History
For at least 300 years prior to the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation the Klingon Empire had been ruled by the High Council. The various High Councils during this time had to deal with monumental events in the history of the Klingon race and the galaxy at large, such as first contact with the humans, years of armed conflict with the Federation, the explosion of Praxis, the Federation alliance, and the Dominion War.
