Klingon violations
of the Neutral Zone are fairly frequent, they have been unusually numerous
of late. USS Gallant, Captain Bearclaw, ordered to patrol this quadrant,
putting an end to all such incursions of Fed space, as designated by the
Organian Peace Treaty. Six big cruisers pop up and destroy the Gallant.

the cause of the Klingon Empire and serve my own revenge!
All ships prepare
to attack on my command! Deactivate stabilizers. Begin sequential attack.
Four K’tinga class
ships attack Enterprise. The Klingons, thinking the Enterprise defeated,
continued their synchronized attack, leaving themselves open to a synchronized
attack from Enterprise. Two ships damaged, self destruct. Blue fire suppression

Klingons destroyed
the defenseless Benecia Medical Station, an orbital facility, no survivors.
They begged for mercy but the Klingons showed them none. At least four
K’tinga class ships.
The Fed retaliated
by attacking a minor outpost on a small planet just inside the Neutral

Kor – And I did know
it was you from a strategy like that! Very cleaver. I should like the chance

Kor – I know only
that I was taken from behind my admiral’s desk and given my command back,
by the order of Kahless IV, himself. I was told to guard Organia against
any contact by the Fed.

Females find his eye patch attractive, or he would have replaced it with

Magellan’s Worf was
simultaneously discovered by the Klingon Empire and a Fed explorer named
Mace Magellan 10 years ago. The native inhabitants tend to favor the Klingons
in their general demeanor, Magellan won the affection of the locals after
a brief dispute with the Klingons over territoriality [a brawl]. As governor,
Magellan divided the planet equally between the Klingons and the fed and
each side was given 10 years to prove who was best suited to develop the
planet for the benefit of its people. The Klingons have been strip-mining
the territory, destroying ecology but impressive results.
Klingon mining installation,

After centuries of
hardship the inhabitants desire progress as fast as possible, definitely
leaning toward the Klingons.
Since the Klingons
have traditionally lacked decent farmland and have thus had to develop
crops that would grow under the most adverse conditions they’ve had little
difficulty cultivating a local crop
It appears obvious
that when the development period ends in a few days dominion will be awarded
to the Klingons, deservedly so.
The Organian Peace
Treaty does give each side in this little contest the right to observe
the other’s progress
Dilithium is the crystalline
backbone of both the Fed and the Klingon Empire.

Koloth – Is there

apologize, Kirk. We have bureaucrats in the Klingon Empire as well. Though
they do tend to be unusually accident prone! What I wouldn’t give at the

Captain Koloth – Our
mining techniques have brought Magellan’s World out of the stone age.
Koloth – Kirk likes
to live dangerously, doesn’t he?
The Klingons are wining
the competition here, they’d have nothing to gain from such sabotage.
Stanton with Miss
Alisa Ruthven, miner. This is war, us against the Klingons! don’t want
the Klingons to gain dominion over this planet? Stanton will help Ruthen
save this world from Klingon tyranny.
Kirk and McCoy walk
into
Klingon mining camp without suitable escort. To talk with Koloth.
Koloth – I know why
you are here, and I resent it. I will not allow you to accuse the Klingon
Empire of sabotage! We have labored well for these backward peasants. We
have dragged them from the pit of ignorance to the summit of knowledge!
We have enlightened them, transformed them. How dare you think us guilty
of betraying them? How dare you hold us in such little regard?
Koloth – If you do
know who the saboteur is tell us, and they will face swift Klingon justice
fro their crime!
Magellan – Sorry,
I’ve seen your kind of justice! Not a very pretty sight.
Koval used to fly
with Captain Koloth, until that underhanded earther Kirk filled Koloth’s
ship with tribbles. Never could stand those oversexed little furballs.
That’s when Koval quit the service and got into mining instead.
Alisa Ruthven gives
Koval sedatives in his drink, drags him to mining facility to take the
fall for her sabotage.
The Klingons win the
voting on Magellan’s World. Koloth agrees to Magellan’s terms that the
Fed would be able to purchase half the dilithium mined here at a reasonable
price. The Klingons will cease the strip-mining that has been destroying
the ecology, and adopt the Fed’s methods.
Koloth – Makes me
wonder why we ever wanted this cursed planet in the first place! humans,
feh!

