Reshtarc and allies prepared to go to war against the Peace factions. Then they stepped away from the brink realizing that such a war would utterly consume the Empire and leave the Empire open for conquest.
  The Reshtarc agreed to remain silent for a time, although any attempt to strip any holdings from the line would cost dearly. One by one the other warlike houses followed suit. The Reshtarc continued to fuel the fires of the imperial forces for years they opposed many iniatives and continued to attempt to drive a wedge between the Fusion alliance.
  The final straw which silenced the Reshtarc occurred at Narendra 3 when a Romulan sneak attack occurred. The Federation vessel Enterprise-C, NCC 1701C, answered the Klingon hail for assistance and although the Enterprise-C was destroyed a peace treaty was formerly signed.
  The reemergence of the Reshtarc from what is referred to as the period of the sleeping mountain came in the year 2365. Five years earlier, before the historic Khitomer Accords were signed, the Empire had released a secret fleet of deep space sleeper vessels which were sent under cloak and were ordered to awaken only after a year of travel. The T'Ong a K't'inga class vessel was the last of several to be launched in the latter part of 2290. The vessel was commanded by K'Temoc, a comrade and supporter of the Line Lord of the Reshtarc House. Aboard the vessel was Kurak epetai, eldest son Lieutenant Commander, Junior Grade K'Paal tai-Reshtarc and Ensign K'Jev Reshtarc, an adopted member of the line.
  According to the ships data banks, the vessel was assigned to enter into Romulan space close to the Federation border. A rogue comet passed close and the gravitational pull of the comet forced the T'Ong into Federation space. The T'Ong suffered also from a destructive computer worm program intended to kill the entire crew while still in stasis.
  The worm program supposed was to interrupt the cloak feature and to put the crew into a prolonged stasis. The resulting worm program sent the T'Ong drifting into unexplored Federation territory undiscovered until the Enterprise-D, NCC-1701D, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, found it with the help of Khelar and Lieutenant Worf.
  K'Paal and K'joH awoke to a different Empire; one in which the Empire was allied with the Federation. The two were sent back to be reedjucated and retrained for fleet service. Powerful forces, however, were at work within the Empire. One year into what was supposed to be a four year reedjucation program, K'Paal and K'joH were given to the Navy for active duty.
  K'Paal, free of Imperial Security and its watchful eye, began to move. The line was leak and lacked direction under the current leadership. K'Paal began to gather a small group of young and loyal supporters.
  Rumors say that K'Mpec, fearing the rise of Duras and his line, had brought the young warrior into active duty. He knew that unlike the other Reshtarc he was untainted by the Federation peace and could be a powerful tool if used properly.
  The Resharc Line was almost as powerful as the Duras and K'Mpec had been a friend and ally of K'Paal's grandfather Kress. Whoever was responsible had unleashed a new force of change within the Empire.
  2368 brought about the rebellion under the watchful auspices of the Duras sisters. K'Paal and the Reshtarc aligned themselves with the forces of Gowron. The Reshtarc forces helped to keep the balance long enough for the Federation to intervene and uncover the Romulan/Duras connection.
  K'Paal's successful campaign fighting with Kurn's squadrons lead to his receiving a Captain's Commission and a new Vor'cha Attack Cruiser. By the year 2970 he was ready. K'Paal lead his Reshtarc followers, now over two thirds of the line, against an uncle and smashed the last of the Old Line declaring himself joHwI', or Lord of the Reshtarc.
  K'Paal has sinced himself been removed from power, and a new lord, Marrik has taken control of this mighty family.

Reshtarc Line Profiles:
Line Lords:
  The Reshtarc use a dynastic order which is based upon a direct chain from the previous Lord. The child need not have been born to the previous Line Lord. The Line Lord may adopt a child into the Line as a son, and that son then may be considered for the Epetai of the Line.
  The Reshtarc also number their Line Lords, thus K'Maal Reshtarc would be officially titled as K'Maal epetai-Reshtarc, 4th Lord of the Second Dynasty, meaning that he was the fourth Line Lord in order of Ascension and a member of the Second Dynasty or K'Naths' Dynasty.
  The dynasty sometimes was referred to by the name of the first Line Lord whose blood was different from the previous Lord. A Line Lord of the Fourth Dynasty might be referrered to as (using K'AleH as a example): K'AleH zantai-Reshtarc, Ninth Lord of the K'Avaht Dynasty. The K'Avaht dynasty was the fourth in the line of succession.
  The title Epetai, even among Line Lords, is usually only used by those who have retired from active military or diplomatic service. Among the Reshtarcs very few Line Lords used the Epetai honorific, preferring to keep their military honorific instead. Epetai status was usually given after the Lord had passed or as a significant honor.
  Currently the Reshtarc Dynastic order is at eight, meaning there have been eight different changes in the Reshtarc bloodline. The order of Lords is at twenty. No female has ever served as a ruler in the Reshtarc Line. The Reshtarc, being one of the oldest Imperial lines, tends to follow Klingon cultural standards with zealous fervor.

