Starfleet Academy Can Finally Solve Star Trek: Discovery’s Biggest Klingon Question

We Could Find Out What Happened To 32nd-Century Klingons

Star Trek : Starfleet Academycan puzzle out the boastful question thatStar Trek : Discoveryraised about Klingons in the 32nd one C by introducing a new Klingon character , with a classic result about what happened to the Klingons between the 24th and 32nd century . The fates of otherStar Trekaliens were shown inDiscovery , like Vulcans and Romulans in the end united on the planet Ni’Var . shake and Earth became isolationist . Star Trek : Discoveryeven showed aStarfleet Ferengi on the USS Discovery . Klingons , however , seemed to have vanished from the wandflower , with none appearing on - screen .

The absence of the Klingons inStar Trek : Discovery ’s 32nd C is likely due to the vital backlash thatDiscoveryfaced after theradical Klingon redesigns inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 1 . Rather than resolve what 32nd 100 Klingons looked like , or where they had go , Star Trek : Discoveryjust did n’t bother to address Klingons at all . BecauseStar Trek : Starfleet Academytakes space in the 32nd century , a Klingon cadet could explicate the Klingons ' absence inStar Trek : Discovery ’s later time of year . Were the Klingons isolating themselves ? Had they destroyed themselves with infighting?Starfleet Academycould have these answers .

Klingon characters inStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , which takes place in the 23rd one C likeStar Trek : Discoveryseason 1 and 2 , more intimately resemble the Klingons in theStar Trek : The Next Generationera , suggest multiple variations of Klingon subsist at the same meter .

Star Trek’s Academy Show Can Fix Worf Being Starfleet’s Only Klingon

A Klingon Cadet Could Fulfill Worf’s Legacy After 700 Years

IfStar Trek : Starfleet Academydoes introduce a new Klingon fictional character as a Starfleet Academy plebe , that would mean that Lt . Commander Worf is no longer the only Klingon in Starfleet . Being raised by humans on Earth meant Starfleet was an option for Worf , who bridged the spread between these two worlds and school of thought . Worf garnered honour for both the Federation and the Klingon Empire , service as the Captain of the USS Enterprise - E and winning the title of Chancellor before turning it over to Martok ( J.G. Hertzler ) . Even with these honour , no other full - blooded Klingons are known to have followed Worf into Starfleet .

" I am Worf , boy of Mogh , planetary house of Martok , son of Sergey , menage of Rozhenko , bane to the Duras sept , killer of Gowron . I have made some chamomile teatime . Do you take scratch ? "

A new Klingon Starfleet Academy Cadet might have any number of reasons to fall in Starfleet . They might be inhale by Worf as a hero sandwich of legend . Joining Starfleet could give them opportunities that citizens of the Klingon Empire do n’t have . If the Empire does n’t survive inStar Trek ’s thirty-second century , Starfleet may be one of just a few hopeful paths to glorification . A new Klingon plebe may simply want to explore the Galax urceolata , after the Burn prevented it . disregarding of the reason , a young Klingon plebe would be a groovy gain toStar Trek : Starfleet Academy , and a way of life to answer these two long - standing Klingon question .
