Editorial

Time has gone by so quickly - it certainly does not feel like three months since the last Warrior's Way…yet here before you sits the March issue!

There have been a few improvements to the Warrior's Way since the December issue. A list of KAG contacts and a KAG join-up page have been added and these will be put in every future issue. The KAG Australia Marine Corps will also each have a regular section in the Warrior's Way. Krud's Address will also be a regular feature, as will the Promotions section. The Sundragon Institute of Engineers will also have a regular section in future issues

Thank you to those warriors who have contributed to this issue. If not for those of you out there that put a bit of effort in (and actually get your stuff to me on time!) I'm sure we'd all be stuck reading boring Fleet reports! Good thing we like reading yours, Krud!

Qapla' and enjoy!

Krud's Address

Klingon Warriors,

(Insert large "Qapla'" here)

This IS Krud.

Welcome to the highest level of activity KAG Australia has ever seen. We are certainly kicking with a size 12 boot at the moment and it is all due to the outstanding and enthusiastic input by so many of our members. So much so that two KAG Aust warriors have been asked to submit articles for 'Mindscanner' the U.S.A based KAG magazine, and we are now advertised in the Klingon homeworld (U.S.A) in a similar vain as the giant KAG Kanada (Canada)!

The last few months has seen Western Australia re-emerge into activity thanks to Lt molaH, and no fewer than five new fleet units within KAG Australia have come to a reality; Qapla'! These are:

It is excellent to see this activity and enthusiasm, however two of these units have been attempted before; considering this you may wonder what makes a SUCCESFUL department leader as a few of you have been disappointed in your efforts. Read on as this concerns all Klingons!!

Starting or running a unit/department in KAG (or anywhere) is not about "I'm in charge, do as I say", the differences in success I see, are more in the approach or motivation. A good leader (especially in a social group) will first of all find a need, and then say 'I need your assistance with this, how can you help?' This proves a conviction and strength. An unsuccessful leader will just stand up and start barking orders or blindly issuing assignments! This just proves who is the greater bully! So there is more than just proclaiming yourself in charge! And I do keep this in mind when considering requests for promotion to a department.

The other side of things is I see a lot of warriors charging forth with Glory in their eyes, forgetting that it is about the Honour of being chosen for their aptitude rather than the personal prestige. As I have been saying for some time it's NOT that serious! Fun…yes a lot of fun, but when people start the politics and bickering it only ends in destruction to some extent! If you feel disappointed by something in KAG then I would honestly recommend another line of service. I am a great believer that all Warriors have a specific role to play in Klingdom (Klingon+Fandom) call it kama or destiny, but we all have a 'niche' to be in; in our service to the Empire…find yours, in Australia there is certainly room for opportunity!

Ok…Ok…Lecture's over !!!!!

Lt Commander Koord and Lt LeDeI' tai's Warrior Academy has accepted its first course to learn the art of the bat'leth, all 10 warriors attending are very excited about graduating and maybe being accepted into the then forming Marines Honour Guard! He has a team of genuine Martial Arts (Akido?) and SCA instructors (also KAG members) to run the course, and they are very serious in providing correct training in this area right down to the philosophy! As I have mentioned previously the warrior Academy is in place to bring order to our bat'leth tournaments (or at least to make it look like we know what we are doing!!)

In compliment to the Warrior Academy I have finally appointed a Sundragon Fleet Quartermaster, in the name of Lt Klagg vestai. This Warrior is the third individual to be interested in the prestigious position of QM, and has actually put his 'conviction where his mouth is' and actually constructed bat'leth! His workshop of two, has since produced (in wood) 10 'standard' weapons and two Bat'leth of Kahless. He has even constructed 8 specialist 'fighting' bat'leth with rounded and protected edges at the request of the Warrior Academy. He is even constructing TOS Klingon Weapons a-la Kang's Sword.

