The '''House of Duras''' is one of the [[Great House]]s in the [[Klingon Empire]]. [[Ja'rod]], the leader of the House, has aligned himself with the [[House of J'mpok]]. ==History== * {{mAlpha|2153}}: ** {{mAlpha|Duras, son of Toral}}, is dishonored by [[Starfleet]] Captain [[Jonathan Archer]] after losing a battle to Archer's starship, the [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']]. As punishment, he is reduced in rank from captain to second weapons officer and assigned to the Ty'Gokor defense perimeter. ** He was later given command of a {{mAlpha|Klingon Bird-of-Prey (22nd century)|Bird-of-Prey}} and sent to apprehend Archer, now a fugitive, in a chance to regain his honor. Despite his best efforts, Duras failed his mission and died when his ship was destroyed on the border of the {{mAlpha|Delphic Expanse}}. * [[2265]]: ** The [[House of B'vat]] is in the middle of a blood feud with the House of Duras following the death of [[B'vat]]'s brother due to "Duras treachery". * {{mAlpha|2346}}: **{{mAlpha|Ja'rod}} betrays his people to the [[Romulan Star Empire]] by providing them with the codes to lower the defenses protecting the Klingon colony on [[Khitomer]]. Ironically, Ja'rod was among those killed in the ensuing massacre. * {{mAlpha|2366}}: ** New evidence reveals Ja'rod's guilt; however by then Ja'rod's son {{mAlpha|Duras, son of Ja'rod|Duras}} has become an influential figure in the Empire and exposing Ja'rod's crime would dishonor Duras and possible trigger civil war. At Duras' suggestion, [[Chancellor]] {{mAlpha|K'mpec}} chooses instead to frame {{mAlpha|Mogh}} (who also died at Khitomer) and discommendate his son [[Worf]]. * {{mAlpha|2367}}: ** Following K'mpec's death, Duras seeks to become Chancellor. However, after he murders {{mAlpha|K'Ehleyr}} Worf seeks vengeance and slays him. {{mAlpha|Gowron}} becomes Chancellor instead. The House of Duras is left without a legitimate heir. * {{mAlpha|2368}}: ** Several months later Duras' sisters {{mAlpha|Lursa}} and {{mAlpha|B'Etor}} reveal that Duras has a son, {{mAlpha|Toral, son of Duras|Toral}}, and Toral has inherited his father's claim for the position of Chancellor. Secretly supported by [[Sela]] and the Romulan Empire, they begin attacking Klingon ships and bases loyal to Gowron, triggering a {{mAlpha|Klingon Civil War|civil war}}. The crew of the [[U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|U.S.S. ''Enterprise''-D]] is eventually able to expose the Romulans' involvement, forcing them to withdraw their support and leaving the House of Duras helpless against Gowron's forces. Lursa and B'Etor escape aboard a [[Klingon Bird-of-Prey (Mob)|Bird-of-Prey]]; Toral is arrested but eventually released due to the fact that he had been little more than a pawn of his aunts'. * {{mAlpha|2371}}: ** At some point prior to this year, Lursa gave birth to a son, [[Ja'rod]]. ** Lursa and B'Etor begin working with [[El-Aurian]] scientist {{mAlpha|Tolian Soran|Dr. Tolian Soran}}, stealing trilithium from the Romulans in order to assist him in the development of a superweapon with which to re-conquer the Klingon Empire. They attempt to destroy the ''Enterprise''-D in the {{mAlpha|Veridian System}}, but the ''Enterprise'' manages to exploit a flaw in their ship's design and destroy their Bird-of-Prey. Following their deaths, Ja'rod is adopted into the [[House of Torg]]. * [[2372]]: ** The famed {{MAlpha|Sword of Kahless}} is rediscovered in the [[Gamma Quadrant]] and Toral learns of its location. However, his plans to take over the Klingon Empire with it are thwarted by Worf and {{MAlpha|Kor}}, who jettison the sword into space. * [[2392]]: ** Ja'rod, along with [[Torg]] and the rest of his House, openly support [[J'mpok]] over [[Martok|Chancellor Martok]]. Ja'rod also survives a [[Gorn Hegemony|Gorn]] attack on [[Ogat]] and later enlists