What does the {Hovlat} ("star shrine"?) look like? If this is a portable
box containing an image of Kahless, then we've seen one from time to time
in Worf's quarters on TNG. There's a close-up photo showing its carved
doors open, containing a statuette of what appears to be Kahless holding a
conventional straight sword (interestingly, NOT his famous bat'leth) on p.
210 of TKW. Is this what is depicted in the game?
