TREL TRIVIA:

In 2152 the IKC Bortas under the command of a Captain Duras was crippled by the Enterprise under the command of Capt. Archer. (ENT "Judgment")

In 2366 Worf's father Mogh was formally accused of having aided the Romulans in attacking the Khitomer Outpost but K'mpec revealed that the traitor was in fact Duras' father Ja'rod, and forced Worf to accept discommendation for his father's "treason". (TNG "Sins of the Father")

The IKC Vorn was the K'Vort-class Bird-of-Prey that transported Duras to the rendezvous with the Enterprise-D in 2367 where he was killed by Worf in a duel after Duras had killed K'Ehleyr. (TNG "Reunion")

The Duras sisters' (Lursa and B'Etor) old D-12 Bird-of-Prey was destroyed by the Enterprise-D over Veridian III with all aboard. (ST:Gen)
