You did it the way I would.  {jImorgh!} "I protest!" is perfect.  {jIQochbe'} "I agree" works for "Sustained" and {jIQoch} "I disagree" for "Overruled".  {yItamchoH} "Be quiet!" (TKD) is another option for a Klingon {loHwI'} (magistrate) in either case.  While I'm thinking of it, {yItaH} ("Continue! Go on!") works for "Proceed" after the objection has been dealt with.

ghunchu'wI' has already opined, correctly I think, that {ruQ} was a typo or error.  Since {raQ} is described in KCD, I would stick with that:

KGT 79:  The closest to a general term in this realm may be the verb {raQ}, which means "manipulate by hand, handle". It can be applied to carving, sculpting, metalworking, and the like but is really much less specific, referring to activities that involve having some control over some object. For example, in addition to saying {betleH yan} (He/she wields a bat'leth), one could say {betleH raQ} (He/she controls a bat'leth). By extension, the term {raQ} is also used when referring to controlling a space vessel 'manually' (that is, when the controls are manipulated directly by a person rather than a computer): {Duj raQ} (He/she controls the ship manually).

.. although WRT (small?) ships there's also {'or}:

HQ 11.2:  Maltz thought that the best word for operate (an aircraft) was {'or} ... In general, {'or} would not be used to refer to the activities of the captain of a spacecraft, or even those of its helmsman, but Maltz said it could be used for the controlling of a shuttlecraft. He was comfortable translating {'or} as "pilot" (the verb).