We have as a Fleet/group have begun regular sessions at the local Laser Force's ('laser light' rifle game) to a great successes. With many of our members now in the top scoring bracket we are now considered a team to beat! As an incentive for this active, public activity I have invented a 'Disrupter Marksman's Award', to be worn with pride on the uniforms of our top scorers. However this activity, we have found is a little to hot (sweaty) to play in Imperial Klingon uniform!

In response to all this physical, weapons oriented activity our Marine contingent is starting to grow. Under the command of Marine 1st Lt DehGems both the 'Grunts', and a soon to be Honor Guard are forming!

Newly promoted Lt Commander B'Etor has started her 'Institute of Sundragon Engineers' as a guiding influence and help on our web pages. This department is responsible for the look, updating and maintenance on all web page Engineers who subscribe to her scheme. The aim of this venture is to maintain a uniformed 'corporate' style to the Sundragon pages, whilst retaining the individual content!

Camp Praxis organised by Lt Commanders B'leth and B'Etor, with Lt JG Qel qu'chong (our annual Warrior Skills weekend) has been set for the Australian long weekend of April 24-26. To be held on the side of a mountain in tropical rainforest, this tent camping activity will include a multitude of organised water pistol 'capture the flag' style games, a bat'leth tournament for the Trainees of the Academy, nightstalker games and a fire pit Klingon banquet which will be our main awards ceremony for the year. For any information concerning this camp, contact either B'leth or B'Etor or more correctly your Ship's Commander.

An official Sundragon Fleet UN-dress uniform is in creation, mostly for use at the 'ship vs. ship' Tenpin Bowling games, we are starting to produce 'polo' style club shirts. Black, with the winged Sundragon symbol on the back, Quadrant and KAG Australia on the sleeves and the ship symbol on the left pocket. The IKV Dragons Blade has already produced their shirts and we hope to have the fleet done by Praxis. Yet again I feel like a used car salesman but contact your Ship's Commander for information!

The crewing of "Star Trek-The Exhibit" has ended with the exhibit leaving Brisbane for New Zealand, and I am happy to report the celebrations have commenced (certainly I can sleep better now as I was coordinating the volunteer staff!!). All KAG participants have gained a Battle Notch for their every attendance and notables are getting a Kill stripe for the event.

The Engineer of the Dragon's Wine (under the command of Lt JG Trog) Sgt Keb, has developed an idea which I can't not inform you of. I am sceptical of the practicalities but I would love to see it happen!! He has the vision of the whole of KAG…yes that's KAG, not just Australia…attending in one place at one time. Specifically New Year's Eve 2001 (the real Millennium, he believes) in a specific place, either Trafalgar Square, London; or Times Square, New York. Before you pass judgement, imagine we have two years to save for this (he says) and it is a quest that would be legendary! Let's talk about this!!!

Krud's Quote of the issue-->"A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye" (DS9)

Qapla' and may you all find your 'sharp knife'.

Fleet Logos

Most of you would be well aware of this by now, but Lt Dun mItqa' vestai-Qorgh has created some brilliant new logos for the fleet. You would have already seen the Warrior's Way logo, but in this issue I have included the rest of the logos Dun mItqa' has done as of the time this was written. I'm sure you'll all think the logos Dun mItqa' has done are fantastic - Admiral Kragtowl thought so; that's why he gave Dun mItqa' a special Admiral's Commendation! Qapla'!!

The Fight

At the Klingon Christmas party on a tarp with jelly, custard, choc topping and whipped cream, the Captain's position on the Dragon's Deception was decided with a wrestling match. After a half-hour of this, a victor was found. (A victor was decided well before the match took place - B'Etor and veqtaH were just in it for the jelly! - Ed.)

IMAGINE THIS - TWO KLINGON WOMEN IN SWIMSUITES WRESTLING…

IF YOU CAN'T, LOOK AT THE PHOTOS!

LeDeI' Boreth'wI

A crowd gathers to watch veqtaH and B'Etor…

Take this veq!!

