	Qo'noS - the Klingon Homeworld

map or diagram extract

Qo'noS (pronounced 'kronos') is a large green Class-M world and the capital planet of the Klingon Empire, almost invariably referred to as the Homeworld, [Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]. Kling is a district or city on the Klingon Homeworld. The renegade Korris spoke disparagingly of "the traitors of Kling", [TNG: Heart of Glory]. Encyclopaedia reports: At the time the episode was written, Kling was intended as the name of the Klingon Homeworld. Once the episode was filmed, it was realised that the name sounded pretty silly, so later scripts simply referred to 'the Homeworld,' and we now assume that Kling is a city or district. The first time the homeworld was given a name was in [Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country], when it was called Qo'noS, pronounced 'kronos'. This was clever nomenclature because it invokes thoughts of Kronos, a (literally) towering ruler of gods in ancient Greek mythology.