First Dynasty (K'Vek Dynasty): 2008 - 2035
  K'Vek sutai-Reshtarc:
  K'Vek is the founder of the Reshtarc Line. He was awarded a Line by Emperor TagH. K'Vek lead a squadron of pre-warp capable vessels against the Houses B'aj, Revik and his former House Rustazh. K'Vek served the Emporer as a trusted advisor and Warrior.
  Under K'Vek the Line received many land grants and titles from Emporer TagH. K'Vek also proved to be a visionary, for it was due to him that Kelric Reshtarc was allowed to begin his work on early warp physics.
  K'Vek died without an heir in 2035 during a preliminary warp trial. K'Vek was mated to Valkil, formerly of house Solazarn. It was discovered late after their mating ritual that Valkil was barren. K'Vek remained faithful to his mate throughout his life, never taking a consort or terminating the relationship.
  After the death of K'Vek, the Reshtarc used the term "K'Vek" when speaking of a mate. When used as such, the term means: to be loyal and to honor one's mate.
Line Rulership: 2008-2035

Second Dynasty (K'Nath Dynasty): 2035 - 2116
K'Nath zantai-Reshtarc: Admiral K'Nath zantai-Reshtarc was adopted into the Reshtarc Line in 2012. He rose quickly through the ranks obtaining the rank of Captain by the age of 32. K'Nath quickly proved his worth to K'Vek at the battle of Hagh BeK. By 2033 at the age of 53 he became the first Reshtarc Admiral in the Imperial Navy. When K'Vek died heirless in 2035, K'Nath, at the behest of Valkil, took the position as the Second Leader of House Reshtarc.
  During his 23 years of Reshtarc rulership he brought about many signifcant changes. K'Nath was responsible for gaining the valuable Mempa Sector for the line. He also ordered the construction of the Behacor Prime Orbital Facility as well as the first Reshtarc Outpost on the planet of Behacor Prime.
  K'Nath was responsible for the death of Emporer Kespek and the destruction of House Kespek. The Reshtarc and allied ships from the Solazarn defeated Kespek at the battle of the Irrani Expanse in 2041. In 2043 he orderered Commander K'revik vestai Reshtarc to seize and chart the rest of the Mempa Sector which ultimately lead to the establishment of Behacor Prime as the Throne World for House Reshtarc.
  K'Nath also became the First Reshtarc to be named Leader of the High Council he served in that role until his death in 2058. Under K'Nath the Council began to focus on the taking of worlds by military conquest.
  K'Nath had three sons to his mate Barel formerly of House Prasis. The oldest Kren died defending the Behacor Prime Orbital Facility. Kevar the next in line for the position of Line Lord died in a Honor Challenge. K'Nath never fully recovered from the deaths of two of his sons. K'Nath died a warriors death, old he was stabbed to death by a member of the High Council. The Old Reshtarc refused to die before he brought his murderer to the Black Fleet with him.
Line Rulership: 2035-2058

Krolt vestai-Reshtarc: 3rd Lord, 2nd Dynasty:
  Krolt was the third son of K'Nath and only a Lieutenant Commander when he assumed control of House Reshtarc. Krolt ruled the line for four years. Under his rulership brief as it was the Reshtarc Military machine continued its growth. Krolt continued his fathers policies on expansion.
  Krolt also planned and executed vengeance against House Mortak for the destruction of Behacor Prime Orbital Facility. Furthermore he ordered the construction of a new larger space station. Unfortunately Krolt was killed by a L'Eght beast while on a hunt for a young mount. Krolt was known as a evenhanded and fair ruler. Krolt layed the foundation for the growth of Reshtarc Industries in 2061.
  Krolt was consorted to Mareth of House Reshtad. Krolt had one son K'Maal and two daughters Grexa and MaG'Wi. K'Maal born in 2042.
Line Leadership: 2059 - 2063

K'Maal tai Reshtarc: 4th Lord, 2nd Dynasty :
  K'Maal was Twenty-one when he ascended to the Title of Lord of the Line. K'Maal was known as the "Tyrant of Mempa". He ruled the line with a iron hand, under his rulership the house began to develop its intolerant and arrogant attitude. K'Maal even refused to visit Emporer Kargen when he was commanded.
  K'Maal challenged the Emporer on several occassions each time he was successful in weathering the storm. Under K'Maal, the Reshtarc added five important worlds to the steadily growing Reshtarc territories. These five worlds belonged to a race of beings called the Kelranni. K'maal personally lead the Invasion from the bridge of the IKV Stormbringer. The Reshtarc Fleet composed of thirty-five D-5's crushed the Kelranni in a five year war which lasted from 2076-2081.
  The Kelranni worlds were rich in technology and natural resources. They were taken as Kuve and incorporated into the Reshtarc state. The Kelranni, a warrior race from Beta Kel became willing warriors and would be employed in future conflicts. In 2097 K'Maal relinquished the throne to his only adopted son K'Nesk who gave his father a vessel to go out and meet his death like a warrior.
Line Leadership: 2063 - 2097

