Imagine if the Klingons are like Mandalore in TCW now? A bunch of subdued, isolationist pacifists. The KDF is a proper DF, it'll mess you up, sure, but they ain't a shoot-first type people now.
Maybe the Fed Tech allows the Klingon state to be self-sufficient (maybe star-lifting/mining is now common in the 'resource poor' demense of the old Empire?).
Maybe there's a more rabid branch out and about, even piratical, but I would like to see a evolved Klingon state, they can't expand forever, and might go to the ENT era values of seeking/gaining honor by being proficient and notable in whatever they do - Law, Science, Art, Warfare, Love, Religion, Exploring, Construction, Commerce...?
Or they're like the Reavers from Serenity.
