Kirk and
Spock beam down to
the surface of planet Organia to negotiate for the erection of a
Federation base on that planet. Hostilities between the nearby Klingon
Empire and Federation have reached alarming heights and it is feared
that the medieval culture of the Organians will not be able to
withstand a Klingon attack. However, the Organian Council, comprised of
five seemingly pleasant, benign elderly men, insist that they prefer to
stay with their more primitive culture.
When
Kor and his Klingon force
attack the planet, Kirk and Spock go undercover as Organian and Vulcan
traders. They are captured by the Klingons, and to their surprise, the
Organians free them with ease. In turn, the Klingon ship and the U.S.S.
Enterprise square off to battle in orbit of the planet.
Displeased
by the outbreak of
violence, the Organians reveal themselves to be powerful creatures of
pure energy who easily neutralize the weapons on both ships, thus
ending the threat for the moment.
Back
on the U.S.S. Enterprise, Kirk
feels certain that the Organians will not only take care of themselves
in the future, but monitor their surroundings for any hint of
hostilities.

A
soldier?? I
was under the impression
Kirk thought of himself as an explorer.
I guess they just needed him to say that
because it sounded better in this instance.

What about
the
Prime Directive?
As far as Kirk knows, these people have
almost no technology; how would they qualify
for Federation membership?

John Colicos
played
the first Klingon in Star Trek
history and he did a fantastic job!
He was born on December 10, 1928 in
Toronto, Ontario Canada and he died
of a heart attack on March 6, 2000.
There were lots of Canadians involved in Star Trek!

Both Kor and

Kor
I wonder
what the
Organians were planning
to do if the Federation hadn't shown up to
stop the Klingons. Would they have let the
Klingons use the planet as a base to launch
attacks on the Federation?

Commander
Kor - Captain
Kirk (Baroner)
Even though
it
sounds like Kor calls Kirk "Barona"
the Star Trek Concordance lists it as "Baroner."
Also, notice how Kor asks Kirk for his obedience
and Kirk avoids giving a yes or no answer by stating
that Kor seems to be the one in command.
Great dialogue!

It's a shame

never got to see Kor again
in the original series, he was a great character

Yes, I know they brought him back for 3 episodes
of DS9 but it just wasn't the same.

That's quite

I can't

After all, the Klingons only have 8 ships in orbit.
It's not like they have their entire fleet there.
