Kargh, Son of Korogh was a Klingon of House Mo'Kai[1], a member of the Klingon Defense Force and captain of the IKS Dark Destroyer. In 22681 he sent his vessel into neutral space near planet Babel and gave chase to Enterprise shuttlecraft Archer in an attempt to kill ambassador Rayna Morgan. His attempt failed and he left the system however subsequently when the Enterprise sent a distress signal Kargh responded with good intentions. With his help they were able to expose a plot by a failing Federation colony in the Esterian system to ignite a war with the Klingon Empire. (Star Trek: New Voyages: "To Serve All My Days")

Kargh had attacked the Enterprise in 2268. He later arrived at the USS Copernicus where the Enterprise was carrying out a rescue mission. Kargh was angered by the Federation's experiments with Regulan bloodworms; the creatures could have killed the whole population of the galaxy yet the Federation called the Klingons warmongers. (Star Trek: New Voyages: "Blood and Fire, Part 1", "Blood and Fire, Part 2")

Kargh was Captain Kirk's contact when the captain resolved a crisis on Quo'Nos surrounding the Kitumba. (Star Trek: New Voyages: "Kitumba")

Kargh died in 2272 when, while commanding the IKS Amar the V'Ger probe destroyed the ship and two others.2

He and his father are both descended from Klingons who were affected by the Klingon augment virus.

The Doomsday War[]

In an alternate timeline where the USS Enterprise had been destroyed by a Doomsday Machine in 2254, the signing of the HoH'egh Accord united the Federation and the Klingon Empire in a mutual self-preservation pact[1]. Kargh was assigned as science officer of the USS Farragut in 2264.

In 2268 the Farragut was sent to Gateway where they learned of the changes in the timeline. They used the Guardian of Forever to travel back through time and successfully corrected history; thus, Kargh never served on the starship. (Star Trek: Phase II: "In Harm's Way")
