Klingonspace

Warriors of the Klingon Empire come to drink and sing songs of past glory

Sadly the nice article I had was lost when the first KlingonSpace was shut down.

I will be slowly recreating the Featured QuchHa' article, however it will be done a bit slower than previously,

I will be featuring QuchHa' from TV, Movies, Comic Books, Games, and Video Games.

Kor



Kor, son of Rynar, the last son of the House of Kor and descendant of the Klingon Imperial Family, was among the most influential warriors and respected military leaders of the Klingon Empire during the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.

As a product of 22nd century genetic engineering, Kor was descended from Klingons affected with the augment virus created in 2154. By the 24th century he had managed to shed the cosmetically disfiguring and the physically and mentally weakening effects of the virus. (ENT: "Divergence"; DS9: "Blood Oath"; TOS: "Errand of Mercy")

Throughout his illustrious career, Kor played key roles in many legendary battles against the Federation and Romulan Empire. Kor's influence in the Empire would elevate him to the status of Klingon Dahar Master. (DS9: "Blood Oath")

Actor Bio


John Colicos (10 December 1928 – 6 March 2000; age 71) was a Canadian actor who played Kor, the first major Klingon seen on Star Trek. As such, Colicos defined the look of the Original Series Klingons – mustachioed menaces in the Genghis Khan mold. Originating the role in the first season episode "Errand of Mercy", Colicos was to return as Kor in both "The Trouble with Tribbles" and "Day of the Dove", but scheduling conflicts made this impossible. Regardless, he would be able to reprise the role of Kor several more times on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

In a career that spanned over five decades, Colicos performed in nearly 100 film and television projects. His appearance as Kor in the Deep Space Nine episode "Once More Unto the Breach" in 1998 was among his last acting roles. Less than two years afterward, Colicos died in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, following a series of heart attacks. He was 71 years old
take your time great warrior, the best songs are always sung at end my brother

Koloth



Koloth was among the most legendary warriors, heroic military leaders and adept negotiators in the Klingon Empire during the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.

As a product of 22nd century genetic engineering, Koloth was descended from Klingons affected with the augment virus created in 2154. For the 24th century he seemed to have been cured or cosmetically altered. (ENT: "Divergence"; TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; DS9: "Blood Oath")

Koloth's status within the Empire was revered to the extent that he achieved the status of a Klingon Dahar Master. His glory would further succeed him, after his death in 2370, when he earned his own statue among the Hall of Heroes on Qo'noS. (DS9: "Blood Oath", "The Sword of Kahless")

Actor Bio


Actor William Campbell (born 30 October 1926; age 82) from Newark, New Jersey is known to Star Trek fans for his portrayal of the god-child Trelane in the first season episode "The Squire of Gothos" and for his role as Koloth in the the second season episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". He reprised the Koloth role in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Blood Oath", becoming one of the few actors to portray the same character on both the original series and on one of the spin-offs. (The character Koloth also appeared in a Star Trek: The Animated Series episode, but in that case, James Doohan provided the voice.) Campbell also reprised his role as Trelane in the video game Star Trek: Judgment Rites. His Klingon teeth from "Blood Oath" were once sold off by auction.

Kang



Kang was among the most influential leaders and feared diplomats in the Klingon Empire during the late 23rd and early 24th centuries.

As a product of 22nd century genetic engineering, Kang was descended from Klingons affected with the Klingon augment virus created in 2154 (ENT: "Divergence"). By the 2290s, Kang was outwardly cured of this affliction either through medical treatment, cosmetic surgery, or a combination of both. (VOY: "Flashback")

Throughout his illustrious career, Kang played key roles in many legendary battles against the Federation, both on the battlefield and at the negotiation table. As a result of his prowess, Kang's status within the Empire was revered to the extent that he achieved the status of a Klingon Dahar Master. His glory further succeeded him, after his death in 2370, when he earned his own statue among the Hall of Heroes on Qo'noS. (DS9: "Blood Oath", "The Sword of Kahless")

Kang wed his wife, Mara, prior to 2268; she would later serve as Kang's science officer aboard his battle cruiser during the late 2260s. By 2290, Kang had his first son, whom he named Dax, in honor of his friend, the Federation ambassador to Qo'noS, Curzon Dax. (TOS: "Day of the Dove"; DS9: "Blood Oath")

Actor Bio


Michael Ansara (born 15 April 1922; age 87) is the actor best-known to Star Trek fans for playing Kang in three Star Trek episodes, each from a different series. He later appeared on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine again, as Lwaxana Troi's Tavnian husband, Jeyal.

