Picard refuses, however, so as not to drag the Federation into a Klingon civil war .

While Worf is on Gowron's ship, it is attacked by ships of the Duras clan. When it is close to destruction, it is rescued by the ship from Kurn, Worf's brother. With the support of Kurn and his followers, Gowron is persuaded to return Worf's family honor.
