Description
Krios.
Class-M planet in the Kriosian system, controlled by the Klingon Empire. In 2367,
Captain Picard and Klingon Ambassador Kell met with Klingon Governor Vagh at Krios,
following a Kriosian revolt that the Klingons believed had been supported by the
Federation (The Mind's Eye -TNG). The inhabitants of Krios had been at war with the
neighboring system, Valt Minor, for centuries. Krios was named for one of two
brothers who, centuries ago, shared the rule of a vast empire in space. Krios and
his brother, Valt, both fellin love with a woman named Garuth, but Krios kidnapped her and
took her to the star system what would later bear his name. War erupted between Valt
Minor and Krios. In 2368, a historic Ceremony of Reconciliation was held in hopes of
ending the centuries of conflict (The Perfect Mate -TNG).
