The IKS Somraw was a Klingon Raptor-class scout that was in service with the Klingon Imperial Fleet in the mid-22nd century. In 2151, the Somraw attacked and raided a Xarantine outpost. Among the goods the Somraw crew stole from the outpost was some Xarantine ale. After drinking the ale, however, the crew became infected with a deadly toxin. Sometime later, the Somraw was disabled in an attack by a Xarantine ship and forced to hide in the atmosphere of a class 9 gas giant while they made repairs. Before the repairs could be completed, however, most of the crew fell victim to the toxin from the Xarantine ale and collapsed, leaving the Somraw in a decaying orbit.
