A pop culture icon, Star Trek has a cult following since its creation in 1966. An American space opera seen on TV series, movies, video games and books, Star Trek focuses on the interstellar missions of Captain Kirk and his team on the Starship USS Enterprise. They are a group of humans and aliens who serve in Starfleet, a peace-keeping program in outer space. Identified by their coloured shirts and trademark Star Trek emblem they encountered many unfriendly aliens throughout their space travels, like the Klingon species. Klingons were swarthy humanoids characterised by prideful ruthlessness and brutality and had trademark facial features. From the planet Qo’noS, an M-class planet in the Beta Quadrant, the Klingons are a proud, tradition-bound people who value honour and combat with an aggressive culture that has made them an interstellar military power to be respected and feared.
