(Star Trek) Does the Klingon Empire actually have an empire?

I am sure they have an empire.  You just don't hear a lot about the planets involved in that empire in one show.  The Klingon empire has been slowly unveiled from the original Star Trek series to the Next Generation series and on.  It's even been revealed in the Star Trek movies as well.  Just watch Star Trek VI sometime.

No.\n\nSo far we've seen no verifiable evidence of other sentient species. That said, I believe with some certainty that somewhere in our galaxy at some past, present, or future time, a sentient species did/does/will exist.\n\nWhy haven't we heard from them?\n\nPerhaps they are not technologically advanced enough to be heard. They may be mastering stone knives right now, or experiencing their own Rennaisance.\n\nPerhaps they are here right now. Any species sufficiently advanced to travel interstellar distances would be able to hide or masquerade with ease. That Boeing 737 that flew by may be a surveillance craft.\n\nPerhaps they are so far away they will never notice us and vice versa.\n\nPerhaps they existed a million years ago and died out.\n\nPerhaps they will exist a million years from now.\n\nIt is really impossible to know for sure.\n\nThe Drake Equation suggests that there is sentient life out there. The Fermi Paradox casts doubt. Play around with the calculation form at the second link and see what you think.

Hey, do you really think the US is kind old Uncle Sam ??? The US also wants its own Empire.

I'd say a Klingon (as it is properly spelled) would be able to take a Vulcan (as it is properly spelled) in a fight any day. Klingons are known for their battling abilities where Vulcan's are mainly known for their logic. Even with the Vulcan nerve pinch, I don't think it would help. A Klingon would have sliced up a Vulcan with a bat'leth before the Vulcan could even get close enough to the Klingon to do the nerve pinch. The only way the Vulcan could win is if he snuck up behind the Klingon and did the nerve pinch before the fight started.

The ability to speak every single language that ever existed - including Klingon.

Picard and Kirk seem at least nominally Christian, but frequently make atheistic and agnostic remarks.\n\nVulcan religion is similar to Stoicism.\n\nBetazed religion is ill-defined but seems vaguely New Age.\n\nKlingon religion is similar in many respects to Asatru.\n\nI don't think Data has a religion, but were he to adopt one it would probably be that of his human wife's, if she had one, in order to live a more human lifestyle.\n\nQuark, as a Forengi, "worships" money which makes him a materialist.\n\nAn interesting article on religious themes with the Trek Universe:\nhttp://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/inconsistencies/religion.htm

Rather dark in there. No, it is a time warp continuum where all of the old Star Trek episodes have gone. Black holes were created so we would not have to watch old episodes over and over.\n\nGoing in means never coming back because the creators do not want you bringing any of the episodes back with you.\n\nSince the claim is that nothing escapes it, all input as to what it looks like is conjecture.

well since they have the exotic technology to travel light years across the galaxy then they probably have a nice menu set up for their intergalactic barbeque travels.\n\nALIEN 1:\n"hey, we are passing that 3rd planet from the sun...how about we fire up the barbie and cook some hot human @$$!"\nALIEN 2:\n"no, no, no, this time lets go for the big breasted blobs of meat that run around that small star system 4 light years in that direction?"

i believe they exist, only because I believe that the universe doesn't end meaning that mathematically on some other planet, it maybe one out of the speed of light, but it is possible beacuse theere are millions apon billions of other galaxcies all with many other planets and chances of producing life\n\nhowever with that being said the closest galaxies have aready been examined and concluded impossible to produce life as the planets of the other systems are way too harsh to support life, let alone intellegent life, not too mention those galaxies are light years away, so any one who beleives in alein encounters are bogies.

No. It is a violation of Paramount's copyright in the movies and TV shows.  As long as the trekkies don't go commercial, Paramount may ignore it as they don't want to upset the fans.

Yes, but not intelligent extraterrestrial life.  At least, not intelligent AND dextrous, and therefore incapable of interstellar travel and communication.\n\nFor example, besides humans, Earth is host to dolphins and whales, both mammals of high and - some would argue - superior intelligence to humans.  But you don't see dolphins or whales building space stations, sending probes throughout the solar system, or producing and watching "American Idol".\n\nI think it's the same on other planets - and only a few, if that.  If there's intelligent life, it's probably stuck where it is, like dolphins and whales are stuck here ("Star Trek IV" notwithstanding).

i am afraid that a klingon would crack me in half... but it would be fun to find out...( i'll try anything once)

They should of course.\n\nThe Starship Enterprise (according to its technical manual which I read as a teenager) has 'inertial dampers' and 'Heisenberg compensators' that compensate for the acceleration in the same way that they produce the artificial gravity on the ship.\n\nWhen the creators of Star Trek were asked how these work they replied "Very well, thank you."\n\nAccording to the manual these have a 'characteristic lag' which is why the actors get tossed about a bit when the ship colides with something or takes a hit from a weapon.

Yes he does, but I can't recall what it is at the moment. I'm sure you can find it online though.....it WAS addressed in an episode of Voyager.

Yes, and I can prove it mathematically:\n\nOur galaxy (the Milky Way) contains at least (by most estimates) 100 billion stars. Now thanks to the Hubble space telescope, we know for a fact that there are other solar systems out there. So let's be conservative and assume that just 1% of the stars in our galaxy have planets in orbit around them.\n\nThat's 1 billion other solar systems.\n\nNow, of those solar systems, let us assume that a further 1% have a planet that is just the right distance from the star to support life.\n\nThat's 10 million planets where life is possible.\n\nAnd if on just 1% of those planets, life actually formed, then there are 1 million planets in our galaxy that have microscopic life on them.\n\nNow let's assume that of that total, 1% have life evolve to any level of significance (creatures with a rudimentary intelligence). \n\nThat gives us 10,000 planets that actually have alien species on them.\n\nAgain, let's go with 1% and say that's the number of planets on which life developed any significant degree of intelligence and formed a civilization.\n\nThe end result is that there are at least 100 planets in our solar system that support life at least as intelligent as we are.\n\nNow, consider that our galaxy is one of an estimated 125 billion galaxies in the universe.\n\nThat gives you over 1 trillion alien civilizations scattered throughout the known universe.\n\nFrankly, it is scientifically impossible that we are the only intelligent species.\n\nAs for whether any of them have made contact with us... no, I don't believe so. You're talking about 100 planets in a galaxy of over 100 billion stars. The odds against any two of us making contact are just too great.

Yes.  They have communist ties.  Unfortunately there really is no such thing as a communism because of fall of Russia.  Very few countries continue to follow those dead beliefs, but China [except for Hong Kong] and Cuba still do.