K'Nesk zantai Reshtarc: 5th Lord, 2nd Dynasty :
 K'Nesk unlike his father was a Imperial Marine. He rose to the Rank of General and spent most of his time on Q'onos or in the field. K'Nesk was popular with the High Council unlike his father who earned their loathing. K'Nesk used his popularity to gain two favorable alliances with House Solazarn and House Kalamar in 2099.
  The Kelranni War brought him home in 2076 where he lead the Marine contingent of the invasion force. His brilliant tactical and strategic manuevers during the battle of Zinch plains is still studied at the academies. K'Nesk was also popular with both the Naval and Marine branches of the Family. He used this popularity to forge a close working relationship between the two branches within the line.
  K'Nesk provided the needed leadership and diplomatic savy the Line needed to protect its interests and to continue its expansion. In 2107 he was invited to proceed over the coronation of Emporer K'Temas. He was also awarded the Sword of the Empire. The sword was forged by the master swordsmith Kral, the blade was the personal weapon of the Emporer. Since then all Reshtarc officers carry a blade similar but not as finely crafted nor as perfect.
  K'Nesk had saved the Emporers life when he was a Navy Ensign and he was a Lt. of Marine shock troops aboard the IKV Cold Death. K'Temas never forgot this a rewarded his friend and ally accordingly. In 2112 K'Nesk helped House Solazarn by sending a relief force to aid in fighting incurssions by a race called the Jazihl.
  The 10 years war as this was called grew to Enormous size as the whole of the Empire was dragged in. Emporer K'Temas called for total victory or total defeat. In 2116 K'Nesk vessel was attacked and destroyed when the hull was breached by a Jazihl missile attack. With the death of K'Nesk the 2nd Dynasty ended in the vacuum of space.
Line Leadership: 2097 - 2116

Third Dynasty ( K'VeHk Dynasty): 2116 - 2135
 K'VeHk zantai Reshtarc: 6th Lord, 3rd Dynasty :
  K'VeHk a Reshtarc Captain was recalled to the Throne World of Behacor Prime. The news was not even three weeks old, and K'Nesk was dead and a new Leader was needed. Three opponents were vying for control of the line. K'VeHk defeated the three in physical combat under the watchful eyes of the arbitor of change.
  K'VeHk immediately ordered the Line Vessels of House Reshtarc to join the fleet massing near Gamma Eraidon System. The Klingon Navy had suffered a major defeat previously. The Emporer was nervous and feared disaster. Grand Admiral B'Ragh zantai Solazarn would command all available forces including the House Reserves . A force of over 200 warships was gathered and attacked the Jazihl near the star system.
  The result was a great victory for the Klingons and many houses benefited from it. K'VeHk employed the Kelranni of Line Reshtarc to great advantage. In 2020 K'VeHk returned back to Behacor Prime. He plunged his energy into developing and increasing the exsisting Reshtarc Industrial base which had been strained from the "Ten Years War".
  K'VeHk used the relative peace between 2126 - 2135 to study the teachings of of Kahless. In 2135 he stepped down from the line and chose to join the Clerics of Boreth. K'VeHk neither took a consort no adopted a child he did however tell the Arbitor of Change that the sword would decide the next "Epetai". Toward the end of his reign K'VeHk spoke often of a dream he had of Kahless and a future Reshtarc would encounter one another and bring about change in the Empire. K'VeHk died on Boreth in 2142. The Reshtarc showing proper respect performed the Sonchi ceremony.
Line Leadership: 2116 - 2135

