Klingon

Photon Torpedo

Self-propelled missiles consisting of a small quantity of matter and antimatter bound together in a magnetic container, used as a tactical weapon by Federation starships.[2] Photon torpedoes are the preferred weapon when a ship is at warp drive since they are not limited by the speed of light, as ship’s phasers are.[1]

Klaang

Klaang (ENT-01-02)
Klaang (ENT-01-02)

Klaang, a Klingon courier, played a crucial role in the Enterprise NX-01‘s first mission and was responsible for the first contact between Klingons and Humans. As part of the Temporal Cold War, a Suliban faction known as the Cabal was used to foment chaos within the Klingon Empire, staging attacks to make it appear as if the Klingons were attacking each other. Klaang had obtained proof of this from a Suliban female named Sarin, and was on his way back to the High Council when his ship was shot down over Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The Enterprise was assigned to return Klaang to his homeworld, but he was kidnapped from the ship by the Suliban. Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew managed to learn the truth and save Klaang, successfully delivering him to Qo’noS. Once there, the High Council found the necessary proof of the conspiracy hidden in Klaang’s DNA.[1] Portrayed by Tommy “Tiny” Lister, Jr..

B’Etor

B'Etor (ST-07)
B’Etor (ST-07)

A member of the Klingon Empire‘s politically influential House of Duras, B’Etor was the younger of Duras‘ two sisters. Following the death of Duras in 2367, B’Etor plotted unsuccessfully with her sister, Lursa, to seat Duras’ illegitimate son, Toral, as leader of the Klingon High Council, plunging the Empire into a civil war.[1] B’Etor subsequently dropped out of sight for nearly two years until she and her sister attempted to raise capital for their armies by selling bilitrium explosives to the Kohn-ma, a Bajoran terrorist organization, in late 2368.[2] In 2370 she and her sister illegally mined a magnesite ore deposit on Kalla III that belonged to the Pakleds. They later tried to sell the ore to the Yridians.[3] Later that year, B’Etor and Lursa obtained trilithium weapons technology from Dr. Tolian Soran, in hopes of making another attempt to conquer the Klingon Empire. When the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D stumbled upon their activities with Soran at the Amargosa Observatory, B’Etor and Lursa attacked the Enterprise. The sisters were killed when their D-12-class Bird of Prey was destroyed by the Enterprise.[4] Portrayed by Gwynyth Walsh.