He is one of ten actors to play the same character (Kang) on three different Star Trek TV series. The other actors who hold this distinction are Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Mark Lenard, Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Armin Shimerman, John de Lancie, and Richard Poe.

Mara



Mara was the Klingon wife of Captain Kang and science officer aboard his battle cruiser. (TOS: "Day of the Dove")

As a product of 22nd century genetic engineering, Mara was descended from Klingons affected with the Augment virus created in 2154. (ENT: "Divergence")

In 2268, Mara was part of the Klingon crew and Starfleet crewmembers aboard the USS Enterprise that while under the mind control of an unknown alien entity were fighting a no win battle. She was very worried that she would be tortured by the Starfleet crew. She assisted Captain Kirk in negotiating a peaceful end to the conflict by taking him to Kang and supporting Kirk's theory that an alien was controlling both forces. (TOS: "Day of the Dove")

Mara was the first appearance of a Klingon female and was played by actress Susan Howard. Although the reference was never mentioned on screen, it is very possible that Mara was the mother of Dax, son of Kang, from DS9: "Blood Oath".

Actor Bio


Jeri Lynn Mooney (born 28 January 1943; age 66), better known as Susan Howard, is the American actress who played Mara, the first female Klingon to appear in Star Trek, and one of only two (and the only one with a speaking part) ever seen in the original series, in the episode "Day of the Dove".

Howard was born in Marshall, Texas, and graduated from Marshall High School in the early 1960s. She attended the University of Texas for two years, after which she moved to California, becoming a member of the Los Angeles Repertory Company. She began acting on television programs in 1966.

Korax



Korax was the Klingon executive officer of the IKS Gr'oth, serving under the command of Captain Koloth in 2268.

While drinking in a bar while on shore leave aboard Deep Space K-7, Korax and a number of his crew traded insults with Montgomery Scott and Pavel Chekov and a number of the crew of the USS Enterprise, who were also on the station. The insults, including calling Captain James T. Kirk a "Denebian slime devil" and calling the Enterprise a "garbage scow", eventually ignited an all out brawl between the two crews. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")

Korax continued to serve as Koloth's executive officer in 2269, when the Klingon captain attempted to arrest Cyrano Jones. (TAS: "More Tribbles, More Troubles")

As a product of 22nd century genetic engineering, Korax was descended from Klingons affected with the Augment virus created in 2154. (ENT: "Divergence")

Actor Bio


Michael Pataki (born 16 January 1938; age 71) is an actor best known to Star Trek fans for playing Korax in the classic TOS episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". Footage of his role was later used in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations". He also played Karnas in the TNG episode "Too Short a Season".


In Star Trek: The Animated Series voice of Korax was provided by David Gerrold.

TAS Kor



Kor from The Animated Series episode "The Time Trap". The Voice of Kor from The Animated Series was played by James Doohan.

TAS Koloth



Koloth from The Animated Series episode "More Tribbles, More Troubles". The Voice of Koloth from The Animated Series was played by James Doohan.

Marab



Marab was a male Klingon warrior in the 22nd century. He was the son of General K'Vagh, but at his own request he received no special treatment from his father throughout his career.

Marab and the other soldiers in his unit volunteered to be among the first to be infected with the Klingon augment virus in 2154.

That year, Marab and his unit boarded the Enterprise NX-01, from an attacking Klingon warship, with the intention of crippling the Earth ship by altering its engineering subroutines. Although the mission was successful – the ship was slowed down and thus was unable to interfere in the Klingon attempts to genetically engineer the augment virus – Marab was wounded by a MACO and subsequently captured while his boarding party attempted to escape.

