Yes, they are actually called "The imperial Klingon Empire" which makes them twice as imperial as the Romulan Star Empire, but less starry.
Klingons also don't extend their beliefs about honor to other races. The Federation has helped the Klingon Empire many times, saving them from civil war more than once, and possibly even prevented their extinction after Praxis. But the Klingons always forget or willfully ignore this aid and continuously return to a state of hostility with the Federation.
I love how Worf constantly spoke about how humans didn't understand concepts of honor. Maybe he meant Klingon honor. He should've been specific. A lot of Earth cultures put great stock in honor, well into the 23rd and 24th centuries I'd imagine. Japan and the old samurai code easily comes to mind.
I am not sure Japan and Samurai would still be any real thing by that point honestly. WW3 and the Eugenics wars that saw Khan rule most of the Earth were pretty devastating. And although we see it being really common now, Japan itself had pretty much set aside and forgotten the Samurai before WW2. It was during the war that Japan needed to bolster the zeal of their armies and sought out ways to inspire them. That was when they really brought back ideas around Bushido and using it drive their forces at the time.
But yes Klingon Honour from outsides can be fickle and almost seem to fall into the "That was then, what have you done for me today" trope. The longer lasting alliance with the Federation being inspired by the loss on the Enterprise C trying to fight off the Romulans for instance. Ultimately the Federation and Klingons are very distinct and although willing to begrudge one another, they do have their limits. Such as whether one will side with the other in a battle.
SF Debris made an interesting point about having Internal and External Honour. How someone views themself and how others view them and their honour. So when Worf stands against Gowron he is doing it for his sense of his own personal internal code of honour. But doing so disgraces him in the eyes of Gowron and those aligned with him. So losing him External Honour.
Star Trek Online also plays into this. The species 8472 aka Undine in that timeline start using infiltrators to sneak into and break up the Alpha powers. The Klingons find and kill theirs before it can cause too much trouble. When they try to warn the Federation they are ignored. When they try to talk to you as a new player you brush them off and a fight breaks out. Things lead to another spate of war which only ends when another greater threat pushes them back together to face the return of the Iconians. The Klingons were actually correct in the STO timeline but because they are ignored or seemingly pushed aside they break off the Khitomer Accords and new hostilities follow.
Sam Ronin, I was just trying to bring up a historical viewpoint. The blanket statements that Worf has sometimes made that humans don’t understand honor are bunk.
Doesn’t Starfleet have honor as a core value? The honor of the fleet, conducting oneself in an honorable way, etc. That may not be the same as Klingon sense of honor, but honor is to be expected in a war fighting force.
Now, I understand that Starfleet is an exploratory fleet, not a true war fighting fleet. They have ships for diplomacy and exploration that just happen to be armed and armored (although one could argue not that well). Although post-Deep Space Nine and Nemesis we might see a shift toward having true warships. Unlikely, but possible.
I don't know there fairly strong ally by the end of DS9
Daniel Parkison nor does Worf his view is based on a lack of actual knowledge of his culture and more of a far fetched romantic view of them.
I love that fact the narrator got the pronunciations correct for some of the more heavier words.
Listen. Strange Klingon's sitting next to lava pools distributing bat'leth's is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical tectonic ceremony. You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some rebellious tart threw a bat'leth at you! I mean, if I went around, saying I was an emperor, just because some sweaty bint had lobbed a bat'leth at me, they'd put me away!
Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Bloody terrans!
BE QUIET!
And now for something completely different ......
Sure loved the book KAHLESS .The story keeps switching from modern day (The Next Generation timeline) and back in time to the days of MOLAR and KAHLESS when Klingons had no tech and were much like past earth Empires.They fight with blades and the like and have horse-like creatures.And there is a big twist being that MOLAR is the heroic one but KAHLESS has to be given the glory.A good read !!
I wasn’t really a fan of The Klingons till I read Shakespeare In original Klingon. Now I am a big fan.
Actually do wonder how well Shakespeare do it Klingon. Since his writing really takes advantage of English. Iambic Pentameter do not work in every language after all.
@@Cythil They actually redid Hamlet in Klingon.
@@davidkelly4210 True. But I have not looked it up. Also, I do not speak Kilingon so I am not the best to judge. So I will still wonder ;)
Not really very clever. Nice tr.