Can we have a break or what??!

Hey veq…do I have a penny stuck up my butt? I don't know B'Etor, why don't I check?!

B'Etor is declared the winner…but Koord's shirt won't stay this clean for long!

The Four Moons of Praxis

It was one of those KAG events you'd be glad you didn't know about!

After checking out the campsite for Praxis, a small group of Klingons decided that (because it was such a nice day) they'd all go for a swim. So after a short drive and a long walk, they reached the falls. Four of the warriors braved the freezing waters - however, screams and shouts of "Shrinkage!!" echoed from rock to rock. It may have been the influence of the cold water, but the four wet Klingons soon found out that it was much more fun swimming in the buff. Yep that's right, four naked Klingons swimming in freezing waters. After a display of two of the swimmers' "assets" (and for a full description of that, you'll have to ask one of the onlookers!), the two dry ones were treated to a rare and spectacular sight - the four moons of Praxis. Use your imagination! Those involved in this little incident shall remain nameless - though I'm sure you'll hear about it at the next KAG party!

Source shall remain nameless!

From the IKV Deathblow

Late 1998, Lt molaH, CO of the IKV Deathblow, the West Australian ship came up with a way to increase the activity of his crew members. Having had several years experience with Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Mech Warrior and Spell Jammer, he decided to conduct an experiment with his crew. Spell Jammer is a science fiction based Role Playing Game that takes place in space and would be very easy to edit and alter to be played in the Star Trek universe, based on a Klingon vessel of any kind. In his investigation, molaH found out that Paramount in association with Last Unicorn Games has actually produced a Star Trek : The Next Generation Role Playing Game. molaH bought the two respective books and dedicated the next month to reading and learning the rules.

Over the next two months, molaH acquainted his crew with the rules and helped them in creating characters based on their KAG personalities. The first mission was a training mission to acquaint his crew with the ship and with the rules in practice. They had two training mission simulations before molaH allowed his crew even near the bridge of the actual ship. The first training mission was a simple reconnaissance mission to discover a federation shuttle in Klingon space carrying vital information that they had to retrieve. The second mission was a ground based practical simulation. There were several aliens to kill and land based skills to put in practice. These missions also proved useful to molaH to allow him to acquaint himself with his crew and discover their abilities and ways of solving creative problems.

The first actual mission was an almost scientific mission. A couple of Klingon ships had disappeared near the nuQ'cha system. The Deathblow investigated to discover a wormhole that lead from that cluster to a section of Federation space that has as yet been undetermined. They only discovered that it lead to Federation space simply because an Oberth class starship came out as the chief science officer was scanning the cluster for anomalies. Unfortunately, due to a digression earlier on between the chief security and tactical officers, a fight broke out on the bridge. In the rules, one rolled die may be traded for something called a Drama Die, that if that die rolls a 6, the result is a dramatic success and something extra happens. If it rolls a 1, then the result is a dramatic failure. Both crewmembers drew batleths and started swinging at each other. The first three rolls were ones and not only did they miss, they dramatically missed, each hit smashing into the tactical console, almost chopping it clean off the wall.

Due to severed wiring and damaged isolinear chips, the disrupter cannon was initiated and fired, striking the Federation vessel. As the battle raged on the bridge, the starship started firing on the Deathblow. Faced with this problem, molaH used his disrupter and stunned both crewmembers, having one transported to the brig and one transported to the cargo bay. After a diplomatic explanation, molaH managed (through a lot of cloaking and firing) to persuade the starship (that was no match for even a B'rel class bird of prey) to break off it's attack and accompany him back to the nearest Klingon space station. Both crewmembers were dealt with 'diplomatically' and the battle damage was repaired at the same starbase the Oberth class starship was taken to.

molaH has taken both the roles of CO of the Deathblow and Games Master (GM), making his job just that much harder. The rest of the crew seem to have taken to the idea and concept of the game quickly and are doing fairly well now. The Deep Space Nine supplement should be released in February 1999, and when molaH is able to get that, he can then have the Deathblow aid in the battle against the Dominion. Krud is very willing to help in the command side of things if anyone else is willing to investigate this new and interesting game. In molaH's opinion, it helps that his crew is relatively small but if GMed creatively, or even having 2 or even 3 GMs for different sections of the ship, then larger groups will even be able to play joint games, giving everyone a go.