Konom and Nancy on
routine reconnaissance landing party to Gamma Trianguli IV. They find planet
devastated, looks like Marobilus-D after the blasts, or Konom’s Klingon
birthplace.
Konom sometimes wishes
he could be more Klingon, but it is against everything he believes in to
strike this monstrous reptile, and thus become just as bad as the rest
of the Klingons.
Konom hesitates to
fire at beast, endangering landing party. He’d be everything he’s trying
to deny. Nancy tells him it would be self-defense, not wanton violence
and terrorizing.
Konom fires to help
save Nancy – My god forgive me.
Konom’s added assault
did the trick. The beast disintegrates. Konom is upset, Nancy comforts
him.
Nancy pulls phaser
to defend Kirk from threatening native, Konom grabs her arm – No, Nancy.
There’s got to be a better way, a peaceful way.
Nancy considered a
goddess by native leader Makora.
Narcotic herb from
Gamma Trianguli IV incapacitates humans, but has no effect on Klingon physiognomy.
Konom will not allow Makora to kill the Enterprise landing party, or take
from him the woman he loves! Makora proposes a joust, but Konom refuses
to fight and flees.
Konom can’t believe
he’s running, he left Nancy. But he can’t fight. I’m a Klingon, I
should be tearing into these maniacs, but I’m a freak, I just cannot do
it. If he calls the Enterprise for help, they’ll know he ran. He’s really
failed everyone. Unless he turns around and goes back. The Fed gave me
asylum from the Klingon people who couldn’t bear the shame I brought onto
their murderous reputation. I owe them my life.
Konom was never a
fighter, like Bearclaw, that’s what attracts Nancy to Konom. But she wonders
why he ran, he could have saved them all.
Konom makes an alliance
with the Akuta and the Vaalites and brings them to save the others. He
found a way to come back and have others do the fighting. Konom swings
into pit and rescues Nancy.

weight to balance the scales, for the crew of Klingons, including Captain
Kruge, that Kirk slaughtered on the Genesis planet? Fah. The only service

the Council – Bigotry, my respected sentients, is an ugly emotion. One
that enlightened races have managed to rise above. But every so often there
comes along one member of a race in whom bigotry festers like a canker,
one such is James T Kirk. His hatred of Klingons as a whole, his vindictive
and constant persecution, are legendary throughout the empire. indeed,
as my ambassador has said, there can be no peace while Kirk lives. A human
who would far prefer to see every Klingon in the galaxy dead! ever have
the Klingons defended themselves. Fought to protect our interests. And
ever has there been one who has treated us as if we ere the lowest of the
low. James T Kirk. His hatred is unstinting and unswerving. I have heard
tell that he is incapable of speaking the name of our race without adding
the epithet ‘bastard’ immediately thereafter. What other reason but bigotry
could there be besides that?
Kirk – Perhaps because
you murdered my son in cold blood?
Emperor – I see. You
call us bastard because in defending ourselves we killed your bastard.
If you are going to attack me, I would recommend caution. I left a trail
of bodies a kelicam wide in my ascension to the throne. I’ve defeated greater
warriors than you.
Kirk – No, you haven’t.
and that’s what’s really sticking in your craw. Klingons understand war.
They live and breathe war. And you understand that casualties occur, that
lives are lost. War sickens me. I don’t’ revel in it, as you do. But when
forced to fight, my crew have not only proven a match for your people,
but we’ve out-thought you, we’ve beaten you, every single time. See this
hand, soft, white. Not as tough as a Klingon hand, not as strong, not as
unrelenting in its grabs for power. But this hand has turned you away time
and again. That’s why there is no peace while I live. Because I’m a symbol
of the Klingons not being as tough or conquering or powerful as you think
you are. While I live I represent every failure you ever had. I’m not the
one who believes that he’s superior to another race, who wants to exterminate
the member of that race who proves Klingons aren’t the mightiest people
in the galaxy. That I’ve fought and killed Klingons doesn’t bother you.
That I’ve embarrassed you, that you can never forgive me for. But you took
my only son, and I can never forgive you for that, so we’re even.
Emperor – No, the
life of one Klingon is worth a hundred human lives. Worth a hundred Nasgulian
lives as well. Salla, do not think that your cavalier treatment of my ambassador
has escaped me. both my memory and my reach are long. When this business
is settled, we will settle business between yourselves.
The Emperor questions
Commander Maltz, who wears Imperial Guard style collar and sash on right
shoulder
Maltz – I was there
for the slaughter of my commander and comrades. All we wanted was the secret
was the secret of the Genesis torpedo, a devastating weapon that threatened
to tilt the balance of power to the Fed. Had Kirk complied with our request,
we would have gone on our way peacefully. Instead he pretended to bargain
in good faith, tricked our men into boarding his ship, and then destroyed
it. To deceit he added treachery, murdering Commander Kruge rather than
accede to our simple request. He’s a criminal of the highest order.
Areel Shaw-Cogley
– It sounds like a brutal experience, Sub-Commander Maltz.
Maltz – Brutality
is nothing new to Klingons. particularly in our dealings with Captain Kirk.
Areel – You owe your
life to the fact that Kirk did not kill you even when you begged him to.
Maltz – Klingons do
not beg
Areel – If a member
of Kirk’s crew had killed your son, and you had the chance to avenge yourself
on Kirk by taking his life, would you have?
Maltz – Yes.
Areel – You are in
disgrace, are you not, Maltz?
Maltz – In a manner
of speaking.
Areel – You would
say or do anything to achieve your previous rank, would you not?
Maltz has no answer.
Kirk detects that
the circular disk from Ambassador’s honor sash the Emperor has on his belt
is a bomb, and has beamed out. Sarek restrains the Ambassador while Spock

