Recognized almost 210 years ago, the Dok'Marr line was formed shortly after the Organian Conflict. The line has become very strong in a relatively short period of time. This line was probably born in response to the humiliation the Klingons suffered at the hands of the Organians (and, by extension, the Federation). At the time the Dok'Marr's sworn political position was vehement opposition to reconciliation with the Federation. Though todays view is still one of mistrust of the Federation, and it's allies.
The Dok’Marr are also unique as the only house line with two ruling Epetai. This may be an internal arrangement by which the Dok’Marr hope to appeal to both Klingon/ Human Fusions and Imperial Klingons. Despite their line’s relative newness on the scene, Star Fleet personnel should consider all Dok’marr as potentially hostile until proven otherwise.
