I believe the mini-campaign you are referring to is "The Lone Grey
Wolf",
about a Klingon C8 dreadnought trying to make it home from deep in
Kzinti
space after negotiations take a turn for the worse. The "Admiral Kang"
makes it safely back to klingon space.
As someone already said, "The Valkha Episode" was a Starfire scenario in
"The Stars at War" scenario book. This had a followup "what-if" scenario
dealing with the planned Orion attack on the Terran shipyards at
Galloway's Star. In the historical outcome for the first scenario, the
Valkha dies.