Klingon are a Soviet Union analogo in TOS 1966 series but their culture with Honor warriors and feudalism and nobility like German Empire or Imperial Japan
THIS IS TRUE TREK... I hope we get back to this one day...
If I ever get ownership the Star Trek ip I’m going to abduct the Ds9 Writer’s and force them to write something to continue the timeline immediately post dominion war
Yum Yum
Objection: The romulan Attack that started the Alliance between Federation and Klingon Empire was the battle of Narendra 3, where the Enterprise-C was lost against 3 or 4 romulan warbirds. This self Sacrifice for an Enemy against a dishonorable attack was the turning Point for the klingons
I'd like a closer look at the Borg.
Trust me, you don’t want a closer look.
You don’t want to be assimilated, do you?
They're complex, and still not a lot is known about them. Just their history with the Federation.
The Borg would like to have a closer look at you.
They kinda want to make this episode, but legend says they're resisting
As barbaric and savage as they look, Klingons had honour. I would like to see a Star Trek series from the perspective of the Klingons.
I pronounce the planet name as “Kronos”
so does everyone else
Except for whoever is doing this channel. Everything else is research quite good, so I wonder where that comes from. And Kronos is wayyy easier than Quoknosch?
Sounds like the Star Trek Discovery pronunciation.
The "Q" sound in Klingon sounds a bit like "kr" in English. That's why there are two spellings for the planet.
@@snekula5353 I was thinking that as I read this. The spelling for it is Qo'nos, but it's pronounced "Kronos." One the transliteration, the other the "actual" spelling.
Man, I forgot how crazy things got for the klingons at the end
Your analysis are the most comprehensive and professionally presented I've seen. Great job!
Please do one on the Andorians please. Thank you.
The Imperium of Man would be so cool to see done.
As a staunch fan of Trek bordering on obsession-level, I can give you absolute praise for the accuracy and professional delivery of this vi-doc, Thank you for this.
However, you missed a very key facet of Klingon history (while not canon) that is quite acceptable as a piece of noteworthy apocrypha. That being General Chang's speech to the Klingon recruits in the Klingon Academy video game, wherein we are graced with the first definitive explanation of what the Imperial Navy's symbol actually means, and what it's called.
The Heart of Virtue, wherein each of the three blades represents a key belief upon which the foundation of Klingon society is built. You should check it out. It makes a lot of sense and it should be canon.
You're the best! I am certainly grateful to you for a spoiler-free ST: Discovery upload. Now, I'll go watch it on my Tivo!
Beautifully made, as always. Thank you.
I really hope discovery will be forgotten in a few decades, or simply remembered as a non canon clumsy but esthetic mistake tied to a very tumultuous and polarized political climate.
But despite this, its overall a very good presentation of the klingon empire...
The Confederation from Wing Commander
THE SONS OF KILRAH
These videos are amazing! Kudos to the writer(s)! Great job! I haven’t seen “Dune” yet, but just stumbled upon this, so I’m anticipating such. Thank you The Templin Institute! 🖖🏼✨😊
The Klingons are tamed wolves, nothing more. They serve a purpose to the Federation but they are wild at heart. Good for them.
Could you do a video on the Imperium of Man?
Oh that's a good one
The Emperor approves
Video run time 7 hours 47 minutes and 37 seconds :P
The Men of Krieg sends their regard.
Yes Pls. That would be Epic.
Hope to see The Ferengi Alliance, the Borg, and the Dominion in the future.
Thank you for this I made a human science officer for the Klingon recruitment event in Star Trek Online awhile back. This will help with his backstory.
You folks sure do your homework. Well done.
"From the heart of Qo'noS to the frozen wastes of Rura Penthe, the Klingons have built an empire that values strength, honor and skill in combat.
To be Klingon is to be a warrior. Fight well. Live with honor. Die with a blade in your hand.
If you can do these things, you will live forever in the stories of the great Klingon heroes."
Actually, after the Hur'q invasion, there were seated klingon emperors until sometime between the TOS and TNG periods; When the clone of khaless was discovered,he was installed as emperor to serve as the figurehead of the empire,as before.
Mentioning Kirk as the Empire's greatest and most worthy opponent is an understatement
In nearly every encounter, Kirk would often blow them the f-k up rather than parley...
