Dajqu' De'vam. SuStel pointed out a few days ago that Kira recently
identified a old-style Klingon battlecruiser as a "D-7" (a FASA
designation, I believe). Now, John Ford's "Black Fleet" appears in the
Paramount-sponsored ST:Klingon CD.
Have The-Powers-That-Be finally forgiven FASA/Ford for whatever
indiscretion that prompted them to revoke FASA's license to produce their
Star Trek role-playing game? Or maybe "the next generation" at Paramount
just doesn't realize just where these very popular Klingon fan terms
originated.
Hmmm... will we be hearing klingonaase soon?
