Advisers[]

General #1 []

A Klingon general

This general was an adviser to Azetbur following her ascension to the position of Klingon chancellor following the assassination of her father, Chancellor Gorkon. The general blamed the Federation for Gorkon's death and urged Azetbur to "attack or be slaves in their world!". Azetbur wisely chose not to follow this course of action. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

This general was also an adviser to Azetbur and followed the advices made by Kerla and another general after Azetbur contacted the President of the Federation.

He was also, however, a member of the Khitomer conspiracy and collaborated with General Chang, among others, to sabotage the tentative peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. He later served under Chang aboard Chang's experimental Klingon Bird-of-Prey, which could fire weapons while cloaked. He was present when Chang engaged the Enterprise-A and USS Excelsior over Khitomer and was killed when the Bird-of-Prey was destroyed. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

This Klingon general was played by Matthias Hues.
In the novelization of Star Trek VI, his name was given as Grokh.

General #3 []

Klingon general in transporter room

A Klingon general

This general accompanied Chancellor Gorkon, Azetbur, Chang, Stex, and Kerla aboard the Enterprise-A after Captain Kirk invited Gorkon and his staff for a dinner aboard the ship. He was the last officers who stepped off of the transporter platform and had a close look at Doctor McCoy. During the following dinner he sat between Chang and Stex and was asked by Uhura if he was also fond of Shakespeare. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

This Klingon general was portrayed by a background actor with the last name Farrel who received no credit for this part.
He was identified as general by the call sheet of the shooting day, the 5 June 1991, and by Uhura in dialogue.

Bird-of-Prey personnel []

These soldiers served on the Klingon Bird-of-Prey which raided the Doctari Alpha Research Outpost in 2236. They beamed aboard the outpost and killed Mike Burnham, while his wife, Gabrielle Burnham escaped using the Red angel suit. (DIS: "Perpetual Infinity")

Captain []

Klingon captain, 2268

The captain of a D7-class battle cruiser

In 2268, this captain attempted to engage the USS Enterprise in the disputed Tellun system. The captain was coordinating with a Elasian spy named Kryton, on board the Enterprise, in planting a bomb that was set to destroy the ship if it attempted to engage its warp drive. The captain then used his warship to taunt the Enterprise into going to warp. Unable to provoke the Enterprise, the captain finally ordered it to standby for boarding or be destroyed and no conditions even on Elaan's safety, before finally being deterred by a retaliatory attack by the Enterprise. (TOS: "Elaan of Troyius")

The Klingon captain was played by actor K.L. Smith. The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as Khod.

Commander []

Klingon commander, 2287

Klingon commander

In 2287, this commander reported the hostage situation on Nimbus III, and ordered Klaa on a mission to proceed there, to rescue disgraced General Korrd. News of a Terran among the hostages piqued Klaa's and Vixis' interest in the mission. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

This Klingon was played by an unknown actor.
According to the novelization of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (pp 80-81), this officer was General Krell, a man whose sister was married to Korrd. That reason alone being the Klingon's only motivation for rescuing the otherwise disgraced Korrd.

Communications officer #1 []

Late in 2267, this officer impersonated a distress call from the Federation freighter SS Dierdre, when in fact, the call was actually coming from a Klingon scout ship, in a failed attempt to lure the USS Enterprise away from the planet Capella IV.

The officer, who claimed that the Dierdre was under heavy attack by Klingon vessels, faltered in his claim by addressing the Enterprise directly while making a "general" distress call. Montgomery Scott, the acting commanding officer at the time, caught the error, and ignored the attempt at deception, because starship positions were generally not known to convoy freighters. (TOS: "Friday's Child")

This character appeared as an off-screen voiceover.
This uncredited role was voiced by Walker Edmiston, the script describes the character as "Officer's voice".

Communications officer #2 []

... (DIS: "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum")

Played by Anthony Grant.

Elysian councilor[]

Engineers []

According to Kor, only a handful of engineers in the Klingon Imperial Fleet knew how to operate cloaking devices in the 2260s. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")

These engineers were only mentioned in dialogue.