After the Enterprise crew learned that Marab was a Klingon despite his Human appearance, Marab was placed in the brig, next to a holding cell containing the ship's armory officer, Lieutenant Malcolm Reed, who had been imprisoned for betraying Captain Archer's trust. Reed attempted to assure Marab that they were both looking for a way to cure the Augment virus, but Marab refused to listen to a mere Human. Eventually, Marab was convinced to provide Archer and crew with the location of the colony where the viral research was taking place; he was subsequently released from the ship's brig and returned to the custody of General K'Vagh.

However, the reunion was soon in jeopardy, as Marab and the other members of his unit continued to grow weaker from the effects of the virus. After a cure was developed, Marab and his soldiers were once again healthy, although they retained their Human appearance. (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence")

Actor Bio


Terrell Tilford (born 22 July 1969; age 40) is the actor who played the Klingon Marab in the Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "Affliction" and "Divergence".

Krell



Krell was the Klingon responsible for upsetting the balance of power, in 2267, within the culture on Tyree's planet by providing a rival clan of villagers led by Apella with the "advanced technology" of flintlock weapons. He promised Apella that if he cooperated with the Klingons, he would be given power over the planet. In turn, Krell would be able to establish a puppet government with alliance to the Klingon Empire. Krell's mission was foiled when James T. Kirk discovered the plot and armed Tyree's clan with the same weapons. (TOS: "A Private Little War")

As a product of 22nd century genetic engineering, Krell was descended from Klingons affected with the augment virus created in 2154. (ENT: "Divergence")

Actor Bio


Krell was played by actor Ned Romero. Of particular behind-the-scenes interest is that Krell's darkened complexion and upswept, bushy eyebrows represent a return to the original Klingon makeup design used on Kor and his men in the first season's "Errand of Mercy", and later on Kang, Kahless and all other Klingons in the third season. For some reason, at the beginnning of season two, the Klingons Kras (TOS: "Friday's Child") and Koloth, Korax and their men (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles") were styled with Caucasian skin and Human-style eyebrows.

Kras



Kras was the Klingon representative sent to Capella IV to obtain permission for the Klingon Empire to mine topaline there in 2267. Kras supported Maab's revolt against the Teer Akaar in hopes that Maab would in turn award the Klingons the mining rights. Kras later betrayed Maab, and was killed by Maab's lieutenant, Keel, for his betrayal. (TOS: "Friday's Child")

Kras was descended from Klingons afflicted by the Klingon augment virus inadventently created by Antaak in 2154, and had the characteristic smooth forehead. (ENT: "Divergence")

Actor Bio


Kras was played by Tige Andrews. His character was not named in dialog, but merely and impersonally referred to as "Klingon." However, the character's name was taken from the script and he was named in the ending credits.

Kras was the first Klingon character to be styled differently from Kor and the other Klingons in "Errand of Mercy". Kras' makeup involved no darkened skin or bushy, upswept eyebrows. This Caucasoid Klingon appearance was used again on Koloth, Korax and the other Klingons in "The Trouble with Tribbles" before reverting to the original makeup design in the episode "A Private Little War".

The Excalbian recreation of Kahless



In 2269, an image of Kahless was created by the Excalbians in a plot devised to better understand the concepts of "good" and "evil". The image was considerably flawed from the original Kahless with such notable discrepanices as being infected with Klingon augment virus and wearing a 23rd century Imperial Klingon Fleet uniform. The Excalbian version of Kahless appeared and acted quite differently from the original since the image had been created from reading the minds of humans who, at that point in Starfleet history, saw Kahless as a ruthless tyrant, and had had far more contact with augment Klingons (or their descendants) than with standard Klingons. The Excalbian version of Kahless also had a talent for mimicking voices. (TOS: "The Savage Curtain")

Actor Bio


Robert Herron (born 23 September 1924; age 84) is a Hollywood stuntman and actor. He appeared, uncredited, as an Enterprise crewmember named Sam in TOS: "Charlie X". He would later play the legendary Kahless the Unforgettable in TOS: "The Savage Curtain".
