Location of Qo'Nos and, possibly, Voyager
Qo'Nos is located in the Beta Quadrant.
According to Captain Kohlar, the Klingon starship traveled 30,000 light years in one hundred years. This statement would tend to support the canonical maps which show a Klingon Empire in the upper left corner of the Beta Quadrant. Now, my question, does this statement place the planet Qo'Nos within 10,000 light years of the Beta-Gamma boundary? I am supposing that the Voyager is within 30,000 light years of this boundary.
History of Star Trek
According to Captain Janeway, the Federation-Klingon Empire have been at peace for eighty years. The accord that established this peace is the Khitomer Accords. Yet, this fact would seem to contradict the known history as depicted in TNG and DS9. How do we reconcile this fact with the other history?
Klingon Culture
For the colony to be viable, the Klingon adults would need to have more than one mate. Is there canonical evidence that suggests the Klingons were or are polygamous?

Plus, she didn't know about the recent Federation-Klingon conflict. So what history does it contradict anyway?

This 30,000 ly figure is probably rounded enough to be of little use. All it tells us is that the place Voyager calls "home" and the planet Qo'noS are roughly at the same distance from Voyager's current location. Since the rounding error with 30,000 ly could well be something like 5,000 ly either way, and since we don't even know if Voyager counts the distance to Earth or to the nearest UFP outpost, this tells us virtually nothing of the distance between Qo'noS and Earth, or their relative locations.

Though you'd think that someone at Command might think to send a little history textbook to tell Voyager what they've been missing...

Now, here's my question: If the Klingons have been heading towards Voyager, A) Why didn't Janeway do a little more debriefing about what's up ahead, and B) It should be pretty smooth sailing if a 100 year old Klingon ship can make it through in tact.
Granted the Klingon ship did have a cloak and they would've been on a slightly different heading, but still...

Though the treaties had to be multilateral in some manner too, not just between the Federation and the Klingons. Because there was the convention banning subspace weapons that are part of the 2nd Khitomer Accords, and I seem to recall some mention of the Seldonis Convention (regarding prisoners) also being related to the Accords.

*In a DS9 ep, a Klingon makes a log entry marked "the 999th year of Kahless", or some such. We know Kahless was around about 1500 years ago (Earth years, presumably), so a Klingon year is apparently about 1.5 times an Earth year.

My new year's resolution is the same as last year's: 1024x768.