Sarek - The Emperor
and the entire Empire owes Kirk. If one Klingon life is worth a hundred
human lives, how much is your life worth? The life perhaps of one James
T Kirk?
Emperor – The scales
are balanced. But be warned. I will be watching you carefully and the slightest
wrong move against the Klingon Empire will bring those precariously balanced
scales crashing down upon you!
Ambassador to Starfleet
officer – Kirk and the Nasgul have humiliated me. there is only one thing
for this. Something must happen to make Kirk untip those scales. I want
you to make sure that he’s in a situation where he has no choice but to
offend the Klingons, and then we‘ll have him. You’re our highest placed,
most deep spy, and your job is not over.
Spy – If you can’t
trust a highly placed Klingon spy to make life even more miserable for
Kirk than he already has, then whom can you trust?

a star and converts the matter of the star into the energy required for
a slipstream gateway. The transformation would take approximately one solar

the qul HoH – what I did was done for the good of the Klingon Empire, not
your Fed. Instability here does not serve our purpose, or so say my superiors.
A Klingon battle cruiser is on its way. When Commodore Khezri arrives I
will no longer be in command of the Klingon Force.
Kedyn denies Kirk’s
question on sensor data as a clever attempt to measure our technical capabilities.
Spock – Keydn did
not seem entirely pleased with the Commodore’s impending arrival.
The Fed needs those
colonies to compete with Klingon expansion, and those precious colonies
will need the resources mined and ship from Needra. Transportation interests
Fed and Klingon fleets conducting coordinating escort operations. Otherwise
shipping might shut down, then the Klingons might decide to use force to
get what they need.
P13 Imperial battlecruiser
Qapla, the name translates as success.
Kirk – Optimists.
Commodore Khezri –
My compliments on your Klingon pronunciation, Kirk. I doubt this ship is
truly welcome, but we, like you, have interests to protect. Our mutual
treaty with the Needrans does grant us equal status.
Khezri denies Kirk’s
request to examine qul HoH sensor record of attack on Lafayette.
Khezri – Patience,
Captain, patience. It wasn’t long ago that my people had a sizable price
on your head.
Tyrion Legion, 20
star systems, up from nothing in a few short years, want to take their
corner of the galaxy.
Khezri – The Klingon
way is different from the Fed. We have a saying, as long as a mother gives
milk, her life is holy. Needra nourishes the empire well.
Khezra – Why doesn’t
Needra have weapons and armed vessels of their own? The riches of a system
like yours demand protection. And with your great wealth, you certainly
could have afforded to buy state-of-the-art weapons.
Lantine, Crown Melak
of the Needran Government Assembly – We are not a warrior race like yours.
We invite those who might be enemies and make them friends.
The qul HoH has been
attacked while on routine patrol, need immediate assistance. Their battle
damage is severe, communications are still scrambled. Khezri requests medical
assistance. Many on qul HoH were killed.
Khezri wears cloak,
sash over right shoulder.
Khezri – Klingon sickbays
are not so well-equipped. It is no shame for Klingons to die in battle.
And it is fortunate Captain Keydn escaped without serious injury.
The unknown ship appeared
from nowhere and shredded the qul HoH’s defenses. The intruder would appear
to posses a cloaking device superior to the Klingon system, effective weapons,
and can attain greater velocities than Enterprise or Qapla.
One of the Klingons
wants to talk to Kirk. It will remain confidential. Kirk won’t execute
him, the senior defense officer, injured in left eye. Shields and sensors
are his responsibility, battle readiness. It is not easy to sneak up on
a Klingon warship. Two days ago there was an abnormal fluctuation on my
calibration lock. Someone tampered with sensors to allow a cloaked vessel
to escape detection. One other, and captain, has access to the equipment.
Keydn gives data on
combined Klingon/Starfleet convoy to Tyrion informer Zandir. The perfect
chance for the Tyrions to destroy the Enterprise and the Qapla. The Needrans
would be conquered by the Tyrons and ruled by Keydn and Zandir, long before
Klingon and Starfleet reinforcements could arrive.

