veS DuSaQ

The ceremonial name for the Klingon military’s elite command academy translates to “School of War.” Tucked into the foothills east of the city, it is within the confines of this storied institution that the minds and bodies of Klingon warriors are molded. After uncounted generations of secrecy, veS DuSaQ has opened its doors to outsiders so that tourists with an interest in military history and culture can have the chance to witness firsthand some of the most intense, grueling training ever devised. Even though the tour is comprehensive, you’ll get only a taste of what candidates endure during their time here. For nearly six months, enrollees are inundated with classroom instruction on numerous topics, including military conduct, skills, protocols, and history. Study is combined with physical training, obstacle and endurance courses, weapons qualification, and armed and unarmed combat. The training, conducted with minimal safety standards, is as brutal as anything a soldier might expect to face on a battlefield or aboard a ship caught in the throes of space combat—a class of one hundred cadets can expect a casualty rate of nearly forty percent. Those who survive this extended trial are rewarded with commissions as officers in the Klingon Defense Force. During tours, interaction between visitors and candidates is strictly prohibited, but instructors and guides are on hand to answer every question. At the end of your tour, you’ll share a meal with a cadre of instructors at the academy’s mess hall. We recommend avoiding the klongat and gravy on toast.