Still Klingon, After All These Years

I don't get it. I just don't get it. We have the numbers. We have the dedication. So why, oh why, don't Klingons rule the universe of fandom? I mean, if you look at the ration of Klingons who show up to Trek (and some non-Trek) functions in costume, as opposed to any other alien, any outsider might conclude Star Trek was about Klingons. If you take into account the non-actor-centric fan clubs, there are more Klingon Klubs to be found than any other race. And I don't even want to begin to mention web sites. OK, I'll mention them. Have you surfed the keyword "Klingon" lately? Prepare to ride a tidal wave, baby! I mean, really. Klingons have their own section in Barnes and Nobles. One would think we had arrived.

We have our own look, our own language, our own culture, our own clubs, our own functions, and our own holidays. So why do Klingons seem to stay on the fringes of Trek? I asked some Klingon friends this question, and some of the answers really appealed to my paranoid side. Here's something from one named KragtowI (Bear) of the Epetai of House Trekkan. Note, this is a direct quote (with the exception of a few spelling corrections), reprinted here with KragrowI's permission.

"Since I have been doing this, in Science Fiction and Fantasy fandom, Klingons getmore respect than most Federation groups due to the time, effort and even sometimes the attitude we take. From a distance, Klingons stand out because of their unique appearance and for some of us who are over 6' feet tall and largely built, we have a tendency to stick out even more!

"Where I find that we get a lack of respect is from those in a professional aspect. They view us as oddballs and typically stereotype us as "Closet Trekkies". It is even worse with anyone who is directly related to Star Trek, Paramount or Viacom. Have you noticed that those who win the major Star Trek related contest events are usually a Feddie! I feel at times that they consider us a threat because of the attention we do draw.

"Here's an example of an incident that occurred with me. There is a convention held in Oklahoma City called "ThunderCon". Excellent convention! At ThunderCon One, I was "Fan Guest of Honor" and the con chair was Larry Nemeck. I did and still do consider Larry a friend. He has made his mark in the "Star Trek" genre and his wife works for Michael Piller. I understand now, that he helps maintain the website at startrek.msn.com.

"Well, three years ago, I was at a convention called "VisionCon" in Springfield, MO and Larry and his wife were the guests. I was there at the request of the convention toassist with their masquerade, so I was semi-staff. The attitude I got from Larry and his mate was like, I had the plague. They talked very little to me and seem to avoid me constantly.

"Why, I do not understand! My only conclusion was that it was I belong to a "Non-sanctioned" Star Trek group which was even worse, Klingon. If their lack of common courtesy to one, who thought he was a friend, was like this, I hate to think how we would be reacted to at any other time.

"We chose to be Klingons because of many different reasons but the one that I try to live by in or out of costume is "Honor". Being true to my word, deed and actions! If this is a threat to Star Trek, Paramount and Viacom, I do not see why?

Wow. Like I said, outsiders seem to appreciate Klingons more than our own. I've run up against this in RPGs, too. Maybe it's because we just have too damn much fun. Some "Feddies" claim loyalty to the Great Bird. They claim Gene Roddenberry always hated Klingons, which is why he used them initially as universal villains. John Shuck, who played the Klingon Ambassador in both The Undiscovered Country and The Voyage Home reported to "The Star Trek Communicator" (issue 114, Nov-Dec 97) the following:

"It seemed to me that in the minds of the creators, the Klingons had matured. Gene Roddenberry was on the set the first time we did out big opening scene (in ST IV) and I asked him about it. He said it was time for the Klingons to take on a dimension which showed that the culture had changed. Alliances change. There can be progress."

