As part of the exchange program that once made Riker First Officer on a Klingon ship, Commander Kurn joins the Enterprise. Kurn is Worf's younger brother and has come to tell Worf that their father has been accused of betraying the Klingons by revealing the location of the Khitomer outpost to the Romulans. Worf, by Klingon tradition must travel to the homeworld of the Klingon empire to challenge the accusation and, if he fails, will die as a traitor.
