K'Temang

Klingon commander killed by Dukat's ruse

The Klingon commander of a bird-of-prey that destroys the Cardassian outpost at Korma in 2372 and is then captured by Dukat and Kira through a transporter exchange.

K'Temang is a Klingon officer who appears in the fourth-season Deep Space Nine episode Return to Grace. His bird-of-prey wipes out the outpost where Dukat, demoted to command of the freighter Groumall, was taking Kira to a conference. He disdains even to fire on the freighter, judging it unworthy of attention.
Dukat and Kira arm the Groumall with a planetary defence weapon and lure the Klingons back with a false cargo signal. When the bird-of-prey lowers its shields to beam the cargo over, the two crews are swapped by transporter.
K'Temang and his men find themselves aboard the freighter, which Dukat then destroys, over Kira's objection. Dukat keeps the captured ship to wage his own war.