You couldn't exactly say the Great Bird liked Klingons from this, but it's pretty clear he didn't hate them. Sure, they didn't fit into the Pollyanna Utopia Roddenberry seemed to envision for the future, but Klingons have their niche somewhere in that "Infinite Diversity" thing. A "Feddie" friend refutes the jealousy theory. Chris Bryson of the UCIP (An Internet Star Trek role-play group) says:

"Their sense of honor is silly. Their desire for death is pre-eminent, their need for battle induces wanton destruction, and they have no appreciation for life because it's been lost in their appreciation for death. Their behaviour is utterly repugnant. I mean, if they had SOME redeeming citizens, I could see it, but in every episode except that one with the female Scientist who was working with Crusher, they've all acted that way. They've overanalyzed the culture now, showing us more angles than any other culture in Trek, in TNG and DS9 and now Voy with B'elanna's problems. Their concept of honor is more like glory, actually. They don't seek the honor when they know it won't earn them a place in song, or legend. That's true honor -- being able to do good, act well, and accept that nobody may hear your name for what you've done."

Yikes. Harsh words. But before you start sharpening your sword, here's how he came by that opinion:

"Their kind of get-dead honor and stick-with-the pack mentality is what I consider to be one of the most detrimental attitudes in this country -- gangs have these attitudes, bad ones that get kids killed because of. I have a friend who considers himself to be a "warrior" in the grand scheme... someone who wants to go find a dragon and slay it for the princess... but he's so stuck in the warrior mentality he refuses to step out of his own little world, and understand that other people have DIFFERENT opinions -- and the Klingons aren't much better about it."

Is that it? I think he might misunderstand a few things, but I can see how that misunderstanding can happen. I mean, to know Klingons is to love them. To meet them casually, particularly in dark alleys, might inspire other feelings entirely. Anyway, this might explain the intensity of resentment toward Klingons, but I doubt all nay-sayers are as thoughtful or expressive. In most cases, it goes something like a conversation I had recently where the most coherent reason the person could come up with for hating Klingons was "Because they suck." When pressed to be more specific, the person amended his statement to "Because they are ugly and they suck." Ah, a veritable poet.

I guess the main thing is, it doesn't matter. I mean, Klingons may be the Rodney Dangerfields of the Trek universe, never getting the respect we deserve, but we show no signs of curling up and dying any time soon. We'll just have to hang out in our fringe, and be the odd ones. And put that way, I suppose it doesn't (as my one source might eloquently put) suck. Why doesn't it suck? Because I think I've run across this before in another form. You see, I've been an "Ugly American".

Any American who has lived in another country knows what I'm talking about. By and large, most people don't care who you are. You are just another person, and they are too busy getting on with their lives to go much deeper than that. That's the same, no matter where you go. But as an American abroad, I've run into two types of folks who do care, for two very different reasons that can really make or break your day. One type says "An American? Cool! Sit down, have a beer, and tell us how you like our country!" These guys can really make you feel welcome, even though a little self-conscious. They have this idea of what an American is, and they are happy to meet a real one so they can test their theories. They might even say they like Americans in general (which goes to show you they've met only a select few) for their amusing habits and "moxie". For some folks, Americans abroad are just one big travelling circus. But then there are the other guys.

For some folks, Americans stand for everything they despise. They see us as uncultured slobs and bullies who are too stupid to know we are hopelessly tacky and terminally un-hip. This type says "Ugly Americans! You walk around like you own the Earth, yet we invented style, fashion, culture and grace; things which you know nothing about! You are loud, ill-mannered, and impossibly clumsy! We hate you and your big guns and your nouveau riche and your Coca-Cola and your blue jeans!" To these guys, I would usually adopt an attitude of "Oh yeah? Well f(expletive accompanied by hand gesture) you! If an Ugly American is all you see when you look at me, than an Ugly American you shall have!" Oh, and then I'd snark and spit, or something equally tacky and gross. Just to, you know, drive the point home.