The aldmeri dominion (forgive my spelling) elder scrolls series plz
your spelling is perfect lol
I have only seen a few videos but holy crap you guys this is good content. I haven't seen a channel do a format like this. Just the way the videos look and seem almost like audio logs. You all can build a heaping pile of lore for the channel. Secret vids, "Leaked" transmissions of the creation of the institute. That is of course, if this is in-fact fictional as this universe would suggest.
I would like to see your take on the Vidiians. they were very much vilified in Voyager, but I have to wonder if at least some people in our real world would go so far as to do the same kind of things given a plague as serious as the Phage and assuming that they had the technology to do so. it was stated that prior to it, they were very much like us, which really makes me wonder if we would be so different
Would you consider doing a video on The Tevinter Imperium from The Dragon Age series.
Absolutely brilliant well done
Found this video an saw your channel has lots of different subjects on lots of sci-fi shows, games, an movies. 40k being one of them. You should do more Warhammer 40k videos on different races, factions, an different key characters.
Do The Culture!. Granted it hasn't got a TV/Movie representation yet (Might be hard for graphics) , its still one of the most fascinating "Empires" (For want of a better description of a loose federation of space anarchists) in Sci-Fi
Will have to see this video multiple times in the future. And hope for an update after Discovery finish airing.
Having replayed a bit of Killzone, would like to see a video on their factions.
Nice hearing good pronunciation of tlhIngan Hol. Thank you for the content.
New subscriber!! Love the videos. Please do Borg, The Dominion, and the Federation! Also I bet you can make many videos regarding Star Wars factions and races as there is so much lore to cover XD. Another great show to cover is Stargate SG1, Alantis. The Cylons and Humans from the Battlestar Gallactica series would be cool. I'll stop nerding out lol.
One could easily make the case that the spacefaring marauders that invaded the Empire could have been the Predators. They could have been regular visitors until the civil war as depicted in "Predators". That would have given the Klingon Empire almost two Earth centuries before coming into conflict with the Federation.
just binge watche a bunch of your videos, lovely work you guys do over here. Really like the lenght of the video, i would prefer them a bit longer but as it is very accesable. Thank you for your content!
Suggestions: David Weber's Honorverse - The Star Kingdom (and later Star Empire) of Manticore and the Republic of Haven
YES!, you used footage from Prelude to Axanar. One of my favorite fan made short films.
Very informative video in regards to the Klingon Empire I learned a lot from it.
This was a valiant effort at a timeline and lore seriously messed up by the new series. Well done!
Excellent work here and narrative.
Since everyone is arguing over this. Here’s the info you need regarding how to actually pronounce Kronos.
Kronos is the English/Federation translation. Qo’noS is the original Klingon name.
Q is like a q mixed with the ch in Bach. It’s a guttural, well articulated back of the throat noise. One of the harder noises to get in Klingon that you don’t find in English.
o is pronounced like the o in mosaic
‘ is a glottal stop, Klingons consider this a letter just as important as the others. All it means is to shorten the vowel before or after it. If you don’t, you might accidentally say QonoS (journal) which would confuse/insult whichever Klingon you’re talking too.
n like the n in sunspot
S like the sh in shine
By the end it should sound something like:
kkho-nosh
Since at least one of your team knows Ace Combat it might be interesting to see something on Belka.
Great Music. Worthy of Kahless.
The orks from warhammer 40k "AND BRING THE DAKA DA BOYZ WANT SOME KICK FOR THE WAAAAAARG" I quoted myself
Wicked idea for a channel. Glad it hit my feed.... you have a new subscriber.
Love to see this type of a breakdown on the history of "Battlestar Galactica".
The Klingon Ban E has never lost a war.
The thumbs up is relative to the false gods/devils in the PREH. I am in Heaven.
Cool channel 😎 love the format and attention to visual and info detail. Keep it up! How about a video about Ringworld and it's universe?
I don’t know if this will be seen, but I’d like to see a video detailing the Reapers from Mass Effect.
A video on the Torchwood institute wouldn't hurt
You guys used footage from the fan film Axanar, as well as images from the Kelvin timeline. Nice.
Now, the Khitomer Alliance includes the Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic, Bajor, and the Dominion.
Great work! Now try the Tholian Assembly. Thanks.