Khitomer Conference attendees[]

Occupation of Organia []

Several hundred soldiers beamed down near the citadel during their participation in the military occupation of Organia under Governor Kor in 2267. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy") These soliders were only mentioned in dialogue.

Lieutenant []

Klingon First Lieutenant

Kor's lieutenant

This lieutenant was second in command to Kor. In 2267, he was with Kor when the Klingons took possession of the peaceful planet Organia.

Upon the arrival on Organia, the lieutenant was tasked with the duty using the mind scanner on Spock to determine his intentions on the planet. Following the interrogation, he reported to Kor his findings.

Later he reported to Kor that the spies, Kirk and Spock, had escaped their prison cell, despite there having been ten guards on duty at all times. In retaliation to the Organians assisting in their escape, Kor ordered the lieutenant to evoke Special Occupation Order 4, resulting in the execution of two hundred Organians.

Kor later ordered the lieutenant to kill another two hundred Organians, but was captured by Kirk and Spock shortly after he departed Kor's office. Kirk questioned the lieutenant before Spock incapacitated him with a Vulcan nerve pinch. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")

The lieutenant was played by actor Victor Lundin. "That was a bone, thrown to me by Paramount," he said. "It was a very small role as a Klingon and I didn't want to do it. Casting director Joe D'Agosta asked me to do it for him as a favor, so I did." (Starlog #224)
In the first draft of the script, this role was originally divided between a "technician" (who interrogated both Spock and, in a deleted scene, Kirk) and this corresponding, unchanged "lieutenant" role. By the final draft of the script, the role was combined into a single individual.
The Star Trek Customizable Card Game gives his name as Kered.

Soldier 1 []

Klingon soldier Organia 1

First soldier

This soldier was part of the occupation force that entered the village during the Klingon invasion Organia.

He held little regard for the Organians, later deliberately collided with Baroner and Spock, as they walked along the walkway near a cafe, informing them to get out of his way. When Spock apologized to the soldier for having not seen him coming, he was told "next time keep your eyes open, or I'll shut them permanently," before shoving him into Kirk. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")

This soldier was played by Walt Davis, who was listed in the episode's cast sheet as a "Klingon soldier".
In the script, he was described as "a tall Klingon soldier", and after his interaction with Kirk and Spock, it was noted that "he swaggers on, arrogant, proud".
In alternate lines that appeared in the script but not in the filmed episode, he had originally told Kirk and Spock, "When your betters approach... into the street, Organians!"

Soldier 2 []

Klingon soldier Organia 2

Second soldier

This soldier was part of the occupation during the Klingon invasion Organia.

He was on patrol outside the citadel at night, when he was attacked and knocked out by Kirk before dragging him away. Following the attack, Kirk and Spock were able to successfully destroy the munitions dump outside the citadel. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")

This soldier was played by George Sawaya. He was identified in the script and cast sheet as "2nd Klingon", and was described as being both "armed and armored".
This role was originally written as a speaking role, as was evident in the first draft of the script, which presented this scene slightly different than what appeared in the aired episode. Originally, the "1st Klingon" and "2nd Klingon" were marching post, and meeting at a central location. Upon discovering the soldiers, Kirk and Spock split up, with Kirk incapacitating the "1st Klingon", who is later sought by the "2nd Klingon" when they don't meet again at the same point in their march. When the "2nd Klingon" becomes "worried", he calls out by name for the "1st Klingon" – "Klong" in the first draft; "Chen" in the final draft – but is himself incapacitated by Spock.
Though two soldiers seen patrolling at night in the aired episode, Kirk only encounters and incapacitates this soldier, while Spock was unseen elsewhere.

Soldier 3 []

Third soldier

This soldier was among the squad that entered the village when the Klingons invaded Organia.

Following Kor's talk with Kirk at his office, this and another soldier escorted Kirk away to be placed in the prison cell with Spock. After learning of the escape of Spock and Kirk from the prison cell, the same two led the lieutenant away to execute two hundred more Organians.

This solder was, finally, among the small group that entered Kor's office after it was discovered that he had been taken prisoner by Kirk and Spock. He found his disruptor to be too hot to handle, and when he attempted to fight with Spock, he found that physical contact between the two also yielded unbearable pain. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")
