Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted January 14, 2004 (edited) I Think They Sent It To A Lab, Myself. Incase This Is Needed, Kruge Is The Klingon Captain In Star Trek III. Kirk And Co. Stole His Ship After Kirk Killed Kruge On Planet Genesis. It Was The Same Klingon Ship Used In Star Trek IV.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted January 14, 2004 Who's Kruge? is it a TOS? care to elaborate. pls. Kruge is the villian in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. As for the poll, I agree with Sammy that it'd end up salvaged and taken to a Starfleet lab for study. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted January 14, 2004 It Was A Fairly New Klingon Ship At The Time. That's Enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vold 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Got a pic of it? Speaking of Klingon ships, is there a class called "Sword of Kahless"? or is that just a game thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam The Smuggler 1 Posted January 14, 2004 (edited) Have You Ever Seen III & IV?? Or V & VI Aswell..The Same Design Is Used In Those Movies Too. And I Think That's Just A Game Thing Click for Spoiler: Edited January 14, 2004 by Sam The Smuggler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted January 14, 2004 Got a pic of it? Speaking of Klingon ships, is there a class called "Sword of Kahless"? or is that just a game thing? There's a Sword of Kahless seen on DS9, but no ship class of that name. Commande Kruge's ship from ST-3 was the very first Klingon Bird of Prey seen in Trek. In ST-4, Kirk and crew named it the H.M.S. Bounty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Ericks 0 Posted January 15, 2004 I think, given the negotiations that were going on with the Klingons at the time, and the fact that Star Fleet never ended up developing a cloak, before it was banned by a treaty with the Romulans, I don't think that it was kept by Star Fleet, and even if it sank, they would have found a way to pulled it back up.

Yeah, but can anyone remember why it was called that specifically? (why should Master Q set all the questions? lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but can anyone remember why it was called that specifically? (why should Master Q set all the questions? lol) Didn't it come from the TOS ship 'Romulan Bird of Prey'? I think at one time the Klingons and Romulans were sharing technology.. As for the question..I believe the Federation returned Kruge's ship to the Klingons..After all Kirk did steal it !!!

vold 0 Posted January 15, 2004 I beg u difer, its a "computer game" don't say video, it sounds awful. anyway, just checking if theres real or not. After all games do base on the show too. The Feds & Klingons had a war on each other, don't they something bigger then Constitution or K'T'inga classes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Ericks 0 Posted January 15, 2004 The Enterprise crew rebeled against Star Fleet, just like the crew of the H.M.S Bounty in the book and later movie, Mutiny on the Bounty. I guess they were content with saving Spock and were in a humerous mood when it came to naming the Bird of Prey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Treker89 0 Posted January 15, 2004 I would think the Federation would learn all they could about it then give it back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace 0 Posted January 16, 2004 I vote that they tore into it for study, but I can't decide whether they would've returned it or not afterwards. They weren't allies w/ the Klingons at the time, and they had every right to keep it imho, but that Klingon Ambassador definitely would've had a fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prometheus 0 Posted January 23, 2004 Did you know, the reason why Krudge's ship was called a 'Bird of Prey' and had wings painted on the underside was because in the original script for Star Trek 3, the villans were going to be Romulans. But then last minute it changed to Klingons but the model had alraedy been built. So that is why we ended up with a Klingon bIRD OF pREY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originally Kruge was supposed to have stolen that ship from the Romulans but this was taken out of the script. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree and voted so but I dont think the Klingons ever saw hide nor hair of that ship again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuttle 0 Posted January 26, 2004 I cannot beleive that Starfleet would have just left it in the sea - It would have been too tempting. I'd also like to think that Starfleet would have returned the ship to the klingon's afterward, for the sake of good relations, but having said that, I'm not convinced that the Klingon's would have actually wanted it back anway - Kruge essentially failed in his mission and his ship was stolen. The ship would therefore be a reminder of that failure, and no doubt somthing of a dishonour (and embarrasment) to the Klingon empire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
