Stun? vIHonqu'. Klingon commanders seem to have no problem killing insubordinates, and so I doubt they would waste their time stunning anyone. This also means they probably don't have brigs either. But it's your story of course...could be interesting. I'd assume the force it would take to stun a Klingon would kill a Terran....

taHlI' lut. I trust you don't have any trouble with Mahoun's name
being Mahoun in some contexts and maHun when spoken in Klingon, or in
understanding how, when and from where they recognize each other.
It's quite fun setting up a scene and a back story and then kicking
one domino to see where it all goes. I try to set it up so the
dominoes will fall a particular way, but I'm more interested in being
true to my characters, even though I'm not sure I am, so when I can't
make the story go where I meant it to, I follow where it goes, instead.
I know I have done terrible things with the Trek universe, warp
factors, and ship layouts. I`m just discovering this as I do some
research for the chapter I`m on now. I thank those of you who knew
better all along for forgiving me. I'm going to work on being more
realistic with this after this story is done. The problem with
serializing something is that you can't go back and fix parts already
published! Klingon weapons don't have stun, do they, for example?
Maybe guards do.

Gad I love Klingon. I can lay on the symbolism with a giant trowel
and not be ashamed of what I'm doing.
