The colony was assaulted by Romulans and demolished after defense system codes were given to the enemy by Ja'rod. Five-thousand colonists, including Worf's parents and Ja'rod himself were killed that day. The only survivors were Work and his ghojmoq Kahlest. The starship Intrepid responded to the distress call, and Worf was discovered by Petty Officer Sergey Rozhenko.
