The qaptaQ is an organization dedicated
to the Klingon ideals of Honor, Glory, Strength and Straightforwardness.
The qaptaQ way of life is often summarized by the principle of Nal Komerex
Khesterex: That which does not grow, shall wither and die.
The qaptaQ testify to the great loyalty and fidelity which is to be found
in all Klingons everywhere: the pride inherent in the greatness which has
sprung from the Klingon warrior since the earliest of times. The qaptaQ
fight for a way of life, a total philosophy.
The qaptaQ has, as its speculative origins a rich pre-history extrapolated
from the fictional 23rd and 24th centuries portrayed in the various incarnations
of Star Trek. In addition, the qaptaQ owes much of its support to a series
of original works authored by many of its members. Such works often depict
periods far back in time, before the mighty race known as the Klingons
had developed spaceflight or a common cultural identity.
The operative origin of the qaptaQ is deeply rooted in the counter culture
of the Klingons which has evolved around Star Trek in all its forms.
The main focus of the qaptaQ is based around the exploration of the political,
cultural, and spiritual lives of that most noble of people, the warriors
of the Klingon Empire, as well as the possible history of the Empire as
portrayed in the various embodiments of Star Trek.
Many Klingons live a lifetime and never join the ranks of the qaptaQ. This
does not signify dishonor for them, for membership in the qaptaQ represents
a calling to a way of life which is a greater challenge than that faced
by the rank and file of Klingon warriors.
The central belief of the qaptaQ is that all Klingons are warriors and
some warriors become strategists, of those who do, some few may come to
know the way of the life of a warrior. Such is the essential nature of
membership in the Knights of the qaptaQ.