Partners? conclusion
Howard Weinstein,
writer
Commodore Khezri already
knew the sensors on the qul HoH were sabotaged, when Kirk informed him.
P1 Daig logged his
suspicions and Khezri had already reviewed every log entry by every senior
officer on that ship. Daig has nothing to worry about, under Zhezri’s command
truth, even unpleasant truth, isn’t grounds for execution.
McCoy – An honorable
Klingon? What’s this universe coming to? We could be on the brink of a
real breakthrough in relations with the Klingons.
Kirk – There’s been
some real cooperation between us, and Khezri, I think we’re finally learning
to trust each other.
The Klingon cruiser
Qapla leaves orbit, for the region where both the Lafayette and qul HoH
were attacked. ignoring Enterprise hails.
A combined Klingon/Starfleet
convoy en route.
Khezri told Keydn
there would be a convoy.
Keeping a vessel the
size of the cruiser Qapla cloaked when there in no enemy in range is a
huge power drain.
The Klingons can detect
the Tyrion’s cloaked ships, revealing Keydn is a traitor.
Khezri destroys one
Tyrion ship, the other two flee at warp 15.
Keydn – I invoke the
warrior’s right of quick execution.
With a little persuasion
Captain Keydn revealed that the Tyrion fleet has nine of their large ships,
eight remaining.
Khezri to Kirk – Our
mutual enemy if far from invincible. Let us plan a massive pre-emptive
strike on the Tyrions together.
Spock – There is some
military logic in such a strike at their prime base.
Khezri – Starfleet
power is defensive, I know, Starfleet’s major weakness. Force may be needed,
Kirk. Are you ready to use it? Our patience has limits. And what about
Zandir, it was interesting to find that he was Keydn’s co-conspirator.
Miss Gallan to Zandir
– I’m just as Fed up with the Fed and the Klingons as you are. I could
turn you over to the Klingons. I bet they’d have some fun with you.
The Fed-Klingon fleet
is due at Needra within three days.
Kirk to Khezri – Your
insistence on offensive action forced me to try this intelligence gathering
mission without your participation.
Khezri – Bold action
worthy of a Klingon, my compliments, Kirk. The Tyrions are coming and we
will have to fight them, the only question is where.
Kirk – Maybe we can
stop the Tyrions without firing a shot, wouldn’t that drive Khezri nuts?
Enterprise and Klingons
go toward Tyrion Defense Zone together.
Khezri – have you
come to your senses yet, Kirk? A devastating first strike is our best chance
for quick, painless victory. I know you humans are squeamish about spilling
your own blood.
Kirk – Isn’t there
a Klingon proverb that goes
The man too anxious
to spill blood should beware of cutting his own throat?
Khezri – Well said,
but be warned, I will not let your reticence drag us down to defeat.
Khezri and the Qapla
cloak going into battle with the Enterprise, against the Tyrions, decloaks,
weapons at full power, when Tyrion ships powerless.
Khezri – I’m removing
a blight, the Tyrions are helpless.
Qapla continues attack
approach, cuts communications with Enterprise. Kirk moves Enterprise in
path of Qapla, protecting Tyrions, fires across Qapla’s bow. Qapla veers
away.
Khezri – Kirk, this
is no time for weak human mercy. We must seize the chance to finish off
our common enemy.
Kirk – Have you forgotten
Innaxx 5, Khezri? I bet your emperor hasn’t. your brutal defeat humiliated
the Innaxxi. What little was left wasn’t even worth occupying. But it took
only six years for them to recover enough to destroy a dozen Klingon outposts
and kill thousands of your people.
Kirk gets the Tyrions
to sit down and talk.
P24 Rutz to Khezri
– How will you explain this to the Emperor?
Khezri – Hmmm. It
was the only way to snuff a viper in its cradle.
Rutz – Nice turn of
phrase, sir. What if he doesn’t believe you?
Khezri – Then you
and I face an abrupt change in our fortunes, Rutz.
Kirk – The Organians
predicted years ago that someday there’d be peace with the Klingons. this
incident could be another harbinger of improved relations.

Chapter One
Howard Weinstein writer
SD 8535.6
Skellen Three, a sparsely
populated planet in non-aligned space. Mining colony has expressed interest
in Fed affiliation. This middle of nowhere happens to fall between Klingon
and Fed frontiers. Strategic location, to say the lest.
The manager, froglike
Mr. Jebitok, believes covert Klingons are responsible for theft, sabotage
and terrorism. Unmarked ships of Klingon design are skulking around the
system, Klingon agents sighted on Skellen. SF Admiral Tomlinson was informed,
but Kirk hasn’t heard about it. Bird of prey caught on freighter visual
recording.
The Klingons have
as much right to be here as Fed does. Why are they being so sneaky?
Fire-fang from Minott
6, one of the most dangerous creatures in the galaxy, four headed snake.
P15 Grax, Klingon
male, working with Ravia, a Nasgul, older sister of the Salla Vlagro. Ravia
is leader, Domine, of other, agricultural colony, on Skellen Three. Grax
supplies her with weapons.
Never keep me waiting
like that again. not unless you’ve got a better weapons supplier than me.
Next shipment in five
days. It’s not easy for Grax to get the stuff out of Klingon space.
Grax’s suppliers are
reliable, they are fellow Klingons who agree with Grax that the Empire
is diluting its blood hate of the Fed. We will build a new empire that
will sweep out the old order.
Grax’s bird of prey
is on the ground on Skellen, at Skellen docking facility, unbeknownst to
authorities.
Harry Mudd overhears
Grax and Ravia plotting conquest. Mudd escapes in his ship, pursued by
Grax in bird of prey. Enterprise rescues Mudd, fires at Grax, who withdraws.

