= At a Glance =
<p align="justify">Chargh'vor-chal is an abandoned <i>Batlh Heghpu</i>'-class Outpost found within the Azure Nebula.  The station itself was abandoned sometime around the start of the Dominion War, as it was no longer needed.  The purpose or origin of Chargh'vor-chal is not public knowledge but it was probably meant to be moved into the orbit of a nearby world. The Klingons used these stations for occupation during the years of Arcanis raids.  Stations like Chargh'vor-chal were positioned around a small number of Cardassian and outlier planets during the Klingon-Cardassian War.  Most were subsequently destroyed by the Dominion during the early months of the Cardassian-Dominion Alliance.</p>
<p align="justify">Chargh'vor-chal has been abandoned for almost twenty-five years and is a snapshot of Klingon technology from around the era of the Arcanis Raids and Dominion War.  But the station has been discovered, used and pillaged on a number of separate occasions.</p>

= Condition =
<p align="justify">Nearly three decades inside the Azure Nebula has degraded Chargh'vor-chal's outer ablative armor and bleached the usual crimson and verdigris of Klingon materials.  Blackening corrosion covers about 60% of its hull surface.  In some areas of the station, bulkheads have failed enough to allow micro-fractures- and the sections are subsequently exposed to nebular gases.</p>

= Subsequent Occupations =
<p align="justify">Chargh'vor-chal has not been in continuous occupation in any way since the Dominion War.  However, brief inhabitation of the derelict- as well as harvesting of its resources- has taken place no less than three times in the last twenty-five years.</p>

== The Klingon House of Mo'Kai ==
<p align="justify">The [[House Mo'Kai|Mo'Kai]] seem to have occupied it at some point in the late 2370s or early 2380s as their moniker is on one of the ablative panels for the siege disruptor.  There is no evidence they stayed long- it may have been set up as a safe house for [[Be'etor]]- Klingon Intelligence- and as a listening post during Shinzon's coup d'etat of the Romulan Senate.  The presence of the Mo'Kai is most noted in the ablative hull sections of the siege disruptors.  Compartment after compartment were turned into cubicles for the Mo'Kai's honored dead.  This practice, which they began with their allegiance to T'Kuvma in the 23rd Century, is contrary to most Klingon burial practices.  The Mo'Kai have a reverence for their honored dead and the presence of these sarcophagi might mean the Mo'Kai are shifting resources to a safe zone outside of the Klingon Empire.</p>

== Acamarian Gatherers ==
<p align="justify">In the early 2380s, Gatherers appear to have located the derelict station.  Gatherers are quite common in the Gamma Hromi Cluster and the Azure Nebula as [[Acamar III]] is nearby.  The Gatherers left several signs of their brief occupation- blood, discarded technology, etc.  They appear to have pirated some electronics and deuterium in the lower levels and then left.</p> 

== Nausicaan Raiders ==
<p align="justify">A trio of the Redzkar Fang [[Nausicaan]] Pirate gang members appear to have been marooned on the station approximately six months before the Orion Syndicate approached the station in mid-2383.  Three corpses in environmental gear were located in the Upper Menagerie.  One had died of their wounds while the other two appear to have asphyxiated.</p>
