Klingon shock troops were specialized Klingon troops employed by the Ferengi that were intended to lead the attack in a fictional invasion devised by Nog during an interrogation by Captain Wainwright. Nog claimed that at that moment three hundred Marauder-class attack cruisers were in orbit of Earth, preparing for an invasion. At the appointed hour, they were to deactivate their cloaking devices and begin transporting Klingon shock troops directly to the landing zone. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
