A complete military history of the Klingon Empire would be voluminous, but surely would be a glorious thing... Even an Earth audience would appreciate a record of those battles involving Federation forces. For example, a complete history of the battle of Donatu Five, along with a full description of the D6 and D4 class ships, the hand weapons used, the personalities of the commanders on both sides, the economic conditions which lead to the confrontation, charts of the strategies used in the fire fights, etc., surely could fill one text. If nothing else, Mr. Shatner could draw from history for Star Trek V, although Captain Kirk was in short pants when the battle was waged... -- Kahless tai-Hazar {lll-crg,sdcsvax,ucbvax}!ucdavis!samira!kahless These views do not necessarily reflect those of The Imperial Propoganda Division, The Klingon Empire, or our Emperor.
