To be fair on #9, most of that footage is from DS9, which has the highest concentration of badass in the Federation. The Sisko, Don't Fuck With, has decked gods and made them thank him for the privilege. Dax is a three hundred year old sword master. Kira has been a resistance fight since she was a child. Odo is a shapeshifter and just flat better than Klingons physically. O'Brian is a veteran and hero of the first war with Cardasia. Bashir is Khan but a good guy. Last but not least we have Garak who is just a humble tailor who certainly didn't threaten to kill me if I said anything else about him.

Yep. Klingons are, on average, even more in military, superior in every way to Starfleet anyone. The fact that those Starfleet people fought off Klingons as if they were peers or inferior is not a mark of shame to Klingons, it's a mark of pride to those who defeated them... a task that most non-Klingons would be killed by. Klingons are not just mindless warriors, they are pragmatic. They respect superior warriors, it's actually part of their culture. The Klingon Empire have far more warships with heavy weapons than the Federation could ever muster after the Federation realized they needed to break out of their delusion of "no warship" thing into deciding they needed warships. I find it odd that, except for the Defiant, Starfleet was really slow to build (and-or alter) more Starfleet ships in a more warship fashion. I mean, even the Oberth, a modular science vessel, could easily be a Federation Destroyer or Frigate because of energy output alone that could charge weapons/shields in said modification.

*Lieutenant Ezri Dax:* I tend to look at the Empire with a little more skepticism than Curzon or Jadzia did. I see a society that is in deep denial about itself. We're talking about a warrior culture that prides itself on maintaining centuries-old traditions of honor and integrity. But in reality, it's willing to accept corruption at the highest levels. *Lt. Commander Worf:* You are overstating your case. *Lieutenant Ezri Dax:* Am I? Who was the last leader of the High Council that you respected? Has there even been one? And how many times have you had to cover up the crimes of Klingon leaders because you were told that it was for the good of the Empire? I... I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is, you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example. Worf, you are the most honorable and decent man that I've ever met. And if *you're* willing to tolerate men like Gowron, then what hope is there for the Empire? *Ezri pointed this out after saying:* That the Empire was dying, and it deserved to die. She had given it 300 years tops. And with her seven lifetimes of experience, one of which included as a man that lived and fought alongside Klingon warriors, she had the perspective to make this analysis. And the skill to beat the crap out of most Klingons as she was also _very_ experienced in Klingon martial arts. The irony is what saves the Klingon Empire is the Federation, who eventually absorb it, thereby contributing to both societies. The Klingons provide some passion and resilience that the uptight Federation is lacking, and physically they are very robust, immune to the _phage_ for example, and having a complete backup set of internal organs. While the other Starfleet species can cover for the shortcomings of Klingons - *Martog* himself preferred Dr Julian Bashir to treat him as Klingon doctors where not as skilled. He stated that human doctors and engineers were superior to Klingons in their area of expertise. And other species could help Klingons reach a higher potential, specifically Vulcans and their training in emotional control that helped *B'lanna.* And that leads to the other big change, humans, being human, within a generation they're are going to be a lot of Klingon/Human hybrids. Also I have a theory that humans subconsciously keep aliens around to make themselves act ethically, they don't want to shame the species in front of others. Look at what happened when the *Equinox* had an all human crew [ethics crimes]. Having to live around different species may force Klingons to not just give lip service to honour, but to actually abide by it. After all, the one Klingon who grew up around aliens is the most honorable one of the lot. With a bit of Klingon blood in the mix, finally the over controlling passivity inherited by the Vulcan patronage may be tempered with some fire.

Some generally really good points there but I'd respectfully disagree about why aliens are kept around. It's more likely to try and get different perspectives on problems and to have a wider array of skillsets/adaptations around. I'd bet if the Equinox crew were anything but mostly Vulcan (and even then without knowing the full ramifications when they started experimenting they might have started too, but then probably would have allowed themselves to be destroyed instead of risking taking phase shifting aliens back to the federation) the same thing would have happened.