Fourth Dynasty (K'Avaht Dynasty): 2135 - 2187
 K'Avaht sutai Reshtarc: 7th Lord, Fourth Dynasty:
  K'Avaht was a true warrior in a time when the Empire would require them. The Klingon Empires pace of expansion had doubled following the end of the "Ten Years War". This policy brought them in direct conflict with a race Known as the Romulans.
  K'Avaht claimed leadership of House Reshtarc by killing K'irpec Reshtarc in a sword duel before the ja'chug. This battle was provoked by K'Avaht who was the weaker of the two in terms of Line support. K'Avaht used the death of K'irpec as a exclamation as to who was the fittest to rule.
  The line under K'Avaht began to become more aggressive and less tolerant of weak allies. The Reshtarc continued to expand as the Empire did reaching to claim two more systems giving the Reshtarcs 28 M class Worlds . The Reshtarc Expansion was moving slowly westward. K'Vaht seeing the effect the alliance with the weakened House Kalamar was having on Reshtarc resources terminated the alliance in 2137.
  In 2138 K'Avaht sent three squadrons of Reshtarc vessels to attack and destroy House Kalamar. The crew was ordered to bring the Line Lord of Kalamar before him. K'Rdagh Kalamar was brought in chains to Behacor Prime and given a ultimatium, hand over his lands and titles to the Reshtarc or die.
  K'Rdagh refused and was given a blade, K'Avaht took the Sword of the Empire and in a battle of two skilled opponents, which lasted over a hour, resulted in the death of K'Rdagh. The Reshtarc then seized the Holdings and vessels which remained from House Kalamar. K'Avaht in a moment of mercy to the defeated house offered line membership to those who wished it.
  The defeated members in a show of Honor for their fallen Lord refused. K'Avaht enraged ordered all traces of House Kalamar erased, and the Entire line wiped out.
  The Emporer was incensed at the callous manner of this Klingon. He ordered K'Avaht to Q'onos to answer for the destruction of House Kalamar. K'Avaht came to the Homeworld armed and ready for battle, 63 Reshtarc warships supported him. K'Avaht ignored the Klingon law that only one family vessel was allowed into the Q'Onosian solar system.
  The Emporer hearing of the approaching fleet looked for support among the Houses of the High Council. None stepped forward to support him against the Reshtarc . K'Avahts message about weakness within the Empire had the effect he had wanted. The Solazarn were the first to greet their allies and K'Avaht immediately came before the Empire, his fleet waiting to destroy the Imperial City if he did not return.
  What K'Avaht said to the Emporer is not known what is known is that K'Avaht left the room with a smile and the Emporer trembled. The result of this meeting was not immediately apparent to most Lines but the power of the Emporers' was coming to an end.
  2165 marked a significant period in Klingon history, A klingon vessel on patrol near Kalvonos incountered a strange vessel. The Klingon ship hailed the vessel which returned the hail with disruptor fire. The Empire had met the Romulans.
  The "Four Years War" had begun. K'Avaht responded with a typical Klingon attitude. K'Avaht lead four Reshtarc squadrons into battle. For two years K'Avaht would lead these squadrons into battle his Reshtarc squadrons accounting for 56 enemy vessels destroyed and 27 captured. In 2167 K'Avaht returned to Behacor Prime suffering from Trazerian syndrome. K'Avaht chose his son K'Roj to lead the Line. K'Avaht was mated to Kehvehr of House Q'avagh.
Line Leadership: 2135 - 2167

K'roj vestai Reshtarc : 8th Lord, Fourth Dynasty:
 K'Roj was the older of the two sons of K'Avaht. His reign as joHwI' of the Reshtarc was short. K'Roj chose to stay on Behacor Prime while he sent his brother to command the four Reshtarc squadrons fighting the Romulans.
  While the choice proved to be a good one, K'Roj had broke Reshtarc tradition by remaining on Behacor. The decision did not sit well with many members of the House.
  The growing numbers of Reshtarc who voiced their opinions began to filter back to K'aLeH, K'Rojs' younger brother. K'Roj fearing a coup dispatched K'aLeH to a frontier squadron. K'Roj was unable to prevent the coming storm, In 2168 the "Black Fang" a organised cult of assassins which K'aLeH was a part met with the young Captain. The "Black Fang" persuaded K'aLeH to move against K'Roj.
  In 2169 , K'aLeH and his assassins attacked K'Roj in the throne room on Behacor Prime. The fight which resulted was bloody and over very quickly.
  K'Roj was killed by K'aLeH whose d'k tahg was found thrust into his brothers chest. K'Roj is remembered along with K'veth as the weakest Line Lords of the Reshtarc.
Line Leadership: 2167 -2169

K'aLeH sutai Reshtarc : 9th Lord, Fourth Dynasty :
 K'aLeH was a powerful leader whose strength was enhanced by his control of the assassin guilds. K'aLeH was often called "Assassin Lord". K'aLeH first duty was to organize the two assassin guilds into one Tong with himself as head.
  K'aLeH became as feared as the Tong. K'aLeh used the assassins to kill at least five Line Lords. While this provided the Reshtarc with many allies it also paved the way for K'aLeHs' death at the hands of a missed target.
  In 2170 K'aLeH rewarded Squadron Commander who lead the Reshtarc forces in the Romulan War with the right to petition the Emperer for his own House. In 2174 K'aLeH established a forward base near the Romulan border in preparation for a invasion which never materialised. The base did provide resupply and repair facilities for Klingon Raiding vessels returning from patrols inside Romulan space.
  In 2175 K'aLeH formalised a treaty of support with House Lorenssith the House which former Reshtarc had started. This alliance would last until 2238 when the Lorenssith allowed several Romulan/Klingon fusions into the House.
  In 2183 a rift developed between a growing House and the Reshtarc. The House Sho'saI had infinged upon territory which was claimed by House Reshtarc. K'aLeH sent the Tong after the House Lord M'qev sutai Sho'saI the attempt was a shambles. The Emporers Imperial Intelligence corp learned of it and the Emporer a Reshtarc opponent warned the Sho'saI.
  In 2187 while inspecting the forward base a squadron of Sho'saIvessels attacked K'aLehs' ship and in a ferocious volleys of disruptor fire which bracketed the vessel K'aLeH was killed. The ship was boarded by the Sho'saI but the captain managed to destruct the vessel earning himself and the crew a honorable death.
  The death K'aLeH would be avenged by the equally bloodthirsty Lord K'saHr epetai Reshtarc. The death of K'aLeH brought an end to the Fourth Dynasty and began the epic Fifth Dynasty. K'aLeH was responsible for several great works including the Iron Palace, Romulan War victory arch and many other works of architecture which remind the Reshtarc of their glorious past.
Line Leadership: 2169 - 2187