in the [[Klingon Defense Force]]. * [[2395]]: ** While on shore leave on [[Rha'darus]], Ja'rod - now an officer on the {{IKS|Kang}} - is ambushed by three Klingon warriors who turn out to be [[Undine]] agents hoping to remove and replace him. Under questioning, the lone surviving Undine reveals that its people have infiltrated every major power in the quadrant. * [[2396]]: ** When Captain [[Klor]] of the ''Kang'' refuses to fully investigate the claims of the Undine they captured, Ja'rod leads an uprising of the crew. Klor and his first officer are executed, and Ja'rod becomes the new captain. After sending a coded message to [[Qo'nos]], the ''Kang'' cloaks. J'mpok, now Chancellor of the High Council, does little to locate Ja'rod, possibly in an attempt to curry favor from the Houses of Torg and Duras. * [[2397]]: ** The ''Kang'' de-cloaks long enough for Ja'rod to announce that he is assuming charge of the House of Duras, and that he is formally allying himself with J'mpok. The ''Kang'' cloaks again, but is suspected to be in the vicinity of the Klingon/Gorn border. * [[2399]]: ** The ''Kang'' returns to Qo'noS, along with proof that the leaders of the Gorn Hegemony have been replaced by Undine infiltrators. The following day, J'mpok declares war against the Hegemony. * [[2403]]: ** The Hegemony falls to the Klingon Empire. For his part in exposing the Undine threat, Ja'rod is offered a seat on the High Council. He declines, saying: ''"Until I have fully proven my worth to the Empire, I do not deserve to be in your number. I will return to Qo'noS as a hero, or not at all."'' ==Missions involved== * {{mission|Turning Point||ROM}}: Ja'rod commands the {{IKS|Kang}} in the [[Khitomer System]], aiding [[Romulan Republic]] players in repelling a [[Tal Shiar]] incursion. * {{mission|Spin the Wheel||ALL}}: [[Ze'mara]] notes that Ja'rod of the House of Duras is very troubled following Torg's discommendation. * {{mission|Night of the Comet||ALL}}: The player's ship is disguised as a Klingon ship from the House of Duras for its mission to the past. * {{mission|Mine Enemy||ALL}}: [[Tal Shiar]] intelligence shows that surviving members of the discredited [[House of Torg]] have been absorbed into the House of Duras. *{{mission|The Centre Cannot Hold||ALL}}: Ja'rod represents his house during [[J'Ula]]'s meeting with the Klingon High Council and can be consulted. *{{mission|The Khitomer Discord||ALL}}: After J'mpok launched a mycelial weapon on [[Khitomer]], he sends Ja'rod (who Martok describes as 'loyal, but expendable') to lead Klingon forces to engage the player, [[Martok]], J'Ula and [[Adet'pa]]. During the battle, Martok calls out Ja'rod's habit of choosing the wrong allies and he is ultimately defeated. ==Missions formerly involved== * {{mission|Saturday's Child}}: Ja'rod seeks to win the loyalty of the [[Aelasan]]s to gain access to their topaline. * {{mission|The Tribble with Klingons}}: Ja'rod and the ''Kang'' have been assigned to eradicate the [[tribble]]s in the [[Minos Korva System]]. ==House members== ===Current=== * [[Wek]] - Officer on [[Borg Invasion of Defera|Defera Prime]] ===Former=== * {{mAlpha|Toral}} * {{mAlpha|Duras, son of Toral}} (died in {{mAlpha|2153}}) * {{mAlpha|Ja'rod}} (died in {{mAlpha|2346}}) * {{mAlpha|Duras, son of Ja'rod}} (died in {{mAlpha|2367}}) * {{mAlpha|Lursa|Lursa, daughter of Ja'rod}} (died in {{mAlpha|2371}}) * {{mAlpha|B'Etor|B'Etor, daughter of Ja'rod}} (died in {{mAlpha|2371}}) * {{mAlpha|Toral, son of Duras}} (missing since [[2398]]) *[[Ja'rod|Ja'rod, son of Lursa]] (died in [[2411]]) ==Notes== * Members of the House of Duras made frequent appearances in the various ''Star Trek'' series and movies. ==External link== {{MA Link}} {{factionnav/Klingon}} [[Category:Klingon Empire]] [[Category:Institutions]] [[Category:Great Houses]] [[Category:House of Duras|*]]