container, with Klingon printing. Someone tried to obliterate it. ties
the Klingons in to whatever’s going on.
Commodore Khezri enters
Skellen system. Closing fast. Hails Enterprise.
Kirk – We know about
the sale o f Klingon weapons to troublemakers on Skellen 3. If this is
a prelude to a Klingon incursion
Khezri – The Empire
has no such plot in mind. Those weapons were stolen by a group of reactionary
renegades bent on replacing the Emperor and his council with a faction
more eager for war with the Federation. They sought to arm criminals like
Domine Ravia and form an unholy alliance. I can assure you that this scheme
has been terminated, along with those behind it. except for one individual
who you know as Starfleet Admiral Tomlinson. Tomlinson was a Klingon mole
planted inside Starfleet years ago, quite successfully I might add. He
turned and became a double agent working for the conspiracy against the
Emperor. We want him back so he can be dealt with.
38 Tomlinson, aka
Kerzuk, will receive Starfleet justice. Kerzuk has escaped true justice
for his crimes against the Empire.
Khezri has persuaded
Ravia to return the stolen weapons, she and her group will depart Skellen
in hours. Maria Martinez will take over the mining colony.

Debt of Honor
Christopher S Claremont

On the Genesis planet,
the Klingon captain seeks honor in his own death by taking a hated respected
enemy with him. That's their warrior way.
Kruge has Kirk's foot
in a grip tight enough to shatter bone.

Commander Mike Ford,
a cultural anthropologist specializing in the Klingons. top of his field.
Was injured en route here, to Enterprise-A in spacedock. Jamie Finney studied

in that area as well. Not anywhere near Mike Ford's league.
SD 4203.5
Post Doomsday Device,
SOS from near Romulan Neutral Zone.
Upper vessel is a
cruiser of Klingon design, roughly comparable in size and capability to
Enterprise. Exterior markings indicate it is Romulan. This is consistent
with intelligence reports of significant technology and equipment transfers
between the two empires. the other part of ship, attached under bridge
bulb, is its predecessor, a standard configuration bird of prey. Unsuccessful
encounter with Doomsday Device.
Post V'ger
Trio of heavy cruisers
taken out by V'ger. those targets suffered a complete mass to energy transmutation
before being absorbed into V'ger's data storage network.
The Enterprise retraces
V'ger's route, encounters debris, structural components of a Klingon dreadnought.
This appears to be residue of a more conventional confrontation. Aboard
Klingon vessel most impressive piece of technology, state of the Klingon
art. Huge power systems mated to standard engines, stacked lasing crystals,
a scanning array that's totally dedicated to fire control, contained within
a hull that's twice Enterprise size yet clearly designed for a minimal
crew and a rudimentary adaptation of the Romulan cloaking device. It's
a gun platform, too big and cumbersome for use in any fleet engagement,
only one thing it could be good for, blowing holes in planets, a terror
weapon. Pure and simple. Knowing the Klingons, not a deterrent, but a key
element of a preemptive, surprise first strike scenario.
Romulan intelligence
has been predicting for some while a growing schism between the two main
branches of the Klingon race. With those possessing a smooth cranium losing
status to their age-old rivals, who both Rom Empire and Federation have
been encountering more and more frequently of late, whose skull structure
is more articulated.
Klingons don't like
failure, even when it isn't their own fault.
The fact of the vessels
existence would cause Romulans to go to war without a moment's hesitation
and not stop until every last Klingon was eradicated.
The Klingons aren't
fools, they had to know that. They must have gambled that the fact of the
gunship's existence would be sufficient to deter any such response. For
all we know the Doomsday Device gave them the idea. The gunship was attacked
by creatures. We'll take full-spectrum schematics of the gun, a set for
Kirk and a set for Romulans. Let the Klingons know, and balance of terror.

Kor - To my ship and

stalking horse. The bait to lure our enemy into an attack. The lose of
the dreadnought during the V'ger encounter caused my people an irredeemable
disgrace. As a consequence, our rival Klingons gained ascendancy in the
High Council. And we, as a race, were discommoded. Banished to the farthest
reaches of the Empire, stripped of the right to call ourselves Klingon.
Stripped of our honor. The council will never rescind that order, the political
cost would be too great. But whatever they say we must know the truth.
My people must learn that we remain true to our birthright and heritage.
A debt of honor. The
place is Kor's.

With respect, Khalor,

speaking, human, you prove you know as little of prudence as your
coward's race does of the arts of war.

Jamie - Her challenge
left me no alternative, Commander.

to the occasion like a Klingon. I salute you. Of course you realize your
victory entitles you to assume Khadri's status and position aboard the
Revenge.

