The Order of the Bat'leth was an exclusive Klingon group, a status awarded to warriors who had distinguished themselves in battle. It was considered one of the highest honors a Klingon could receive, with perhaps only the Order of Kahless outranking it in prestige. Every year, the chancellor would induct new members into the Order in a ceremony at the Hall of Warriors on Ty'Gokor. Drunken celebrations were held for a full day before the induction itself, which was part of the ceremony as an endurance test.
In 2373, the inductees included H'ta, son of Kahmar, T'vis, son of Barot, and Huss, daughter of A'trom. Benjamin Sisko was also added to the inductee list as Jodmos, son of Kobor, as part of an undercover operation to expose a changeling in the Klingon leadership. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
