Korath in 2404
Korath was a noted Klingon scientist. In an alternate timeline's 2404, Korath had successfully developed a prototype chrono deflector.
Upon learning of the technology, Admiral Kathryn Janeway sought the deflector for her mission to alter the timeline and return USS Voyager home in 2378. To acquire the technology, Janeway applied pressure to get Korath a seat on the Klingon High Council in exchange for the deflector. Korath, however, attempted to alter the deal, to gain access to the Federation's shield generator technology. As a result, Janeway stole the deflector, causing Korath to pledge vengeance against her for the theft. (VOY: "Endgame")
- Korath was played by Star Trek veteran Vaughn Armstrong.
Apocrypha
Korath first appeared in the Star Trek: The Experience attraction, also played by Armstrong. According to LCARS data that flashes across one of the workstations on the bridge of the Enterprise, Korath is from the House of Monak and is the captain of the ISS [sic] Boreth, a B'rel-class Bird-of-Prey. He achieved command following the assassination of an individual named K'holt. He was recognized for his part in the Battle of Khitomer, earning the Sword of Honor and the Kahless Medal. Korath developed a deep hatred of Captain Jean-Luc Picard back in his days as a cadet in the Klingon Imperial Corps after coming in a close second to then-ensign Picard while competing in the Federation "Outreach Games." News reports indicated that Picard attempted to congratulate Korath after the awards ceremony, only to have Korath spit in his hand and swear vengeance for "the dishonor before the entire galaxy." While none of this is explained during the attraction, Korath's plot for revenge is the focus of the story. Using a cloaked temporal distortion, Korath attempted to abduct a group of early 21st century Humans into the 24th century. One of these Humans was Picard's ancestor, and Korath had planned to erase Picard from the timeline. Korath's plan, however, was disrupted when the USS Enterprise-D, acting on information from Federation Intelligence, intercepted his transporter beam, and returned the 21st century Humans to their own time in a shuttlecraft. Korath's ship was destroyed by the Enterprise in the skies over Las Vegas after both vessels followed the shuttlecraft back in time.
