| - Sto'vo'kor was the Klingon afterlife, where all honored warriors went to fight the eternal battle against their enemies. A Klingon could get into Sto'vo'kor by doing a heroic deed or dying with honor on the battlefield. The relative and friends of the deceased could also ensure their place in Sto'vo'kor by completing such a deed in the name of the deceased.

- Sto-vo-kor (or Sto'Vo'Kor) was, in Klingon mythology, the afterlife for the honored dead, where all true warriors went after they died to fight an eternal battle against great enemies. The halls of Sto-vo-kor were said to be guarded by Kahless the Unforgettable. The dishonored dead, by contrast, were ferried on the Barge of the Dead to Gre'thor. According to the ancient tradition of ak'voh, whenever a warrior died in battle, others stayed with the body to keep away predators, allowing the spirit to leave the body and go to Sto-Vo-Kor. (DS9: "The Ship")
- In Sto-vo-kor, both the combat and mating is both equally non-stop and violent, Romulans are served on the grill every night, and targ fucking is completely legal. Kahless the Unforgettable rules this place, but he's usually too busy with paperwork to get to much of the fun stuff. Sometimes a lot of the dead warriors launch assaults on the human afterlife, but Jesus always kicks their ass and sends them packing. Thor and Vishnu once proposed launching a counterattack on Sto-vo-kor, but this was vetoed by Moses.
- In Klingon mythology, Sto-vo-kor is the afterlife of the wanted dead, where all worthy warriors go after they die to fight an eternal battle against great enemies. (TNG episode: "Rightful Heir", DS9 episode: "The Sword of Kahless") A Klingon would be deemed to be worthy to enter sto-vo-kor by dying in battle or by performing an heroic deed. Entry into sto-vo-kor would also occur if an individual allowed themselves to be killed by another Klingon. (DS9 episode: "Children of Time")
- Dans la mythologie klingonne, le Sto-vo-kor (ou Sto'Vo'Kor) est l'endroit où sont envoyés les âmes des Kligons honorés, où ils combattront une bataille éternelle contre de grands ennemis. Il est raconté que les halls de Sto-vo-kor sont gardées par Kahless l'Inoubliable. D'après la tradition de l'ak'voh, lorsqu'un guerrier meurt sur le champ de bataille, les autres restent avec le corps pour éloigner les prédateurs, permettant à l'esprit du mort de quitter son corps et de s'en aller au Sto-Vo-Kor.

He stated the ensuing celestial conflagragation would have been "glorious".
- Sto-vo-kor (or Sto'Vo'Kor) was, in Klingon mythology, the afterlife for the honored dead, where all true warriors went after they died to fight an eternal battle against great enemies. The halls of Sto-vo-kor were said to be guarded by Kahless the Unforgettable. The dishonored dead, by contrast, were ferried on the Barge of the Dead to Gre'thor. According to the ancient tradition of ak'voh, whenever a warrior died in battle, others stayed with the body to keep away predators, allowing the spirit to leave the body and go to Sto-Vo-Kor. (DS9: "The Ship") Klingons could enter Sto-vo-kor by dying in battle or while performing a heroic deed. In addition, they could enter Sto-Vo-kor by allowing themselves to be killed by another Klingon. (DS9: "Children of Time", "Covenant") Alternatively, in the event of a warrior dying as the result of a surprise attack or some other demise that lacks true honor, the relatives of the deceased could also perform such a deed in the name of the fallen to ensure their arrival in the halls, showing that the deceased has lived a life capable of inspiring others to great feats of courage. In 2151, after discovering that a group of Xyrillians had been hiding in his ship's wake and disrupting a number of systems, Captain Vorok declared that he was "more than willing to hasten their journey to Sto-vo-kor." (ENT: "Unexpected") On Gaia in 2373, Brota believed that he would not take his place among the honored dead in Sto-vo-kor once the USS Defiant had departed, and the timeline he had been born into was erased. He considered it would have been a death 'unworthy' of entry into the afterlife. (DS9: "Children of Time") In 2375, Worf destroyed the Monac shipyards in the name of Jadzia Dax in order to gain her entry into Sto-vo-kor. (DS9: "Image in the Sand", "Shadows and Symbols") Later that year, Kor wished Worf well and that they would see each other again in Sto-vo-kor after Kor believed he would die fighting the Dominion aboard the IKS Ning'tao. He also told Worf (after knocking him unconscious) that he would find Jadzia there and remind her of Worf's love. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach") The Klingon afterlife of Sto-vo-kor was first mentioned in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The back story regarding how Kahless awaits all Klingons there was slowly developed and carried over to the later series of Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Prior to its on-screen mention, the Klingon afterlife was a subject of many Pocket Books novels, although in these non-canon works, the afterlife was known as the "Black Fleet", in which honorable Klingons would serve after death. The more successful a warrior the Klingon was in life, the greater their rank would be in the Black Fleet. The Black Fleet was eventually mentioned in "The Vulcan Hello" , though the same character also mentions Sto-vo-kor in the next episode, "Battle at the Binary Stars" , suggesting they are not competing belief systems but part of the same system. Sto-vo-Kor itself has never been seen in a live action production (only described verbally), although its counterpart Gre'thor, the Klingon equivalent to "Hell", was seen in the episode "Barge of the Dead" . The novel Kahless depicts Sto-vo-kor as a stone castle to which Klingon warriors return each night after glorious battles (with each other) to feast and drink, similar to Valhalla.

(DS9: "The Ship") Les Klingons peuvent entrer au Sto-vo-kor en mourant au combat, en accomplissant un acte héroïque, ou en permettant d'être tués par un autre Klingon. (DS9: "Children of Time", "Covenant") De même, les proches du défunt peuvent accomplir de tels actes au nom de celui-ci pour assurer leur arrivée au Sto-vo-kor. En 2375, Worf détruisit les chantiers navals de Monac au nom de Jadzia Dax pour lui permettre d'atteindre le Sto-vo-kor. (DS9: "Image in the Sand", "Shadows and Symbols") La même année, Kor espéra revoir Worf au Sto-vo-kor, Kor estimant à cette époque, qu'il allait mourir en combattant le Dominion à bord de l'IKS Ning'tao. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach") D'après la légende de Kahless l'Inoubliable, Kahless est descendu à Gre'thor pour retrouver son frère et l'emmener au Sto-vo-kor. (VOY: "Barge of the Dead")
