    If Martok kills his enemy in battle and then dies of a heart attack immediately afterward, does he still get to go to Sto’vo’kor?

      Both hearts at the same time?

      Did you learn xenobiology from a ferengi?

      As if a klingon warrior could die from a measly thing such as heart failure. Puh-lease.

          Klingon insurance programs do class that as a complication of battle and therefore an honourable death.

          Unfortunately for the Klingons the Ferengi insurance underwriters class most deaths as non accidental and therefore don’t pay out, they realized most Klingons are happy enough to be told it was honourable even if they receive no compensation.

          Klingon insurance also has Act of God’s clauses, but because they killed their gods they never pay out.

          Long story short, never get Klingon healthcare or give them powers of attorney, they’re not a financially minded people.

          In that case the traitorous heart in question goes to Grethor. The rest of Martok will join the honored dead.

            Then what happens if you are a Klingon in Sto’vo’kor with a single heart and you suffer another heart attack after celebrating your arrival?

          If one heart fell in battle and the other heart didn’t, they would obviously consider that a half-hearted death.
