Origin

Star Trek Canon Special Note
Not everything listed in the origin is Canon.  That is because only television shows and movies are considered canon.  This being a comic website there are many things here that are not canon.  So unless it is contradicted in film it should be listed as part of the character biography.   
 
Kir served aboard the Varchas commanded by Kaaj.  Kir was nearly killed by Captain Kaaj for incompetence, but was spared when it was covered up by Virka.  Kolj was killed in his place.