FIFTH DYNASTY (K'saHr Dynasty): 2187 - 2212
 K'saHr epetai Reshtarc 10th lord, Fifth Dynasty :
  K'saHr was preparing to retire from military life and become Governor of the Reshtarc world of Kotus. The news of the Sho'saI sneak attack and the death of K'aLeH convinced K'saHr to challenge for leadership of the House. K'aLeH had left no sons to rule the House and this provided K'saHr the golden oppurtunity to start his own Dynasty.
  K'saHr a retired admiral who had served throughout the four years war as the Captain of the "Swift Sword" had proven himself. He was a rising star in the Reshtarc military and eventually reached the coveted position of Admiral of the Raiding Fleet. He restructured the Fleet which gave him the support of more than two-thirds of the House Fleet.
  K'saHr faced no serious challenges to his goal of becoming House Reshtarcs next joHwI'. K'saHr first duty as House Lord was to punish the Sho'saI for their act of aggression. Sho'saI was not as weak as they appeared. The killing of K'aLeH had garnered them much favor. The Emporer, House's Drexa, Simparrii, and Juriss agreed to support Sho'saI. Although much of the support was covert arms and troops were provided.
  The Sho'saI with their new found allies struck immediately, although this rash act cost them the Simparrii and Juriss. The Emporer and Drexa reaffirmed their support. The Sho'saI chose to attack the Reshatrc in the Mempa Sector near the Irranii Expanse. K'saHr was aware of the Four SHo'saI squadrons moving toward Behacor Prime. The Reshtarc met the Sho'saI and crushed all four squadrons leaving 12 broken and twisted wrecks. Reshtarc losses were negligible.
  K'saHr prepared a counter strike which involved the use of six battle trained squadrons. K'saHr chose 3 seperate Sho'saI sectors and swept the token resistance away. Only two Sho'saI squadrons escaped to regroup near their Throne World. House Drexa fearing their allies overthrow shifted six of its untested squadrons to aid in the defense of the Sho'saI capitol.
  K'saHr now sprung his trap four more raider squadrons had used passage through Lorenssith space and came from behind the massed fleet. Furthermore, House Solazarn feeling that the Drexa had interfered in what was a Reshtarc and Sho'saI affair sent three squadrons to provide a reserve in case the Reshtarc required them.
  The battle of Calibos was a stunning victory and over forty enemy ships were destroyed, captured or damaged. The result of the battle had caused a long simmering feud between the Reshtarc and Drexa to boil over.
  In 2193 K'saHr over the Emporers protests was made Leader of the High Council. In 2194 House Reshtarc formerly absorbed the three of the five Sho'saI sectors giving the other two to its allies. The Reshtarc now possessed 52 habitable worlds and a powerful fleet to protect their assets.
  K'saHr ordered further expansion of the Mempa Project which had begun following the 10 Years War. By 2210 the Mempa Shipyards reached 31 slips and a host of repair sheds and other facilities. Behacor Prime Orbital Facility was expanded and a new Heavy Metals Fabrication Facility was erected on Hesperus 5.
  In 2212 following a meeting of the Council of Lords as the lords sat to dinner, K'saHr collapsed due to poisoned food. The poison was traced to a Drexa assasin and spelled further vengeance would be sought. K'saHr left no heir although it was well known who his predecessor would be.
Line Leadership 2187 - 2212

