The Klingons (/ˈklɪŋ(É¡)É'n/ KLING-(g)on; Klingon: tlhIngan
[ˈt͡ɬɪŋÉ'n]) are a fictional species in the science fiction
franchise Star Trek.Developed by screenwriter Gene L. Coon in 1967 for
the original Star Trek (TOS) series, Klingons were swarthy humanoids
characterized by prideful ruthlessness and brutality. Klingons
practiced feudalism and authoritarianism, with a warrior caste relying
on slave labor. With a greatly expanded budget for makeup and effects,
the Klingons were completely redesigned for Star Trek: The Motion
Picture (1979), acquiring ridged foreheads. In subsequent television
series and in later films, the militaristic traits of the Klingons
were bolstered by an increased sense of honor and strict warrior code
similar to those of bushido.Klingons are recurring antagonists in the
1960s television series Star Trek, and have appeared in all subsequent
series, along with ten of the Star Trek feature films. Initially
intended to be antagonists for the crew of the USS Enterprise, the
Klingons became a close ally of humanity in Star Trek: The Next
Generation. In the 1990s series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, humans and
Klingons join with the Romulans to fight the Dominion.Among the
elements created for the revised Klingons was a complete Klingon
language, developed by Marc Okrand from gibberish suggested by actor
James Doohan. Spoken Klingon has entered popular culture, even to the
extent that some of the works of William Shakespeare and parts of the
Bible have been translated into it. A dictionary, a book of sayings,
and a cultural guide to the language have been published. According to
the Guinness World Records, Klingon is the world's most popular
fictional language as measured by number of speakers. Klingon Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
