Revision as of 16:17, 14 August 2011
Martia was a Chameloid imprisoned on the Klingon penal colony Rura Penthe. In 2293, she was involved in a plot to kill Captain James T. Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy.
Martia was offered a full pardon for her crimes if she assisted the Klingons in murdering the two Starfleet officers, by helping them escape and therefore giving the guards a believable excuse for killing them. She initially approached Kirk and McCoy when they were imprisoned in Rura Penthe, offering them a way to escape. Using her shapeshifting abilities, she alternately appeared as a hulking, hirsute male alien to infiltrate a male-only level, and as a little blond girl to escape her restraints. Helping Kirk and McCoy travel beyond the magnetic shield, Martia then attempted to alert the guards to their location, and engaged in a fight with Kirk. When the commandant of the colony arrived, however, he killed Martia in an effort to eliminate all possible witnesses to the conspiracy. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Appendices
Background
Martia, appearing as she primarily did, was played by Iman. In the script for Star Trek VI, this appearance was described thus; "She's a tall and very good looking female, boots to her thighs, exotic furs, tattered but clearly humanoid."
Martia, appearing as the "Brute", was played by Tom Morga.
In her appearance as a small Human girl, Martia was played by Katie Johnston. This girl was scripted to appear "teenaged".
In her guise as a duplicate of James T. Kirk, Martia was played by William Shatner.
Although Martia's crime(s) are not mentioned in the movie, a draft version of the script contains additional dialog between Kirk and Martia in which she states that she is serving a life sentence for smuggling, which she admits to having been guilty of.