+casbott Honestly, it might not be as bad as we think it is considering our view comes from the Federation (those pompous, moralistic idealists).I mean we never see any cultural problems with them and their government despite human nature being a thing and the fact that multipule cultures living together must produce SOME tension. Diversity is not a strength unless you sterilize other cultures and their values. But what I think the Klingons need three important things: 1.) A unifying purpose: each Klingon house is just doing their own thing. Had they all an enemy to fight, a directive, or something similar then the Klingons would be an even greater force then they are now. 2.) A revitalization of their culture: their ways don't need to be replaced. They just need some spit-shine and updates on them. A few technological additions here and there, a renewal of interests in upholding their conservative values, a few integrated practices from other xeno-I mean- aliens with a Klingon flair, and etc and they'll be good. Adding personalized shields and adding energy to their blades while enhancing their running is a good example. 3.) A figure that inspires them: Basically, more Martuks. Seeing that they have 1 out of three I'd say they have a good start. They are one of my favorite races in ST even if I'm a SW fan.

The Klingon Imperial Defense Forces actually have multiple special ops programs. And while they may not be concerned with personal security, their operational security is exceptional. Also, the boarding parties of the Klingons often feature their most expendable and unexperienced fighters; dying in Battle gets you to Sto'Vo'Kor, surviving gets you a chance to challenge your commanding officer and take his place. Also, challenging your CO isn't the only way to advance in the Klingon Imperial Defense Forces. Your CO needs to be incompetent, cowardly, or a traitor (which is the same in Klingon culture) for you to challenge them, this is a method of ensuring discipline and loyalty from the bottom up. Basically, if you allow your crew to mutiny against you, it's your own damned fault

Remember that Klingon first contact was an alien invasion by the Hur'q. They were able to gain warp drive from the encounter and eventually evicted the Hur'q but it colored everything about how the Klingons view space. Part of the point of the Klingon Empire is just to be a buffer between Qo'nos and possibly hostile worlds. In other words the best defense, is a good offense.

The Klingon Bird of Prey is something of an odd classification. As not all of them were necessarily "small." In TNG, the Klingons had also build other classes of Bird of Prey that were substantially larger than those built in TOS. There is an episode in which Picard and the Enterprise D are dealing with a sort of standoff on the Romulan neutral zone and calls in for help from the Klingons, who send a few Birds of Prey that appear to be of comparable size to the Enterprise D... They were smaller, but not by much. Which would mean that particular class would be bigger than the Enterprise A.

I actually think the Klingon ship design (and by extension the fleet) is pretty good. Their ships work like WW2 submarines able to perform powerful first strikes against unsuspecting targets even more so than the Romulans. Their disruptors make a lot of sense here because they can use their cloak to attack unshielded targets. Hence why this is not really a disadvantage. Though everything about their society sucks so if you want to take that into account they are quite weak. Though maybe you should not since this is about the fleet after all other than that directly impacting their fighting ability like their ridiculous reliance on melee weapons in boarding and their occasional senseless charges in combat. An advantage for the fleet would be the fact that they would basically never route which is not really the case for any other factions in this match up.

@Hamsammich614
@Hamsammich614 5 жыл бұрын
I disagree. An alpha strike style of attack (cloak-hit-run) is their biggest weakness. You might take out a single unsuspecting ship but, it wont win a battle. In order to cloak after the initial strike, you have to drop your shields. Whats worse? Their disruptor arrays are forward facing. Forcing them to engage in strafing runs and leaving their ships open to fire while coming about for follow up passes. Compared the nearly 360 degree coverage that a star fleet phaser array would offer, the bird of prey is at a tactical disadvantage at almost all times.

@@Hamsammich614 Well the idea is that when you're attacking its against easy prey, but when its a combat rdy opponent to bank at an angle and try to keep the beams off you until you cloak, instead of just going straight... If need be you can pivot and come about to fire again without going to cloak, but this is dangerous since the longer without cloak the more chance the enemy vessel has of hitting your aging vessel and causing it to break down...

And yet you’re just as likely to boil alive if spaced without a suit. That’s because while it’s cold (only a few degrees above absolute zero), there is also no gaseous or solid medium to transfer heat from your body. Heat still radiates, but very slowly. That’s why ships have to worry about overheating rather than freezing in space. Vacuum also lowers the boiling point of liquids, causing water and blood to start evaporating.

