Synopsis
To Worf's surprise, he is paid a visit by Kor, an aging Klingon war hero. Kor admits that his ambition has earned him countless enemies, and that consequently he has been unable to secure the command of a ship. Worf promises to find him a miltary command, and approaches General Martok with the request—which is angrily refused. Martok explains that years earlier Kor had denied Martok officer status because he was descended from a common house. Undaunted, Worf appoints Kor as a third officer on the Ch'Tang, Martok's flagship, where he is treated with awe by the crew—much to Martok's chagrin.

- The Klingons refer to Kor as The Dahar Master.
- Martok received a battlefield commission while serving as a civilian on a Klingon ship.
- The IKS Ch'Tang is leading an attack on the Dominion/Cardassian base at Trelka V. In the heat of the battle, Kor believes that they are attacking the Federation outpost on Caleb IV.
- The Dominion has a new long-range tachyon scanning device that can see cloaked ships.
- The Federation must have re-taken the Kalandra system (see notes for "Afterimage") because the Defiant is waiting for the Ch'Tang there.
- Kor takes command of the IKS Ning'Tao. The Ning'Tao is destroyed by the Jem'Hadar, but it is able to hold off the fleet until the Ch'Tang reaches the Defiant.
- Kor was last seen in "The Sword Of Kahless".
- The title is a quote from Shakespeare's "Henry V."
