Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Summary
I latterly rewatchedStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 3 , episode 3 , " The House of Quark " and was surprised to discover it contain a heavy Klingon milestone . Ronald D. Moore ’s amazingly good mash - up of Ferengi comedy and Klingon traditional knowledge sees Quark ( Armin Shimerman ) inadvertently become the head of a Klingon home after an inexpedient boast catch out of hand . To drum up business in his flagging bar , Quark claims to have bump off a Klingon warrior called Kozak ( John Lendale Bennett ) , which scuppers the plans of the dead man ’s widow woman Grilka ( Mary Kay Adams ) to take ascendance of his home .
Quark is then taken by Grilka to Qo’noS , where she marries him against his will so that he can sit at the oral sex of the kinfolk as her puppet . " The House of Quark " wasStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s only Klingon story until Michael Dorn join thecast ofDS9as Lt . Commander Worf in time of year 4.Incidentally , " The House of Quark " is also notable for being the onlyStar Trekepisode to feature Chancellor Gowron ( Robert O’Reilly ) that does n’t also have Worf in it . However , DS9season 3 , episode 4 has a much more surprising Klingon milestone than either of these .
In its first Klingon episode , Star Trek : The Next Generation aim a name for the Klingon homeworld that gratefully did n’t stick .
DS9’s “The House of Quark” Has A Surprising Klingon Milestone
Star Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 3 , episode 4 , " The House of Quark " is the last episode of anyStar Trekshow to feature Qo’noS for seven eld . I found this surprising given how involved the Klingons later become inDS9 ’s Dominion War . In fact , Rick Berman and the studio apartment insisted thatDS9season 4 introduced Worf and focused more hard on the Klingons , so I find it odd that the last sojourn to Qo’noS take lieu a year earlier . And yet , the next clock time that Qo’noS is describe on screen is in the pilot light ofStar Trek : Enterprise , " Broken Bow " in 2001 .
Star Trek : Enterprise act as a prequel to Star Trek : The Original Series , detailing the voyages of the original gang of the Starship Enterprise in the 22nd C , a hundred years before Captain Kirk commanded the ship . Enterprise was the 6th series in the Star Trek franchise overall , and the terminal serial before a twelve - year reprieve until the premiere of Star Trek : Discovery in 2017 . The series asterisk Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer , with an ensemble mould that include John Billingsley , Jolene Blalock , Dominic Keating , Anthony Montgomery , Linda Park , and Connor Trinneer .
To be reasonable toStar Trek : Deep Space Nine , it took almost 24 eld for the USS Enterprise to visit the Klingon homeworld in the first place . In 1990,Star Trek : The Next Generation ’s " wickedness of the Father " was the first on - screen delineation of the Klingon homeworld . In a deleted scene from " Sins of the Father " , Commander William T. Riker ( Jonathan Frakes ) explain that for years a Starfleet officer on Qo’noS would be a dying sentence , perhaps explaining whyDS9largely steered decipherable of the Klingon homeworld .

Released a class afterwards , Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Countrysaw Captain James T. Kirk ( William Shatner ) and Dr. Leonard " Bones " McCoy ( DeForest Kelley ) stand test on Qo’noS.
Why Star Trek: DS9 Never Had More Scenes On Qo’noS
Star Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 4 saw the Klingon Empire break their alliance with the Federation , make them enemy once more . This would mean that Starfleet officers were n’t welcome on Qo’noS for the continuance of the Second Klingon War . Worf ’s job with the Klingonsmeant that even he would n’t be welcome on Qo’noS. Even after the alinement was reinstate , there was no pauperism to inflict Qo’noS as the threat from the Dominion required a regular Klingon bearing in and around DS9 and the Bajoran Wormhole .
I still find it weird that Quark is the onlyStar Trek : Deep Space Ninecharacter to be seen visiting Qo’noS in the show ’s seven seasons . particularly as Captain Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) leads a covert mission to a Klingon base on Ty’Gokor , instead of right into the heart of Gowron ’s council . Ronald D. Moore had planned for Worf and Gowron ’s concluding struggle in " Tacking into the Wind " to take place on Qo’noS , but the aspect was reduce , presumably to better pacing . So Quark ’s Klingon caper remains the onlyStar Trek Deep Space Nineepisode set on Qo’noS.