If there is any justice in this galaxy, Gowron will be known to posterity as "Gowron the Googly-Eyed". Come on, you know you love it!
I find it interesting that you used clips from Prelude to Axanar.
The Klingons were also gloriously pivotal in the Battle to retake Deep Space Nine which allowed Sisko to essentially timeshift the entire Dominion fleet coming from the Gamma Quadrant.
the proper name for Qo'Nos is phonetically spoken as "Kronos"
+Kevin Murphy
Indeed. We hear Klingons say "Kronos" all the time.
Fun fact: by 2410, Klingons, Romulans, and Federation formed an aliance as the beggining for new relationships (for more info play Star Trek Online)
I have a suggestion do a series of videos on Robotech. Like the zentraedi , the invid , REF army of the southern cross . Could you do one on Battlestar Galactica .
One thing about Klingons is the when they got cloaking technology on ships. keeps getting changed over the years.
Please do a video about the Osean Federation. You have already doe a video about the Yuktobanians, it is fair that a video about the Oseans should be done.
Men. The music in the background is too loud. And your explanation is so good.
I know you guys probably have a huge list already of factions to cover but I'm sure a lot of interest should be generated by covering:
Fallout: The New California Republic or Brotherhood of Steel
The Elder Scrolls: The Septim Empire
Dragon Age: The Orlesian Empire or Kingdom of Ferelden
Mass Effect: The Systems Alliance
Halo: The Covenant or United Nations Space Corps
Metal Gear Solid: Diamond Dogs or the Patriots
Just a few ideas, keep up the good work.
To echo what others have stated, the battle of Narendra III should be included. TNG “Yesterday’s Enterprise” confirms that the incident further solidified the Khitomer Accords but also strengthened it into an alliance. Without Enterprise C, the Federation and Klingons would have gone to war. Great job nonetheless, aside from that!
Those arrayed fleet graphics you use remind of the old StarCraft cutscenes in the best way! Are they custom or modified from footage?
Interesting to mix Axanar and Discovery footage seeing as they’re directly contrary. Other than that nice work.
I'd love to see a vid on the Borgs!
It would be cool to see a video about the Tau'ri (Stargate Humans) or the Goa'uld (Butthole slavers/Main bad guys for first 8 seasons) or UNIT from doctor who
My question is, if a human became head of a great house like Quark could they become chancellor?
The funny thing is Kahless actually seized power when he and his followers took over an orbital super weapon.
It would be interesting to see a video on the Star League from Battletech.
Fallout factions and nations? The New California Republic would be cool.
Larry Niven's The Mote in God's Eye universe. Man Kzin Wars. Alan Dean Foster's Commonwealth Universe.
How about doing an episode on the "Nox" from SG1?
You should do the Imperium of Man from the Warhammer 40k franchise.
awesome video, but i would recommend to lower the music a tiny bit, not too much because it is very good, but it sometimes comes close to overruling the narration.
Templin Institute could you do a video about the cardassian union (the on-off) antagonists of Star Trek DS9?
In the 31st century, the Klingons are a very close Allie of earth prime
a suggestion do some series of babylon 5 there are many races and cultures you could explore there
Can you please do a video about the sphere order from skyland?
Excellent!
Its one of the obvious ones , but Westeros (A Song of Ice and Fire)
Derrick Sylvester James Jr. You do know this is Sci-fi stuff right..?
High Marshal Helbrecht The channel's description says "alternate worlds" and that includes fantasy.
The Klingon Home world, Qo'Nos, is pronounced "Kro Nos"
Id.like a video about the Maclins from the Orville or the Narn from B5
How about the Green Lantern Corps
mcdjsa YASSS
mcdjsa
Now there's an idea.
The Enclave!
I respect Klingons very much, got so much honour, but not so sure about bloodwine though? Perhaps they are vampires? Vampire Klingons what a sight that would be.
Klingon Ban E has never lost a war (PREH)
this is not my fault, period.
thank an episode of Spacedock and the recommendation by youtube of this video for a new sub
You haven't lived until you watched Romeo and Juliet in Klingon!
The Discovery Klingons look more alien. I like 'em.
Would you ever do White Wolf/World of Darknes/Chronicles of Darkness?
How about the quad from Killjoys
Great vid 😍
Long live the Klingon Empire! Qapla'!