Khadri - you were
fairly challenged, I was fairly defeated. It is an honor to serve.
The Klingons are our
enemies but this is a golden opportunity to take a look at their culture
from the inside. Regardless of government policy, we need bridges built
between our two peoples.
The Klingons put up
a valiant fight against creatures. Enterprise beams Klingons to safety.
How dare you steal
us away from our comrades in the midst of honorable battle?!
Kirk and Kor's orders.
68 Hroth, Klingon
male - A human sentiment, unworthy of the moment and the man. It was Kor's
duty to remain with the Revenge protecting our withdrawal until he knew
all his crew were safe. But it shall not be forgotten that our officers
chose to stand with him. And that the female who had earned Khadri's place
chose to return to his side. It may be that you are not so spineless, weak
and degenerate a race as we have been taught. In honor, our captain pledged
our service in this enterprise. We shall not foreswear his memory.
Hroth - They will
bleed, these creatures who have claimed our ship and captain. By all we
hold holy, they will burn.
The Klingons have
edged weapons.
Kor and Finney and
his ship survive, pulled in to alien mothership.
Lt Finney in Klingon
uniform, Kor - she has brought honor to it and her name. Without her we
would not have survived this long.
The Klingons are restless.
They want to board the alien and show the critters a real fight.
The Scott's version
of the earlier Klingon cannon, and the detonation of the Revenge's antimatter
core, close rift in space critters are coming through.
Kor - Finney, there
is no risk, since the discommodation of my people, we have been assigned
to the farthest fringes of the Empire. it is the functional equivalent
of banishment. Physically our races are much the same. You could easily
pass for Klingon, albeit a small one. And you have already proven you possess
the courage of a warrior. You have my word, none of my crew will betray
you. What more perfect means to learn about us, and we about you, without
compromising the security of either state?
Kor, a decorated Klingon
fleet commander.
On my deck, boy, you
had best be prepared to back such insolence with steel.
Kor - Occasionally
a true commander must think in broader terms than the specifics of state
policy and interpret his oath of loyalty and duty in new, perhaps revolutionary
ways. consider this an opportunity, long overdue, for our races to get
to know one another. And perhaps take first fledgling step towards the
fulfillment of the Organian prophecy that one day the Fed and Empire would
be both allies and friends.

Raise the Defiant

SD 8544.9
A working phase inverter
would have eliminated the usefulness of any known cloaking technology.
The Defiant, SD 5693.2, was testing the new technology. The loss of the
Defiant caused Fed to abandon the phase inversion experiments. Could also
have revolutionized interstellar travel.
Theragan works by
deadening some nerve endings in the central nervous system. Won't work
against prolonged exposure of phase inversion. Theragan is a nerve gas
in its pure form, long term use could be dangerous. Intoxicating effects.
Romulan agent impersonates
Fed scientist Dr. Allison Juram. The Romulan Empire can not allow the Fed
to have the results of the interphase experiment. If she destroys the Enterprise
and the Defiant with the inverters on-line, the ripple effect will be catastrophic
for the Fed and the Tholians. The Tholians will blame the Fed, the resulting
war between the Tholians and the Fed will eventually lead to a Klingon
attack on a weakened Fed. When the time is right, the Romulan Empire will
seize power on a scale never before seen in the galaxy.

