'''Emperor: Kahless II (2369) Chancellor: Martok (2375) Capital: First City, Qo'noS Official language: Klingon (sometimes called Klingonese), (see: universal translator) Currency: darsek Klingons (Klingon:tlhIngan) are a warrior race of humanoids in the fictional Star Trek universe. They were recurring antagonists in The Original Series (TOS) and later became the uneasy allies of the United Federation of Planets. They were introduced in the episode Errand of Mercy (1967). Klingons were created by Gene Coon. They were named for Lieutenant Wilbur Clingan, who served with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry in the Los Angeles Police Department.Alexander, David (1994), Star Trek Creator

Klingon biology


Roughly humanoid in appearance, Klingons typically sport long manes of luxuriant hair with moustaches and beards common among males. Perhaps their most prominent external feature is their ridged forehead. These intricate, bony patterns, which are also visible on their feet, vary by family line and are an evolutionary remnant of their prehistoric crustacean forms, when Klingons had a more extensive exoskeleton. "Genesis" (TNG, 1994)

In the original series they were typically portrayed with bronze skin and facial hair suggestive of North Asian peoples such as the Mongols (in fact, Gene Coon's only physical description of them in his Errand of Mercy script is "Oriental, hard-faced"). In The Motion Picture, the Klingons were "reimagined" or retconned and were depicted with ridged foreheads, new uniforms, and a distinctive language. Gene Roddenberry said the movie era Klingons are closer to his original vision, but could not be realized in a low-budget television show.
