Order of the Bat'leth

The Order of the Bat'leth

The Order of the Bat'leth is an exclusive Klingon order of warriors who have distinguished themselves in battle. New members are added yearly in a ceremony conducted by the Klingon chancellor. To be inducted into the order is the highest honour a Klingon warrior can receive. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")

In 2271, Ki'TaQ was awarded the Order of the Bat'leth for heroic actions in the Battle of Klach D'kel Brakt, in preventing the deployment of a Romulan bio weapon and finding the cure of the Klingon Augmentation Virus. (Star Trek Online: The Battle of Klach D'kel Brakt).

In 2498, Logan MacLeod was posthumously inducted into the Order of the Bat'leth for the heroic sacrifice of his life to stop a Flaxian assassin at the 2498 Khitomer conference. This marked the first known instance in which both a non-Klingon was inducted and that someone was inducted posthumously. (Star Trek: Prometheus)
