Kessik IV

Kessik IV was the inhabited fourth planet of its star system and the site of a Federation colony. 
B'Elanna Torres grew up on Kessik IV, where she and her mother Miral were the only Klingons. () Aware of this fact, Kohlar took that into account while interpreting a prophecy that was "written that the mother of the Kuvah'magh would be an off-worlder", but Torres rebuffed his insinuation, indicating that "a lot of Klingons are born off-world." ()
John Torres later visited Kessik IV for some business in 2378. He was surprised at what the old Torres family house looked like. ()