@Dcard Dcardian look don't get me wrong many of their points are usually very inaccurate and pointing out flaws or advantages that don't seem to be aspects of navel strength. For example I am not sure how having censorship and suppressing certain ideas really affects navel strategy seeing as some of the most powerful armies in history, The Red Army, The Whermact and the Roman Army all had very strict control of ideas either in their entirety or at particular points. And some of histories greatest generals such as Erwin Rommel and Georgy Zhukov actually thrived in such settings. But to be honest it is amusing for me to point out the mistakes in their analysis and how their humanity first attitudes are little more than a light facade of specisim against the iron fisted fanaticism of the Imperial Creed.

TBH their knowledge of the various genres is a little casual. Lore Reloaded is probably one of the most knowledgeable people about Star Trek on KZbin, and even he gets certain things wrong. Usually because of his own biases. Spacedock and Templin Institute are probably the most accurate for a channel that covers a wide range of fiction. They look like they do a lot of research beforehand and barely ever get anything wrong.

#7 "Too many smaller ships"????? WTF Klingons use tried and TRUE methods that they know WILL work. Klingons use only a handful of classes, keep things simple, and can easily repair their ships if required. The Federation on the other hand.... has like 30 to 50 different Starship classes (many of which experimental). It is a supply, and logistics NIGHTMARE! Seriously, who thought that was a good idea? Even Miles O'Brien commented on how hard is it to get replacement parts for ships (which made Captain Sisko frustrated).

Its a quality vs quantity kind of thing... The main point being they haven't really made any new ship designs (the MMO isn't included) and are constantly just revamping really old designs, which granted are easy to maintain and produce but are becoming as effective as a M5 Stuart light tank would be against a Tiger or Maus tank, even their larger vessels are starting to age and lose their edge... A ship is only 100% effective when its right off the production line which is pretty much how starfleet rolls, they may have insane number of experimental ship designs but they build one, test it, correct the problems that crop up and then make the final changes to the design blueprint and build a set number of vessels within a set time frame and then assign captains or promote new ones if need be and assign crew in a timely manner, happy that they've built a quality ship for a decent crew. As far logistics are concerned, it depends on how far away you're operating from a starbase or a shipyard or production center which determines how difficult it is to be supplied, BOTH Federation and Klingon Empire had supply issues the further out they stretched, the Klingon Empire exceedingly so with all the internal strife, the supply point your BOP just resupplied at might not be there when you return due to being destroyed by a rival House...

In regards to having no special operations I would ask you to review the TOS episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" or the Deep Space Nine sequel I believe called "More troubles more Tribbles" or possibly "Trails and Tribble-ations" (been a long time since I've seen the episode) pls pay special attention to the character of Darvin. As I recall he was a Klingon (presumably an intelligence officer) who underwent extensive reconstructive surgery to enable him to appear as a human for purposes of infiltration. Can't believe that was the one and only time they pulled that trick. Discovery notwithstanding. Keep up the great work! Liked and subscribed! Cheers.

The Klingon Empire is a good model for Japan shortly before and during WWII. The leaders were political but not capable, leadership was divided and often worked at cross-purposes, their technology was superior to many other nations in the beginning but they failed to adapt to later changes in military tech. Their culture supported a strong military ethic, the noble death in combat etc but it also meant that most of their experienced leaders died early. This left very few experienced officers to train the next generation. By the end of the war, Japanese pilots knew how to take off, fly straight and level, and attack. Dog-fighting over enemy fleets became a turkey-shoot.

