The Klingon Imperial Family was a group of Klingons, including the Emperor of the Klingon Empire, who claimed descent from Kahless the Unforgettable. When General K'Trelan executed Emperor Reclaw, he also had the entire Klingon Imperial Family put to death. Following the end of the Dark Time, unrelated Klingons were given the names and titles of the deceased, with the intention of creating an unbroken line. (DS9 episode: "You Are Cordially Invited", VOY novel: Full Circle) Khamlet was a member of the Klingon Imperial Family. (ST novel: The Klingon Hamlet)