Deceptions! Part One
Coup d’etat.
Howard Weinstein writer.
Planet Mardelva, interested
in Fed affiliation is clearly prompted by their proximity to the Klingon
Empire. claim more frequent and increasingly hostile encounters with the
Klingons on neutral space. Mardelvan reputation for excellence in shipbuilding.
Their vessels can take on anyone, Starfleet or Klingons. too small to match
the resources of a whole empire, especially an empire willing to incite
violence right here on this planet. We think the Klingons have been arming
and encouraging terrorists. Incidents have been on the rise, concurrent
with encounters in space. The Mardelvan reactionaries don’t think the Fed
is willing to confront Klingon expansionism, replace it with one favoring
a Klingon alliance.
Spock – Knowing the
Klingon propensity for mischief, I would not rule out Klingon involvement
on Mardelva.
Kirk - Mardelvan Sector,
uncomfortably close to Klingon territory.
Four Klingon birds
of prey decloak around Enterprise.
Kirk – shields up,
yellow alert.
Uhura – The Klingon
group commander is signaling us.
Klaa – Well, well,
Vixis, it is the illustrious Captain Kirk. The renegade, trapped once again.
Kirk – All Klingons
look alike to me. have we met before?
Klaa – you insolent
pig! I am Klaa, the warrior who hunted you down beyond the great Galactic
Barrier!
Kirk – As I recall,
I got away.
Klaa – You risk much,
Kirk. I have not forgotten the disgrace you caused me.
Vixis – Here in open
space no one would blink twice if we destroyed you.
Klaa – Your very presence
here is an act of hostility, Kirk. You stray dangerously close to violating
our defense perimeter. Consider this fair warning!
Vixis – Provoke the
Klingon Empire at your peril!
Klaa – As long as
you remain in this vicinity, you will be watched. Do not test us!
Kirk – We’ve got a
distress call to answer. So, unless you want to be remembered as the latest
Klingon captain to lose his ships by inciting an interplanetary incident,
you’d better get out of my way.
Star Trek 47
Late May 1993
Deceptions! Part Two.
Howard Weinstein writer.
The Klingons are interested
in Mardelva because of reputation for superior shipbuilding. Their new
EX-300, about the size of a bird of prey. A cloaking device that’s three
times as effective as the best Klingons and Romulans have, using fifty
percent less power.
To be blunt the Fed
has never taken to Klingon threat to Mardelva seriously. Perhaps the rebels
are taking the stolen EX-300 to the Klingons. if the Klingons get their
hands on this new technology, it will tip the balance of power in their
favor, perhaps irrevocably.
Starfleet Command
is forced to agree with the Mardelvans, the Enterprise will take all possible
steps to keep the EX-300 out of Klingon hands. Bring it back or destroy
it.
Klaa taps his fingers
on command chair armrest.
Klaa thinks – What
a shame I can only kill Kirk once.
Klaa – I was considering
strategy.
Vixis – How to kill
Kirk again?
Battlecrusier de-cloaks
off port stern. Commodore Khezri. Klaa and Vixis transport over to Khezri.
Klaa – We are surprised
to see you, sir. to what do we owe this visit?
Khezri – Your report
on your encounter with Kirk.
Klaa – You came all
this way to compliment us, sir?
Khezri – More like
reprimand. Do you have any idea why Kirk and his ship are even here?
Klaa – No, sir.
Khezri - Hasn’t
it occurred to you that might be important to know?
Klaa – Yes, Commodore.
Khezri – With more
stealth and less bluster, you may find out. And with luck, you will live
to make more such mistakes. We have never paid much attention to these
Mardelvans before, perhaps that is my mistake.
Klaa shocked at this
admission.
Long-range sensors
show the Enterprise leaving Mardelva.
Khezri – Ahh, so the
game resumes. You have a chance to redeem yourself, Klaa. Kirkis after
something, I want to know what it is before he finds it.
Klaa runs out.
Klaa overhears Kirk
regarding the EX-300.
Klaa – We face not
only the Enterprise my love, but a new lethal and ruthless enemy, as well.
Vixis – Yet we must
be cautious. Khezri must have no excuse to damage your career.
Klaa – Would you have
me back away from our adversaries?
Vixis - Never,
my love. But we must engage when it is best for us. My hunger must be satisfied!
Klaa – And now, Vixis,
my blood runs hot.
Klaa and Vixis had
feast, brown animal carcass, purple octopus, violet tubers, russet potatoes,
blue cranberry sauce. Use d’k tagh, small ax, and triangular four prong
forks. Skulls and weapons on walls of quarters and an animal skin.
Klaa – I’ve always
hated battle on an empty stomach!
Vixis – So I have.
A well-fed warrior is a strong warrior.
Klaa’s ship intercepts
another message for Enterprise.
The EX-300, after
attacking another Mardelvan outpost, heads for Klingon space. Enterprise
heads directly for Klingon space.
Klaa cloaks, sets
course to intercept, two enemies for the price of one. If Kirk so much
as brushes a toe into Klingon territory, he and his ship will be reduced
to space dust!
Klaa and Vixis wear
communicators on upper arms with narrow bands. Klaa’s is square, on right
arm, Vixis, triangular, on left.

Klaa dreams of destroying
Kirk and Enterprise, after he has accepted Kirk’s surrender.
Vixis in dream – Show
no mercy, my love.
Klaa – Time to restore
my honor. Victory is ours.
Klaa had his d’k tagh
sheathed at his neck.
Vixis kicks dreaming
Klaa out of bed. She told him she would if he blew up the Enterprise in
his sleep one more time! Furs, sheets, mattress, pillows.
Klaa – I’m sick of
Kirk haunting me. I’ve got to get him.
Vixis – Patience,
my love! All in good time.
Third Mardelvan outpost
destroyed by stolen ship headed for Klingon space.
The EX-300 is found
waiting right on the edge of Klingon territory. Once the EX-300 crosses
into Klingon territory, Enterprise can’t go after it without starting an

Part Two: The Conclusion
Howard Weinstein writer
P10 Evad, Klingon
female with Shopay, Koob, and mixed crew of rebel Aegis agents trying to
take Federation prototype protomatter weapon. An agent, like Gary Seven,
for the Aegis. The Aegis chooses agents from all over, humans aren’t the
only species capable of getting themselves into trouble. They’ve decided
that what the Aegis doe is wrong. They are free to leave, but they also
want to destroy the Aegis. They are fanatics, intent on undoing everything
the Aegis has ever done. Civilization as we know it could disappear. Lots
of Aegis interventions have failed, however well-intentioned, made things
worse instead of better.
Evad – No one is wise
enough to meddle this way, not even the Aegis.
The Aegis wanted to
prevent Starfleet abrupt abandonment of the protomatter project. The Thevosians
would
have eventually sold it to the Romulans, who would have used it to attack
the Klingons, eventually dragging the Fed into a galactic war.
Evad starts to strangle
Chekov when she thinks he lied about the ship being operational.
The Aegis rebels are
remanded to Gary Seven’s custody, sent home for trial.

Something in the Klingons’
past seems to have been changed.
Spock, Lt. Worf and
David Marcus view original Klingon history and the current altered timeline
from Guardian of Forever.
Lt. Worf gardens fresh
fruit on Enterprise.
Worf – Imagine if
someone told you that you were completely different, for thousands of years
you and all your ancestors ate your young! They were not the poets an scientists
and builders that I know as Klingons.