Interesting fact, the cloaking device coming from the Romulans is a unbased supposition. We never see a Klingon ship cloak in the TOS, ever. In the episode 'The Enterprise Incident' the Enterprise crossed the Romulan neutral zone and is stopped and surrounded by 3 Romulan ships of which 2 are the Klingon D7/K'Tinga class. When they de-cloak, Scotty shouts 'That's a Klingon ship!' to which Spock replies 'Confirmation, Romulans now using Klingon design'. The reason for this was that the episode called for the Enterprise to be surrounded, out-numbered and out-gunned. However, the show only had 1 Romulan model (no CGI back then) and couldn't afford to make more so they re-used two klingon models by painting a Romulan wing design on their wings. Obviously the assumption is that the Empire made some sort of deal with the Romulans. However they could have simply sold their ships to them (just like the US sell their F-16s to other countries). Then all of a sudden, TNG comes round and Klingon ships cloak. No explanation. So people made the conclusion that Romulans traded the cloaking technology for ships. This explanation is however strictly non-canon. It was never confirmed by any characters on the shows (TNG, DS9, VOY) or production staff off-screen. The idea is frankly ridiculous. Would Romulans trade their most guarded strategic technology for a few pieces of hardware? Would the UK teach Saudi Arabia how to build nuclear missiles in exchange for oil? Dont' think so lol If we stick to canon, the Klingon empire has a cloaking device but we have no idea how they acquired it.
@3Rayfire
@3Rayfire 3 жыл бұрын
Not entirely. The original script for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock had Captain Kruge steal a Bird of Prey from the Romulans so he could go to the Genesis planet using their cloaking device. However cuts along the way meant that that mission was excised from the film, the problem being the new Romulan Bird of Prey design was already completed and in fabrication, so they just rolled with it as a new Klingon ship, with a cloaking device. Every prequel series of course chose to ignore most of that though, going back to Enterprise Klingons had the classic Bird of Prey design even though the nomenclature started out as signature Romulan. That led to the theory that Romulans got Klingon ships with faster warp drives and the Klingons got the cloaking device in trade. The only thing that even comes close to confirmation is Worf's assertion in _The Neutral Zone_ that the Romulans attacked Khitomer when they were supposed to be their allies. Even then the time frame is way off. Not that different periods of alliance or cooperation isn't possible, just that it does nothing for the argument.

klingons may have had a tech disadvantage compared to romulans and federation but their ships were designed to be quick mass produced war machines and klingons due to their considering of a death in battle is honourable had no issues with suicide runs to take an enermy out with them, also their crude weapons did horrendous damage, energy weapons tended to be precison hits and only rpoved fatal if hit in a major area were as klingon bladed weapons could disembowl, decapitate or dismember causing death by blood lose so klingons could rampage in tight starbase or star ship corridors and the other races who tended to be ranged weapon reliant rarely had any close range weapons to defend with add to that the redundent organs klingons had and their brute strength and klingons were leathal if they got close enough to an enermy to get in to bladed weapon range, nearly every single organ a klingon had including the spinal coloumn had a secondary back up.

correction the Klingons did indeed have a secret intelligence service; only mentioned once offhand in the TV series but more often in the books called the "Shadow Legion" and in the books are painted as a brutal league of assassins of which are rarely talked about due to the fact that it is their purpose to be unseen and unheard, their very existence itself was a closely guarded secret. Unlike the Romulans or the Cardassians whom used their own as enforcers and made them 'infamous' the klingons believed a secret force should remain secret.

It meant museum pieces were still used to fight battles.

I don't think that the Star Trek TV shows or movies ever brought this point up but I used to play the board game Star Fleet Battles and there was a very major flaw with the Klingon fleet brought out in that game. There weren't enough Klingons to completely man their warships and there were tasks on board which the Klingons would have found too demeaning or odious to do themselves. For these tasks each vessel actually carried a fairly substantial compliment of alien conscripts (read:slaves) to manage. As a result of this each vessel had various security stations throughout the ship to maintain control of the conscripts. If those security stations could be neutralized then (at least in Star Fleet Battles) there was a significant risk that the conscript crew would revolt, taking the ship out of the battle, at least temporarily. Also, the security stations were manned by Klingons which meant that the full Klingon compliment was never actually available for other actions.