And that's where we are with the Klingons. Most people really don't care. Some folks appreciate the effort and think Klingons are cool. But some folks will see loud obnoxious pigs no matter what Klingon they are looking at, and there is nothing we can do about that. It's unfortunate, but that's life. We'll never be loved by all, but that's OK. In fact, it's better than OK. Even if some of the biggest Klingon haters are in highly placed positions in the Paramount pantheon, and will make sure Klingons never get their own show and never have another Klingon episode again (which is entirely possible, with DS9 leaving the air), it's still OK. Why? Because we're strong and we're having a great time, and we're not about to run into the ladies' room and have a good cry because we're "unloved". Hey, if obnoxious Klingons is all they can see when they look at us, then obnoxious Klingons they shall have. Don't forget to snark and spit.

To wrap up, a few more stories from Klingons that put a smug little smile on my face. First, this from Kiraq El-voq, Commanding Officer of the IKV Aggressor:

"Personally, I think a lot of it has to do with all the work, money, and time that to be a Klingon entails. To be a Feddie, you just buy a pair of pajamas, but most Klingons work hard to make a uniform. Most of the accessories we need have to be fan made, not bought off the rack. Also look at what the Klingons do in their communities. You spend all that time and effort to make something, you kind of like to show it off. The club I'm with raised over $30,000 for Big Brothers/Big Sisters this year, and even collected the money, and bowled in full uniforms. The Feddies in our area barely made a thousand dollars, and there are more of them than there are of us.

"We have in the Chicago area an annual food drive that is sponsored by a local radio station. Us Klingons always worked there, right along side the humans (not a Feddie in sight...well one this year) Due to a new manager who was told to cut the fat, all the charities were cut from the program.

"We Klingons took over the whole thing, and did such a good job, that the radio station said it was our event from now on. Now do you know why the Terrans hate, fear, and loathe us? We do everything so much better than they do."

And one more from another Klingon, named "Carla":

"I recently did an off-the -cuff survey of different people to find out why Klingons earn more charity money than Feddies. I dressed in my warrior's gear and went forth. I asked one lady what she thought about charity fund raising. She handed me a 5 dollar bill and said she love my outfit. I asked a gentleman in a suit and tie the same question and he handed me a 5 dollar bill and said my outfit was great. I asked a fireman the same question, he handed me a 5 dollar bill and asked to see my disruptor. I asked a police officer the question and she handed me a 5 dollar bill, and wanted to join up.

"Friday, I dressed up in my Feddie outfit and asked the same question of four different people. Three people handed me a dollar bill and smiled, the fourth person tossed some loose change into my tricorder and walked on.

"I have placed the money in our current charity fund and must assume that the more intense the costume, the more people appreciate the effort to make them smile."

Good job, Carla. And good job all my Klingon brothers and sisters. To our detractors, I raise my fist defiantly (I swear, that one finger has a mind of it's own!). But to y'all, I raise my fist in triumph and shout the thing that really says it all:

Qapla`!

Yellow Bird of Prey

In the town where I was born
Lived a Klingon whose hair was grey,
And he told me of his life
In a yellow Bird of Prey.
So we took off from Qo'noS
Then we cloaked and warped away
And we lived beneath the stars
In our yellow Bird of Prey.

CHORUS:-

We all live in a yellow Bird of Prey,
Yellow Bird of Prey,
Yellow Bird of Prey.
We all live in a yellow Bird of Prey,
Yellow Bird of Prey,
Yellow Bird of Prey.

And our friends are all aboard,
Kept in stasis just next door:
And the targs begin to howl.

<Insert targ howls here>

CHORUS

Although we live a warrior's life,
we've run into a bit of strife,
'Cause all our grog got beamed away
From our yellow Bird of Prey...

CHORUS x 2
