Klingon System

A cold, politically charged star region toward which the Enterprise suddenly vectors, the Klingon System tastes of ionized metal and distant suns. Bridge consoles flash as trajectories realign; the stars smear into hurried navigation runs and the hum of engines threads through terse orders. The system functions as both destination and political fulcrum—Picard’s new course transforms private dishonor into an interstate crisis, and the emptiness beyond its jump points amplifies urgency, protocol, and the brittle honor that propels tactical decisions.