Klingons would usually only challenge for a superior role if they had support to do so - or if their superior officer was seen as incompetent, a Klingon who just killed an officer who was like by the crew would find they might "have an accident" or be unsupported in combat - they'd basically not get any back up in a fight and be at risk of being killed more easily as well as some Klingon Houses would quite likely hire an assassin to have someone killed if they went and killed their heir for a weak reason or even challenge them themselves. Also loyalty would be rewarded too - a vessel's commander might recommend a 1st officer for a ship of their own or sing their praises to high command increasing their chances of transfer to another ship at a higher rank - killing your superior is more a way to get rid of lousy leadership than it is to succeed in every situation. Klingon do actually like each other - they don't go around randomly murdering each other on a whim - unless they are less than stellar examples of their race - but bad leadership and a lust for combat can lead to issue that can not lead to a well run ship. perhaps over all The Federation runs their ships poorly in some ways and the Klingons poorly in others. There is politics to consider too - if you 1st officer was the son of your patron you are going to try to keep him alive and teach him to be a good officer. if it turns out he's a bad apple then you would want to get rid of him as quickly as possible - but in a non-fatal way. Or even identify if they are actually good at something else. Klingon Culture is kinda cyclical and sometimes is very aggressive and expansionist and other times quite insular. Also the people we see are Political and Miltary types - if you are a Klingon Agronomist then you likely think in very different ways. The principles of Honor would be applied in a less violent way by attacking life - buy doing what you do with zeal. that would be the way they express honor - So I fully expect there is a significant portion of the Klingon Population that do not want to got Stovakor at all - they'd likely have a completely different idea. But Star Trek is kinda poor at showing this - but I'd recommend novels like The Final Reflection, The Vulcan Academy Murders and the IDIC epidemic and even a Flag Full of Stars that show more nuance for Star Trek's Alien races than an under developed Space Viking you see on TNG. We see Worf have a complex emotional life - so why the heck wouldn't all Klingon have such complexities too ? It's kinda a form of racial profiling to show them as angry thugs. or jokes.

10:30 Technically, the Federation _didn't_ have section 31. They had Starfleet Intelligence. If you're going to compare something to the Tal Shiar/ Obsidian Order, it would be Starfleet Intelligence. Section 31 was a secret organisation, not a recognised (even if still restricted) national agency. Also, Starfleet Int. and Sec. 31 had very different objectives. You need a report on enemy activity/ personal proclivities of politicians/ etc..., you read Starfleet Intelligence reports. If you need a convoluted plan, where a friendly Romulan politician is disgraced and arrested by the Tal Shiar, so she won't pose a threat to the Federation in the future, and you need to do it in such a way as to discredit any mention of section 31, then it's section 31 who does the dirty work (I'm sure you know the DS9 episode I'm referring to).

I've often felt that Praxis would be a good explination for why there are still old B'rel and K'Tinga class ships flying in the TNG era and even upto the Dominion war. It took so long to repair the damage that not only did old ships have to be kept in service long past their prime but they probably had to keep building old designs, the Vor'cha, when it shows up in TNG may even be the first new design they've constructed since Praxis blew up. Of cause irl it was just paramount being too cheap to pay for new ship models, hence why Starfleet is still using Excelsior class ships, but it's a nice piece of head canon for me. :)

To be fair - Dax (The Trill) has hundreds of years behind them (Symbiote & Trill), and since one of those lives was deeply into Klingon Tradition, and not to mention another was an Infamous Assassin, those Klingons were facing someone that could be equaled to fighting Kahless. Basically, they stood no chance against Dax. It was further compounded by the fact that Jedzea (no idea if I spelled her name right) was also married to Worf who was also quite the expert in hand to hand combat and frequently trained with him. And also, what can a Melee weapon do to a Changling? Nothing. They'd have to shoot him to do any actual damage, otherwise trying to punch, kick, head butt, body slam, or stab would be utterly pointless. Personally I wonder why Odo even bothers, they can't hurt him. Course that clip could've been when his "Changling" status was taken away, but he's fought people even when he was a Changling - he could just wrap his body around them and strangle them til they pass out. And like others have mentioned, most of those boarding party Klingon members are expendable & typically just there to achieve their first glory in battle. Now if they were more like Martok, then their losses would be rare than common.

It's amazing the Klingons were even able to advance enough to even obtain space flight little lone FTL (Faster Than Light) travel.

As for as Klingons being bested by a female Trill, to be fair, Jadzia Dax had training in Klingon Martial Arts from her previous host Kurzon Dax In addition, Odo was able to Shift his form to allow any of the Klingons blade weapons to pass right through him
