The Klingon Defense Forces (sometimes referred to as the Imperial Klingon Defense Forces) were the military branch of the Klingon Empire.
History
As of 2373, the headquarters of the Klingon Defense Forces were relocated to Ty'Gokor. The majority of Defense Force members were common warriors. In order to become an officer, a candidate was required to pass the entrance exam. The prospective officer then needed to be approved by an oversight council who could reject the application. Officers usually served on the Klingon Empire's ships and warriors were sent into battle, whether on planetary assaults or when boarding other vessels. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising", "Once More Unto the Breach")
The system of hierarchy aboard ships within the Defense Forces was highly structured. According to one of their systems, one that operated successfully for centuries, the first officer of any Klingon vessel had the duty to assassinate his captain when and if the captain became weak or unable to perform. It was expected that his honorable retirement should be assisted by his "first". The second officer also shared similar duties with his "first". (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor"; DS9: "Soldiers of the Empire")
The Defense Forces were capable of deploying a fleet of ships to devastate the surface of an entire planet. They did so on several occasions, including the successful destruction of the tribble homeworld in the late 23rd century. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
It was against regulations to have alcohol on the bridge, although this likely referred to any duty station while working one's shift.(DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
