Azetbur (tlhIngan Hol: 'atlhetbur) was the daughter of Gorkon, the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council in 2293.

In that year, Gorkon was assassinated as part of a conspiracy to sabotage peace talks between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets, and Azetbur was subsequently elevated to the position of Chancellor. In that capacity, Azetbur carried on her father's attempts at peace, and attended a peace conference at Camp Khitomer. There, Azetbur was present for the attempted assassination of the Federation President by members of the conspiracy, an assassination prevented by James Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise. At the conclusion of the crisis, having witnessed Captain Kirk's defense of peace in spite of his earlier prejudices towards Klingons, she told him, "you've restored my father's faith," to which Kirk replied, "and you've restored my son's," referring to David Marcus, who was murdered by Klingons.

Appendices

Apocrypha

  • The Star Trek VI novelization stated that Gorkon expected something to happen to him and therefore used his influence to see that the Council would indeed install Azetbur as chancellor. Also in the novel, Azetbur and Brigadier Kerla are lovers, a romantic attachment briefly disrupted when she suspects him of complicity in her father's death.
  • The novel Serpents Among the Ruins showed Azetbur's assassination and the new chancellor forbade women on the Council at that point.

Background information

  • StarTrek.com spells her name as both "Aztbur" and "Azetbur".
