The Klingon species and civilisation apparently undergo monolithic variety every decade or so . In the late 60s , they were portrayed as cunning and unintelligible enemies , as vicious as they were mysterious . This portrayal of the Klingons reached a zenithinStar Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country , where their Soviet Union - inspired backstory was the most obvious that it had ever been in the dealership .

But theKlingon warrior ’s Bat’leth still remains iconic ; it is a weapon no homo can even imagine wielding , at least , not without hurting oneself .
