In this issue, we speak with several Klingons, and find out more about how they were reimagined for Star Trek: Discovery. Kenneth Mitchell fills us in on Discovery’s snarling villain Kol, while we have a jolly time with Next Generation and Deep Space Nine stalwarts Robert O’Reilly (the fabulous Gowron) and J.G. Hertzler (grizzled warrior Martok).

We also delve into Kirk-era Klingon history, and take a closer look at “Errand of Mercy” – the Klingons’ very first appearance on screen. And there’s not a tribble in sight.