6TH DYNASTY (K'Ban Dynasty): 2212 - 2255
  K'Ban Zantai Reshtarc 11th Lord, Sixth Dynasty :
  K'Ban had been the Admiral in charge during the 2nd Battle of the Irrani Expanse and The Battle of Calibos. Upon taking command of the House he reaffirmed his predessors commitment to the destruction of House Drexa.
  In 2213 he launched a series of surgical strikes geared at destroying Drexa's growing Industrial Base. The weakened Drexa House fleet wwas ill equipped at preventing the Reshtarc from capturing the Dilithium mines at Kahlen and the Weapons facility on Archius Major. A third strike was prepared for early 2214 but the Emporer intervened.
  The status quo which had prevented a Reshtarc or Solazarn Emporer from gaining the Throne was threatened. The loss of the Drexa would place the Emporer in a precarious position. The Emporer moved quickly and forced a cessation of hostilities which provided the Drexa with enough time to blunt the third Reshtarc strike. The Reshtarc were not done they prepared to strike again, once more the Emporer intervened. To allow the Reshatrc a honorable way out of the sticky situation he allowed the Reshtarc to retain the captured systems. The Emporer also gave them Praxis, this move was to protect himself from their wrath.
  Hostilities lessened and almost ceased between the two Houses by 2215, although ocassional battles were fought between lone ships. The two Houses did not engage in open Warfare until 2239 following the Emporers death.
  During K'Bans rule a squadron of four Houses was sent into what is now Federation space. The squadron was composed of one vessel from each of the following Houses Reshtarc, Solazarn, Juriss, and Simparrii. Although 2218 is officially credited as the time Klingons and the Federation officially met, the Klingon squadron had already engaged and destroyed or captured several Federation ships.
  2218 marked the beginning of the Federation and Klingon war which lasted until 2224. The Klingon forces initially were successful but eventually were fought to a standstill and the lines stabilised over time.
  During the war K'Ban provided the Empire with over 100 vessels including the new d'-5's and d-6 cruisers. K'Ban ordered the House on a full war footing in 2220 as the conflaguration dragged on. The result was doubling of Reshtarc Industries by 2224 and production was tripled in 2227. By 2229 House Reshatrc was able to recoup its losses in Vessels and still produce a sizable amount for the Empire.
  Trained crews were a different story as early as 2225 K'Ban ordered that all vessels not currently serving in the Imperial Navy would be rotated out to the Raider Fleet which would operate behind Romulan and Federation Lines as well as in the Triangle. The training schedule allowed the Reshtarc and many Houses to have trained crews who were then dispersed among newer crews by 2233 the fleet was well on its way to recovery.
  In 2237 the Empire was struck by a plague which spread rapidly killing or maiming 2 in every 6 Imperial Klingons. K'Lias returned from the frontier where he had been training Raiding vessels and took over for his dead father.  Line Leadership : 2212 - 2237

K'Lias sutai Reshtarc 12th Lord, Sixth Dynasty :
  K'Lias inherited a line suffering along with the rest of the Empire. The plague had decimated the Military as well as the civilian population. In 2238 The Emporer ordered the Fusion program started. K'Lias oppossed this move, the Emporer, was supported by his allies. The Drexa, Jurriss, Subaiesh, Dok'marr, Simparri and Pallara stood behind the Emporer.
  Standing Oppossed were the Solazarn, Hurric, Reshtarc and others. The council voted to start the project, Emporer K'Gmog imposed a Imperial edict on top of the Councils decision.
  In 2239 the Emporer died from the Plague and the Council was ripped in two Those who supported the Fusions on one side and those who oppossed on the other. No new Emporer came forward and the Empire began to split into two warring factions. The Imperial Houses still held a powerful majority since they had not suffered as much as the Fusion houses during the Plague.
  The plague had forced previously strong Houses to adopt fusions into their ranks to keep power. Drexa had lost 75 - 85% of its line and needed to augment it deterioating line.
  In 2240 K'Lias reduced the amount of Reshtarc vessels being sent to serve in the Imperial Navy to about 20% of the House total. The Reshtarc totals for the year 2240 was roughly 225 vessels of that total 45 were serving the Imperial Navy , 65 were carrying out Raider activity and the rest were defending Reshtarc space.
  K'Lias also limited raider activity to 150,000 Kellicams of the Imperial Borders. In 2253 a new threat arose from the Coreward sector of the Empire, a Klingon vessel studying a wormhole was attacked and heavily damaged by huge black orbs. The vessel a House Mortath cruiser sent a distress signal which was recieved and a Klingon Battlegroup was dispatched.
  The enemy was a race from the wormhole called Kinshaya and were violent expansionists much like the Klingons. The Klingon Battlegroup of 25 assorted vessels was defeated. The Empire quickly shifted its resources to meet this new threat. In 2254 the war a year old K'Lias ordered 125 Reshtarc vessels to fight the powerful Kinshaya.
  The Imperial Borders with the Federation and Romulan Empire were now predominantly patrolled by fusions. The Long Kinshaya War drained the Imperial Houses even further. Many of the open Houses suffered such losses which coupled with the Plague left them completely helpless and the Fusions seized the Lines.
  House Drexa once wholly Imperial and then a open House became a Closed Fusion House made up of the Human/ Klingon fusions. Simparri and others stayed open but also suffered accordingly. By 2277 many of the original Houses were gone.
  K'Lias lead the Reshtarc contingents into many of the battles with the enemy called "Demons" by the Klingons. In 2255 K'Lias lead three Reshtarc squadrons into battle near Andoma 4, the Kinshaya outnumbered the Reshtarc squadron by at least a 3:1 margin.
  The squadron was severly mauled by the Kinshaya, although the action delayed the Kinshaya until the Fleet could mass and counterattack. K'Lias stayed behind in his D'6 Cruiser "Stormbringer" to allow two of his heavily damaged ships to escape. The "Stormbringer" continued to fire until it was overwhelmed by the Kinshaya.
  K'Lias last order was to ram one of the Kinshaya vessels the D'6 turned and headed toward its final battle. The remanants of the "Stormbringer" were recovered and brought back to Behacor Prime. Peices of this famous vessel now are placed into every new Reshtarc vessel.
Line Leadership : 2237 - 2255

