Re: Klingon Times
I, personally agree with Scotty, who says that the ridges came from
scowling at Tribbles!
In one of the Star Trek comics/graphic novels, there was a discussion
about the "ridged Klingons having taken over the Empire." Which would
indicate that there are different races of Klingons - one with ridges,
one without. Considering that all TOS Klingons were "yellow skinned" (I
have an old "Making of Star Trek" that describes them as Mongols of the
future) and all ST:TNG & DS9 Klingons are "black skinned", it seems a
reasonable line of conjecture. Also, the Empire is usually described as
having 15 worlds, a number of Kling-oid mutations might be possible -
with the TOS Klingons being the ones that inhabited the worlds on the
Federation border.
