Klingon - Attributes - Homeworld

Homeworld

Qo'noS (Pronounced "Kronos") is the Klingon homeworld, also known as Klin. Early Star Trek literature referred to Qo'noS as "Klinzhai", but the TNG episode "Heart of Glory" called the planet "Kling". According to Mark Okrand, the planet was probably referred to in several ways, just as Earth is (ie. "the World" ). It was the film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country which officially established the main name as Qo'noS. Qo'noS is depicted as green when viewed from orbital space. It includes a lone huge land mass with a vast ocean, a severely tilted axis that causes wild seasonal changes, a turbulent atmosphere and extremes of both warm and frigid weather. The destruction of the planet's moon, Praxis, was a plot point in the film The Undiscovered Country, the after effects driving the plot of the film and later events in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
