Star Trek Online Klingon Battle Song

Dying like a boss 101. Sang his ass into Sto'vo'kor

[@jiyu9694]

And probably was denied entry for dying stupidly, wastefully, and accomplishing nothing but failure. If he had any chance of success, it would have been noble. But it didn't, he was warned it didn't, and so it wasn't. He wasted his life accomplishing nothing, and that's not an act of a warrior deserving entry into Sto'vo'kor.

[@KierrokCyclone]

@@jiyu9694 Not true, it's literally said like seconds after, he caused massive damage to the Doomsday Machine. It wasn't enough to destroy it, but it gave others a chance to fight. It definitely got him a seat in Sto'Vo'Kor.

[@jiyu9694]

@@KierrokCyclone It doesn't matter what the fan-made video said, it's not canon and is incorrect. The Planet Killer first appeared in the TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine." In that episode, Commodore Matthew Decker tried this exact same strategy, piloting a shuttlecraft into the mouth of the machine and exploding the warp engines, and it was absolutely USELESS, not damaging the machine AT ALL. The only effect was to slightly reduce the machine's power output temporarily. It took the force produced by exploding the warp engines of an entire Constellation Class starship (the same as the Enterprise) inside the Planet Killer to disable it. That's ST canon, and is why this idiot Klingon's attempt was doomed to failure from the start. It had been tried before, and it failed, so we know for a fact a shuttlecraft's engines aren't powerful enough to damage a Planet Killer by exploding inside it. I appreciate the skill and effort the maker of this video put into it (well done!), but if you're going to make a story about an existing thing, you need to do better research about that thing to make sure you get the facts right. An entire Federation or Klingon Cruiser could have done the job, but not a tiny shuttle. My advice is to revise the video and have the Klingon steal an entire battle cruiser to try this with, and THAT would be a plausible story.

@@michaelgreenwood3413 It doesn't matter that the video says so, it's nonsense because the video is not canon and it contradicts established canon from the actual TV show. The original ST series episode that INVENTED the Planet Killer established that a shuttle's engines don't have enough antimatter to damage a Planet Killer - a character in that TV episode tried it with a shuttle and it didn't work, producing no damage to the machine at all. The episode showed that it takes a LOT more antimatter to be successful, because it required exploding an entire Starship identical to the Enterprise inside the Planet Killer to stop it. A puny little shuttle simply isn't enough. Go stream the TOS episode "Doomsday Machine" or read the description of the episode I linked to on Wikipedia and you'll see. The maker of this video made the same mistake you're making because you both didn't know the history of the Planet Killers and how powerful they really were (I'm not blaming either of you for not knowing, you couldn't know unless you had seen the original series episode that was made decades before you were born). This video can be corrected by substituting a heavy cruiser size starship for the shuttle, and then it would make sense according to canon.

[@TheTaylorwailer]

I found this scene in the game funny but also very inspiring. If he’d only had waited 5 seconds for us to remember about the Hargh’pengs.. 🤣 Rest in Eternal Glorious Battle, K’Valk. Wait.. If a Klingon fails to kill an enemy they’ve challenged, aren’t they bringing dishonour in death? Or does this not count due to the enemy being an object? Thinking back to former Fort Officer Doran who brought dishonour to herself by dying after challenging the dishonourable captain. Wait again.. If K’Valk was dishonoured did we fix that by finishing the job?

[@seanwhitman8353]

K'Valk was already dishonoured after his capture during his failed mutiny on the Bird of Prey we end up capturing. So he was already in a bad place. In this, his death paved the way for us to finish the job, and we dedicated the victory to K'Valk in the end, so it ensured he would be redeemed and be allowed into Sto'Vo'Kor. I mean, you only need 4 or 5 torps if you hit it right to finish it off, whereas last time they had to blow up a whole ship and a shuttle to kill it. This one was weakened by K'Valk's sacrifice, and for a Klingon, a heroic sacrifice that leads to victory is a surefire way to be remembered as a hero rather than a disgrace, which was what K'Valk would have been in for at B'Vat's hands before we stepped in.

For dying stupidly, in failure? I think not. Klingons honor dying in battle, but only if it was for good reason, to try to achieve something, not for nothing. A wasted warrior's life doesn't serve the Empire well, it weakens it. The part of Klingon warrior culture about dying for honor instead of for mission accomplishment is idiotic. As General Patton said in his speech to his Third Army troops in WWII: "No dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the OTHER poor, dumb bastard die for HIS country!" In other words, you don't give your life foolishly, without hope of accomplishing your mission. Much better to live to kill the enemy another day.

I think it's very unhealthy for kids to idolize a fictional warrior ethic that is so often viscious, malicious, and utterly IGNOBLE in nature.
