Need help! For a D&D like Star Trek adventure I'm working on

I'm making my third D&D like adventure and the theme this time is around Star Trek.
There are 2 massive Star Trek fans that will be playing so I want something in the finale that makes sense in some way, but not too serious.
I'm not too familiar with Star Trek myself and I turn to you in my hour of need /r/startrek .

Some context of the setup for those interested:
Players are handed an 'artefact' of Klingon origin, which a friendly, but crippled, starship managed to retrieve from a planet after a long battle with the thieves.
Several weeks ago Klingon said it was stolen and blame the Federation(which players are part of), players are tasked in returning said artefact before the situation worsens.

Then the game starts, players travel in a starship and go through a few encounters that they need to solve or fight.

Now the finale is where it needs to connect, this is where I need your help.
I need you guys to point me to a Klingon device that can be used part of the joke and I wish for the Star Trek fans playing the game to recognise it.
I want to set up a situation where the 'precious artefact' turns out to be something silly, like an energy source for a Klingon kebab broiler for example.
The big bad situation turns out to be blown out of proportions and boils(or, broils, in this example) down to the Klingon were just hungry or something like that.

And then the original thieves show up, players fight them and finish the finale.
Can you starfarers help me out? Bonus points for object that have reference or images! I do need to draw them for the board.