Seventh Dynasty (K'Lagh Dynasty): 2255 - 2373
K'Lagh zantai Reshtarc 13th Lord,Seventh Dynasty :
  K'Lagh lead the House through the remainder of the Kinshaya Wars. Following that bloody conflict the Reshtarc used the heavy losses to many of the prominent Houses to catapult themselves into the leadership of the "Imperial Faction".
  K'Lagh used his influence to rebuild the Imperial Fleet and start a major rearmament program for the Empire. The program aptly entitled "K'Laghs' Fist" was begun in 2259. By 2262 the new D'7 Battle cruisers were being incorporated into the Klingon Fleet. K'Lagh assumed Leadership of the High Council in 2259 which corresponded with the military buildup.
  K'Lagh advocated continued war against the Federation and was supported in part by the High Council. K'Lagh in a attempt to stop a fusion takeover in the Empire began to funnel the best equipment and men to the closed Imperial Houses.
  Open and Closed Fusion Houses like Drexa, Simparri, and others suffered with older equipment. K'Lagh renewed alliances with House Solazarn, Hurric and other "Imperial" Houses. The Fusion Houses also began to band together and to form alliances as well.
  The pressure to form these alliances was a direct result of the Treaty of Organia (2267). The Imperial High Council blamed the Fusion element for this setback in Klingon expansion and further fueled the already seething emotions in the Empire. 2267 also marked the signing of the Romulan / Klingon Military Assistance Treaty. Both the Klingon Empire and the Romulans feared the growing strength of the Federation.
  K'Lagh was well aware of the slipping of Imperial strength and growing fusion power in the Empire. The strain of the Plague, Federation war and Kinshaya wars has drained imperial power to the point of parity with the Fusions.
  In 2279 K'Lagh turns over power of the Line to his adopted son Kullor. K'Lagh was the last of the strong Reshtarc Leaders until 2370, He is also the last Reshtarc to be Leader of the High Council.
Line Leadership : 2255 - 2279

Kullor epetai Reshtarc 14th Lord, Seventh Dynasty :
  Kullor the adopted son of K'Lagh lead the House for roughly eight years. During Kullors reign the Reshtarc continued to push for war with the Federation.
  The Organions were apparently not going to stop the Federation and Klingons from destroying one another. Other forces were at work to prevent a war however. In 2283 Kullor sealed all Reshtarc territories and defended them at the point of the Sword.
  In 2285 Gorkon a peace seeking Fusion gained the post of Chancellor and began to seek out peace with the Federation. Kullor who had abstained from the council session began to plan for a Komerex wide civil war which would decide the future of the Empire.
  Reshtarc Industries and allied House began to stop all shipments of arms to houses outside of their circle. This violated Klingon Law implemented by Gorkon in 2286. Gorkon lacked signifcant forces to back this law since many Imperial Houses had withdrawn all their vessels from the Imperial Navy (2285).
  The planned revolt was set to begin in 2300 at which time the Imperial Houses would have vastly numerical strength in war material. In late 2286 at the urging of Kullor and others the Imperial factions formerly withdrew from the Council of Lords. Gorkon tried in vain to end the growing threat however Imperial response to his pleas was non-exsistant.
  In 2287 Kullor was killed in a warp breech during manuevers at Belial 3 gunnery range. The Imperials believed this to be the result of Gorkons plotting and further resolved the Imperial Houses to fight and destroy all Fusions in the Empire.
Line Leadership : 2279 - 2287

K'Baal sutai Reshtarc : 14th Lord, Seventh Dynasty :
  K'Baal would lead the line with deft political manuevers and foresight in the end it would be K'Baal who would ultimately lay the seeds for the Reshtarc reemergance to power.
  K'Baal continued with his fathers plans establishing several new bases for the war faction. Militarily and Economically the Reshtarc and their allies were stronger than they had ever been.
  By 2292 Gorkon was well aware of the buildup and its intent and purpose, already the war faction had rendered two of his cheif supporters ineffectual the Subaiesh and Pallara. In two major battles in 2291 the War faction had engaged and damaged the two Houses so severly that they were on the Brink of collapse.
  In 2293 the war faction was joined by two "Open Houses" the Dok'Marr and Juriss. Both were oppossed to Gorkons peace iniative. Then a event happened which would change the Empire forever. Praxis exploded, although the official reason was overmining of Dilithium the truth was far different.
  Fusion peace dissadents placed a plasma bomb in one of many Mining Facilities on Praxis. The resulting explosion caused severe damage to the Moon and threatened the Homeworld. Gorkon used this event as a example of too much military expenditure and too little control.
  In late 2293 following the events surrounding the Khitomer Accords K'Baal agreed to begin dismantling the war faction. In return those Houses would be allowed to retain all land and titles.
  In 2294 K'Baal and the Reshtarc gave up their seat on the High Council and sealed their borders to everyone, and waited to see what would develop. Earlier, in 2290 the war faction had dispatched several deep attack vessels. The mission of these vessels were to carry out raiding deep inside enemy territory. K'Baals' oldest son K'Paal the future leader of the Reshtarc was aboard one such vessel.
  The period of peace allowed the Reshatrc to develop technology and a private fleet in secret. In 2299 K'Baal took a K'T'inga class cruiser and five hundred line members and entered the Kinshaya Wormhole. He turned the line over to his son Korek.
Line Leadership : 2287 - 2299