McCoy – Klingons are
as devoted to honor and duty as anybody in the galaxy.
Klingon Ambassador
Kor, a renowned scholar of his homeworld’s history has joined Spock to
review the Guardian’s records of the past.
P14 Khartan must be
the key. He is revered as the leader who unified our society and set us
on the road to peace. 650 years ago. His funeral. More a celebration than
a dirge, he lived long and well, expired in his sleep. And left a foundation
of peace that has lasted to this day.
In the correct timeline,
Khartan was assassinated at mid-life, with Klingon society poised at the
brink of a peace treaty that was never meant to be. His death shattered
all possibility of peaceful unity. A forty year civil war initiated the
brutal lineage leading to contemporary Klingon empire.
Illustration of Klingons

To the Klingon people,
the Khartan that lived to old age was earth’s Christ, Thomas Jefferson,
Abraham Lincoln and Chiang Shih all in one, savior, leader, father figure.
P17 there was a conspiracy,
led by Zorjak, the chief of Khartan’s palace guard. A warrior apparently
determined to preserve his place in a society he feared was about to change
drastically. The murder happened during the annual festival of honor, a
traditional harvest celebration dating back to ancient times.
To save the Romulan
people from genocide, this Khartan must die. Ironic is it not. That a peacemaker
will have to die to set time to rights?
The correct timeline
has the Fed and the Roms and the Klingons constantly on the verge of war.
P21 Chairman K’Uda
- The Klingon Confederation cherishes itts ties to the Fed and its people.
We cherish the peace we share. But the billions of lives lost in a conflict
that should not have happened cannot be dismissed as abstract. Therefore,
and will great reluctance, the council concurs with the recommendations
of Captain Spock and Ambassador Kor, an effort must be made to reestablish
the original timeline.

Call Back Yesterday
Writer: Howard Weinstein
SD 8526.8
Worf feels guilty
about Khartan, killing a great Klingon leader, ending a reign of peace
before it could begin. Duty and honor now seem hollow concepts. I despise
what I did. Our mission failed.
Despite the death
of Khartan, the correct timeline has not been restored. Kor and Spock spent
the entire trip back to earth trying to figure out what went wrong. Those
tampering with time have changed more than one event.
P4 They have found
that Azeek the Potent was never born. A Klingon warlord, supposed t have
been born some 400 years ago. Potent refers to his ability to avoid warfare,
fathered 24 sons. Azeek’s sons and their heirs had more taste for battle
than their patriarch. They established a lineage of leadership that led
eventually to the bellicose Klingon Empire.
P6 the assassination
of a particularly brutal Klingon leader named Baraga, some 200 years after
Khartan’s death. Saving Baraga will restore proper time. Had Khartan not
been assassinated , Baraga would not have been risen to power. Ambassador
Kor has researched the details. after Khartan’s assassination came two
centuries of chaos, petty tyrants in a succession of wars, until Baraga
took power five hundred years ago, a tyrant whose bloodlust exceeded all
who’d ruled before him. With the first modern war machines, he was the
first Klingon despot with a real chance to conquer the entire planet, until
his own death in a sabotaged flyer. After he was killed he became a martyr,
a savage holocaust was launched against his opponents. his successors did
not foresee the popular uprising against them, against the death and destruction.
They were overthrown, the healing began, the second chance for peace was
not wasted. But that was the wrong timeline. Baraga escaped assassination,
his oppressive rule continued until he was overthrown in undemocratic fashion.
No reign of terror, no backlash. Klingon society went on to evolve into
a brutal but viable 23rd century interstellar empire.
SD 8530.1 Klingons

P16 Admiral K’Uda
– Kor! What are you doing in Fed space?! You’re supposed to be patrolling
the Ga’chuk sector!
Kirk - Even the Klingon
government wouldn’t be foolhardy enough to try altering time for strategic
advantage.
Divak – I’ve watched
our Empire grow feeble and impotent, a few years ago, an imbecile like
Gorkon the Coward would have been killed before he could do damage. Now
his faction gains allies, he may even rule one day. pursuing peace overtures
with your Federation. The Romulans have always believed as de we strongest
of the Klingon people, that peace grows from power, and power grows from
the end of a weapon.
We few Klingons with
clear sight joined with a small band of Romulans bold enough to go along
with our plan.
And what tribble brained
plan was that?
If the Klingon people
no longer had the stomach for battle, we set out to give them the peace
they whimpered for so spinelessly. By changing history, and creating an
alternate reality where two weak peace-loving societies, the Klingons and
the Federation, could be defeated by a single strong one decided to conquest.
We will try again.
No one speaks for
Kor!
If we do not act now,
K’Uda, at best, you and I and the entire Klingon leadership will wind up
on Rura Penthe, with the poorest of accommodations, I assure you. At worst,
we may bring about the immediate destruction of the Klingon Empire for
now and all time to come.
