The House of Ngoj was a noble Klingon House descended from the Klingon Imperial Family. In the early 23rd Century it fell on hard times following the death of its leader (Ngoj) during battle with the Romulans. The Lady Moj'ih attempted to continue the long standing traditions of the family and gave birth to a child; however, this child was unsuited to carry on the family line due to genetic abnormalities and his Albino status. The child was to be put to death and the Lady began focusing on her nephews to rebuild the House. Kor was a member of this House who wrested control and renamed it the House of Kor.