Korek vestai Reshtarc 16th Lord, Seventh Dynasty :
  Korek continued expanding Reshtarc self sufficiency. His primary acheivement was to develop the existing resources in both agriculture and to restructure the Reshatrc Military.
  Korek developed secret political ties with K'Mpec a young Klingon who was growing in power. Roughly around the Romulan sneak attack at Nalendra 3 in 2344. Korek used this as provocation to begin reestablishing Reshatrc influence in many of the minor Houses in the Empire.
  In 2345 Korek lead a Reshatrc Raiding squadron in battle against Cardassian forces at Kaldin'Sa he was subsequently killed.
Line Leadership : 2299 - 2345

K'NoraK vestai Reshtarc 17th Lord, Seventh Dynasty :
  K'NoraK ruled the line in virtual ananomity although his reign would be twenty years in length. K'NoraK is remembered more for several disaterous events then for his Leadership qualities.
  The explosion at Behacor Prime Orbital Faclity in 2364 and a unsuccessful revolt on the Reshtarc world of Cathis. K'NoraK was a excellent administrator but lacked much charisma.
  K'NoraK was killed by his son K'Veth in 2365, while they ate dinner. K'NoraK implemented several new programs within the Reshatrc family and revived many of the old traditions.
Line Leadership : 2345 - 2365

K'Veth sutai Reshtarc 18th Lord, Seventh Dynasty :
  K'Veth the despised as he is known for his complicity in murdering his father and fragmentation within the House appears. In 2368 the Duras attempt to seize power. K'Veth responds by ordering the House forces to remain neutral.
  This almost costs the Reshatrc the heart of the Reshatrc House, the Mempa Sector. However K'Paal tai Reshtarc challenges his authority and joins in supporting Gowron against the Duras.
  K'Paal is rewarded with the support of almost three quarters of the line. 2370 marks the beginning of the Reshtarc internal war which results in the end of K'Veth and Three Thousand of his most loyal followers.
  K'Veth is killed when his ship is attacked and destroyed by the "Stormbringer" while trying to reach Romulan space.
Line Leadership : 2365 - 2370

K'Paal zantai Reshtarc 19th lord, Seventh Dynasty :
  K'Paal is highly regarded among the Reshtarc. K'paal has reestablished the House as a formidable power within the Empire. In 2371 he orders the realignment of Reshatrc industries under a new aegis Reshatrc Combined Arms.
  He also regains the family seat back on the High Council, furthermore in 2071 he sends forces to aid in ridding House Lorensstih of its Fusions. K'Paal is instrumental ratifying the Mempa Treaty a alliance between the Gholjub, Lorenssith and Reshtarc.
  K'Paal is considerec to be a tempremental and sometimes volatile leader who takes any attack on the House personally. K'Paal has gone to great lengths to bring an end to the Khitomer Accords. This goal was acheived in late 2071 when Federation spies are captured in Klingon space. Gowron agrees to invade Cardassia in late 2071 and withdrawls from the Khitomer Accords when the Federation does not support the invasion.
  In 2072 six months after the invasion K'Paal orders the Reva 4 rebellion put down. Lorrenssith, Gholjub and Reshtarc forces under K'Paal kill over 50,000 Cardassian and Eldrun dissadents.
  K'Paal has recently disagreed with both Kahless and Gowron on the point of the Federation. However, certain events have somewhat shorn up Gowrons and the Reshtarc relationship.
Line Leadership : 2370-2373

Eighth Dynasty (Marrik Dynasty): 2373 - Present
Marrik epitai-Reshtarc, 20th Lord, Eighth Dynasty
 Marrik assumed command following a bloody revolt by the Line Marine Forces, with their small number of Naval Allies. Marrik and his followers fought and drove off Capt.K'joH and his renegades during a battle in the Kodus System, thus innsuring there were no others strong enough to stop his challenge against K'Paal.
  Marrik and his forces, most notably a former boqdu', Captain Korvette, Marine Senior Officers M'Tov, M'Pak, may'qel and several navy squadron commanders, gathered their troops and fleet and began to launch an attack. The most notable battles occured in the Kodus System and a clandestine raid which lent to capture K'Paal and install Marrik as Linelord.
 Marrik has solidified his powerbase with new alliances and allies, suplanting several key officials with more loyal officers and friends.
  Sweeping changes in the Empire have left many of the more traditional minded lords in the past, and Marrik plans to lead the Line into a new imperial future, and has shown his loyalty to the Empire by swearing allegiances to the High Council and the Emperor.
