The death of Ambassador Dak'Rah, son of Ra’ul in September 2260 represented a significant shift in the diplomatic front of the early Klingon Cold War. Dak'Rah – a General in the Imperial Army from a middling aristocratic family – had led the ground campaign on J’Gal Minor. The eight month siege of the planet and it’s mixed Federation-Klingon settlements killed over 23,000 personnel and 58,000 civilians. Nearly 85% of the planet’s civilian population was killed, evacuated or went missing before Starfleet lifted the siege and evacuated the planet in February 2257. Many died under direct orders from Dak'Rah, though these orders would not be confirmed until the early 2290s.
